BURNED BY GASOLINE
Serious Accident Befalls Mrs. Gar
field Adams.

Mrs. Garfield Adams, residing at
corner of H street and G avenue west,
was severely burned by the explosion
of gasoline stove. The accident
occurred at one o'clock Sunday after.
noon. Mrs. Adams had lighted the
stove preparatory for the cooking of
dinner. She noticed the stove was
not running in the usual manner and
discovered it to be leaking and the
fame ran back to the tank, which was
full of gasoline. She picked up the
stove, which was small one, and In
attempting to throw 1t out of doors
the fame caught in her clothing.
Owing to the heat of the day Mrs.
Adams was attired in loose dressing
jacket which was Immediately in
flames. Her sister and another lady
were not aware of any trouble until
Mrs. Adams ran into the front room
and out onto the porch. The screams
of the women arrested the attention
Of Capt. and Mrs. G. Woodruff, who
were passing the house. The ladies
were so paralyzed with fright that
they could do nothing to aid Mrs.
Adams in her struggle to escape from
the flames. Only the promptness and
bravery of Capt. Woodruff in rushing
to her aid saved her from being more
severely burned, perhaps to death, as
the wind had caught her as she came
onto the porch and her clothing was
Immediately in flames. With COM
mendable GOODNESS the Captain rushed
to her side and, catching at the lower
part of her skirt, wrapped it around
the flames and tore the burning gar
ments from her All clothing above
her waist was burned away. The
greatest and most painful wounds are
on right arm and shoulder and right
side, extending to the hip.
Much credit and praise is due Mrs.
Woodruff, who retained her presence
of mind and Immediately called doc
tor by phone, and also telephoned Mrs.
John Miller, mother of the injured
woman, and had dispatched meSsen-
ger for Mr.Adams to the Round House
where he was employed. Kind neigh
bors came and the fire was extin-
guished, it having done but little
damage to the property.
DR.. Jerrel was upon the scene in a
few moemnts. He dressed the
wounds and Mrs. Adams is resting as
well as could be expected under the
circumstances, attended by both her
mother and the mother of Mr.. Adams.
While the accident was not fatal, 1t
surely was bad enough to teach the
adde's OF oskaloosa and vicinity not to
attempt to use gasoline stove which
is out of order in any way. The only
sale way is to let them alone.

CLIMPSES OF COAST
Mr.. Walling of The Herald Tells of
His Travels.

Santa Barbara. Cal, July l2.-Dear
Folks: We heard a fine concert by
La Monaca's famous Santa Barbara
band this afternoon. You can't lose
Oskaloosa. One Of the. prominent mum
bers on the program was "Os-Ka1Loo-
Sa-Loo." This oband comprises only
sixteen pieces and is paid $4,000 for
three months work. After the con,
cert met the director and did some
boosting for Farmhouse.
We caught our first glimpse of the
ocean between Los Angeles and here
and saw planted out in the water
about fifty oil wells. This town has
10000 population, three daily papers
several large hotels, and is surround
ed on three sides by mountains and on
one by the Pacific. Their principal
occupation is tourists" which, by
the way, will apply to nine out of ten

BOYS ARE ALL COMING
Thirty Third Iowa Reunion Will
Have Large Attendance.

The letters and replies to the an
nouncement of the reunion dates con
tinue to arrive from all quarters. In
all of the replies received by Secre
tary John N. Martin within the last
two days, all but three gave notice .oi
intention to be in Uskaloosa for the
reunion. The three were not regrets
but only statements of uncertainty as
to ability to be present for the meet
ing.
Among the letters was one from
John P. Walker, of Cuba, Mo-, who
says he will be here. Mr.. Walker
was formerly prominent business
man of Oskaloosa. He operated the
old wooden mills that stood at the
corner Of A avenue and A street and
was torn down comparatively few
years ago to make room for residence
buildings. He was the first captain
of Company e Of the Thirty-third Iowa
and was known by practically every
one in the regiment. Captain Walker
will be here for the reunion and his
coming will bring members of his
company who might not otherwise
have come. ". -sau

THE OLD CEMETERY.
Some One Should See That Place Is
Improved.

The condition of things at the Old
cemetery, north of the city, which
was formerly Oskaloosa's only bury
ing place until the Forest Cemetery
Association was organized, is rapidly
going to ruin and it's appearance is a
disgrace to the community. The
cemetery is owned by society, but
no one seems to know who are Off
GERS of the organization. With the ex-
ception of few private lots which
are kept in first-class condition by
relatives of the deceased, the GENE
terry resembles a wildwood and if it
was not for the presence of tomb
stones a passerby would not know
that it is a burylng place. Not only
does the grass remain uncut, but the
graves are sunken, tombstones have
toppled over and are half buried in
the ground and the roadways through
the place are not maintained.

The fire was distinctly seen from
Oskaloosa and was first thought to be
near Beacon, or possibly south OF
Evans. The light of the fire shone
high and bright against the clouds OF
coming storm and gave the impress
ion of being only short distance west
of the city. Inquiry by telephone at
Evans and Bolton revealed the fact
that the flames we're still to the west
and the trouble was finally located at
Tracy. The town of Tracy Is located
