FIRE LAST NIGHT.
Between Twelve and Ono O'Clock Fire
Whistle Shrleked and Sleep Was
Banlshed In Dodge City.

Since the big fire at the Bargain
Store the fire whistle In Dodge City
is a shriek Of terror to the people.
Last night after midnight the alarm
sounded and there was little sleep for
the hour in town. There seemed to
be q rush Of business at the telephone
Office and the location Of the fire
could not be learned from that source
so great many people chased ont
over town to find the fire.
The fire was the Put Hill place
just east Of the Baptist church and
the two front rooms Of the cot
tage and contents were prac
tically destroyed There was no
wind and consequently the fire was
confined to the one house. With a
high wind and other conditions the

Workman with Ballast Train Killed on Track
Near Howell Monday. Family In Italy.
Working here for the support OF a
wife and three daughters in Italy,
Vito Bono, an italian laborer with a
Santa Fe Ballast train, fell from the
train near Howell last Monday, and
received injuries from which he died
d short time later. Vito Bono came
TO this country with a brother and a
son and had landed with a work
train here, the two brothers working
together. They were with an extra
gang on the Santa Fe which had
been ballasting the track west from
Dodge City. just how the accident
occurred no one seems to know. It
was a rainy slippery day, and Bono
was riding on the end Of the cars.
He either slipped in getting across to
another car, or fell from where be
was sitting. One leg was cut of by
the train and the Italian practically
bled to death before be could be
brought to town on the engine. His
sixteen year old son, who was With
him, was nearly crazed with grief.
The wife and daughters will not
learn OF his death until letter CAL
make the voyage to Italy.

Dodge City's dog catcher was be-
fore the council last night with his

is youthful southerner, who speaks

want to know" he rang out before
the council, "is whether I can 60 in.

Attorney N. W. Sutton handed up
an opinion to the young man, in fact,
instructed him TO 60 into the yard II
necessary. into tho house, or even
under the bed il the fleeing canine led
thither. The young man indicated
that he could 60 any place dog
could providing the council was back
Of him and not the dog. Then he
stated that there was a spotted dog
following q delivery wagon. The
owner said that the tag was paid but
that he would not put the tax on the
dog until he got ready. "What will
/ do with him9" walled the young
official. He was instructed to bring
the dog into the pond. "I'll sure
bring him" he remarked grimly and
be "sure will"
There 10 some danger Of too much
trouble arising over the dog question.
Dog, dynamite and another popular
American word that begins with "d''

their own affair as much ar the rffair
Of the council. II dogs are to be
taxed they should all be taxed. II a
dog DOES not wear tag the dog
catcher can not tell that the tax has
been paid. II is not reasonable to
expect the dog catcher to have the
personal acquaintance Of all the d 'gs
in town and know them by their first
names. The dog catcher is out on
instructions. He has the law on his
side. II he does not use good judg
ment, the dog owner should appeal
10 authorities, not fight the dog
catcher. II the people of Dodge
City want dogs on the free list, they
should have the council repeal the
ordinance. In any event it is not
worth while to get into trouble over

moving backward and forward in the direc.
tion OF the wave notion even ~ the spokes
OF wheel radiate from the hub and the radii
OF circle originate at the center.
But this explosion of dynamite would not

SHOWN to exist in water waves 1t ID very easy
to see how the normal waves originate, but II
requires some little effort to understand how
the other kind IL started. When the dyna.
mite explodes 1t imparts q peculiar, twisting
motion to the entire rock face of the cavern
In which the dynamite was exploded. This
twisting motion is the parent of the trans
verse waves and they start on their way TO-
gether with the normal waves.
The two kinds Of waves. normal and trans.
verse. start out on their errands Of destruc.
tion together and are generally present in
earthQuakes. Sometimes, however, they sepa.
rate and travel in different directions, or one
of them loses its energy through some varia-
ton in the nature Of the strata, or from
gether these waves correspond in their effect
to that shown when two pendulums are acting
as one, as In the sand pendulum referred to
before. This explains the fact that usually
there is verticose or twisting motion present
in most earthquakes; but sometimes ~ when
the waves separate, only an up-and-down mo-
ton, or q twisting motion alone. Normal
waves travel faster than the transverse.
