Baby Badly Burned.

The little two-year- son of Mr..
and Mrs. Emmett Shortreed of this
city had narrow escape from being
scalded to death last Monday fore
noon. The mother was preparing to
do the usual weeks washing and had
a boiler of hot water and I've on the
stove. Placing a tub on the floor she
lifted the boiler from the stove and
poured portion of it's contents into
the tub. As she turned to replace the
boiler over the fire the child rushed in
from another room and fell head fore
most into the tub of hot water. The
agonizing screams of the child as the
water instantly burned its
delicate skin almost drove the mother
frantic with fear, and hastily setting
the boiler down she grabbed the little
fellow from his perilous predicament.
AS she picked him up the little fellow
smarting with pain rubbed his hands
together, the skin peeling off wher-
ever they came in contact. Medical
attendance was promptly summoned
and the wounds dressed and the little
fellow is resting as comfortably as is
possible under the circumstances, and
in due time will be fully recovered
again. Both arms. the breast and one
side of the face We're burned to a
blister. With the family all rejoice
at the little ones escape from more
serious consequences. --Postville Re-

Sheriff Culver win, Hi. Case.

AT the late term of the district
court the case Of O. l.. Culver VS..
Fayette county was argued and SUBJ
mitted to the court. The judge took
the matter under advisement, and on
Friday afternoon rendered his decision
in favor Of Mr.. Culver for the full
amount claimed by him and Judgment
was entered against the defendant for
the 81. 400 and interest and costs.
This is case that has attracted a
great deal OF attention not alone over
this county, but over the entire state,
and in some parts Of this county it has
been made to appear as suit by the
county against Mr.. Culver instead by
the latter against the county, and for
money which he claimed was right
fully due him. The case involved an
Interpretation Of q new section of the
code, and the court holds that Mr..
Culver's Interpretation of the law was
right. The bill was presented to the
board at the January 1907 meeting,
and was for deputy hire for three
years at $500 per year. which ~srs'
sheriff had paid out. The board re-
fused to pay the bill ON the ground
that the law looked different to them,
and they preferred to have the matter
settled by the court. The suit was
started April ~. 1907. and interest
from this date will be added to the

claim to his daughter Tillie, young
lady aged about 90 years. She had
arisen and started a fire in the heat

house and went to the barnyard to
milk the cows. Upon returning to
the house she found the fire in the
stove had failed to burn, or apparent
ly so, and securing the oil can poured
a quantity in cup and threw it into
the stove. The stove was an old
fashioned heater with an opening
near the base and when she threw the
oil in flame instantly shot out and
instead of coming out of the door, as
one might suppose, burst from the
opening below. setting fire to her
skirts. Realizing her predicament
she ran to the water pail and in the
attempt to extinguish the flames.
which were rapidly enveloping her,
the pail was upset and the contents
spilled on the floor. Failing in this
in her excitement ran out doors and
by that time was almost mass of
flames. Medical attendance was at
once summoned and everything pos
sible done for her relief. but after
lingering for twelve hours and endur-
ing the most severe torture to which
a human could be subject she passed
away at 80 Sunday evening.

bent affectionately known as "Auntie"
Broedbent. was going from here to
Long Valley on the mail wagon. Just
before they reached the dugway going
down into Long Valley canyon tho
horses ran away. The driver was
thrown out OF the buggy, first taking
the lines with him, to which he held
for some distance and dropped them.
Left entirely to themselves. the horses
left the road shortly, running under n
low-lirnbed cedar tree. Mrs. Broadbent
was knocked or dragged from the car
riage. When the driver reached her,
she was gasping her last. Besides sew
eral bruises and cuts on the face, her
right leg was broken Just below the
knee and the right arm was either
broken or thrown out of the socket
The funeral will be held tomorrow at
10 o'clock from the Westinghouse. Tho
sincere sympathy of the entire county
goes out to the aged husband and tho
family. The accident seems all the
more cruel because, 1t is thought, II Is
the result OF gross carelessness on the
part of someone. One of the horses that
was driven that morning had a bad
record as n runaway: the driver was
young, and the buggy is said to have
been without brake. Justice of the
Peace Edwin Nj. Ford appointed a jury
and conducted an examination of the
body, and VIII hold an inquest tomor-
row as soon as witnesses can be
brought from the valley.
