IN AIRY ATTIRE.
A Physician Made a Run With
Little But Shoes On.
Caused the Eyes Of the Winfield
Spectators to Open.
PATIENT A FIRE VICTIM
GrOceryman Filled Coal Oil Can
With Gasoline.
Cred Can" Law Doesn't Seem to
Answer the Purpose.

Winfield, Kan. April 1.-THE Cour-
Ter says: Charles A. Redmond of 213
Millington was severely burned by an
explosion of gasoline with which he
had tried to light a fire, thinking 1t
was coal oil. The burning liquid was
thrown all over him and his clothing
nearly consumed before help came to
extinguish the blaze. His forearms
these injuries may be permanent. The
fire also blistered his legs badly. The
had started a fire. which had died
down. and to make 1t burn faster,
turned on it the coal oil can. which by
a groceryman's mistake had been filled
with gasoline. The damage to the
house, which is the property of Fire
Chief Jordan, was slight.
The fire occurred about o'clock IN
the morning when many were on their
way to work. These. on Main street,
enjoyed spectacle not usually on the
bills. AS soon as it was known that
Mr.. Redmond was severely burned a
friend ran to the street car barn,
pressed car into service and went for
a doctor. The first in his reach was
DR.. Evans, and him he found in bed
jumped into a pair of shoes, seized his
emergency kit and an armful OF
clothes and rushed to the car In the
ARREST negligee ever seen on the prin-
cipal street of Winfield. Then as the
street car flew back to the scene of the
disaster, the doctor hurriedly made
his toilet, and when he arrived at the
house was in conventional attire, even
to neatly tied cravat. People who
from the sidewalks saw the mad rush
and hurried dressing, did not know
what to make of it and were more
than hilarious.
Mr. Redmond is a laborer who mas
been working on street and pipe line
work for the past year. His accident
is a serious misfortune. as 1T will be
weeks before he can work again, even
If he is not permanently crippled.
There seems little doubt that the mis-
take was that of the man who filled
the can with gasoline. This is not
the first time it has happened here |
recently. The "red can" law ought to
be some protection, but even that VIII |
not save if the one who fills the can |
puts gasoline in the coal oil
cans.

AFTER THE MORAN OFFICIALS.
Citizen of the Town Says They Have
Drawn Illegal Salaries.

lola, April lis. C. Warmer is in
lola from Moran, consulting the county
attorney with reference to instituting
action against the present mayor, and
the ex-mayors and the present council
men, and the ex-councilmen, of the
city of Moran for the purpose of COM
polling them to turn back into the city
treasury several hundred dollars
which he alleges they have drawn as
salaries for their services as city Of
f1cials, in violation of the law.
Mr. Warmer says he is not prompted
to take action in the matter through
any personal ill will. He says the city
of Moran is too small a town to pay
salaries to its city officials, and that
the people can not afford it, as taxes
are too high already. He says the
town needs the $500 or $500 which has
been paid out in violation of law for
the purpose of improving the streets.
