Murdo Carpenter Loses Hand as Re.

A very lamentable accident occurr.
I'd at Murdo, when J.. H. Rowe, a car.

he shops of Contractor j. H. Cox, be-
came entangled in a circular saw,
which was being I'll by a gasoline
engine, and sustained injuries which
cesulted in the amputation of his hand
between the wrist and the elbow.
Mr.. Rowe was working in the shop
alone at the time, and in endeavoring
o reach Under the table on which the
saw was running in order to tighten
4 belt, the wristband Of his shirt
caught on the mandrel of the saw
and was Immediately wrapped around
I, throwing Mr.. Rowe's arm directly
II the way of the saw. The first and
second fingers, together with the
.humb, were sawed entirely off and the
wrist was sawed through until the
land only hung by a shred of flesh.
Mr.. Rowe screamed for help, but was
unable to make his cries heard for
about five minutes, when Mr.. Cox. his
employer, in passing the shops, heard
his cries and rushing in, stopped the
engine.
Mr.. Rowe vas at once taken to the
hospital Of DR.. w. e. Winsett, where
it was decided by DR.. Winsett that an
amputation would be necessary. The
amputation was performed by DR.. Win
sett, assisted by DR.. Hands of the city,
and DR.. Hunt OF Draper, and resulted
very satisfactorily, the patient having
undergone the same very nicely. and
is now resting easy.
The city of Murdo is to be congratu-
lated On having IN institution such as
Or. Winsett's hospital in its midst.
1t is thoroughly equipped, and is con.
Quoted on the most modern methods.
Mr.. Rowe's many friends were much
shocked by the accident, and he has
the sincere sympathy Of the entire

THE SMALL GREENHOUSE
GOOD THING ON FARM
What Can Be Done With a Small Outlay Of Money-By
S. r. Maynard, Massachusetts,.

The farmer who would make his
crops Of vegetables most profitable, or
the small gardener who would have
an early supply of early vegetables for
home use or market must employ
some kind of glass structures to hasten
these crops. The hotbed or cold
frame have been much in use in the
past, but the cost of sash, shutters and
mats is nearly as much as the mate
rails needed for a permanent struc-
ture, while the labor of caring for cold
frames or hotbeds is often much more
than that Of the small greenhouse. In
the latter one may work with comfort
no matter what the weather may be
outside. 1t requires much more skill
to run hotbeds successfully.
Small greenhouses may be built
against the south side Of the house or
stable, Figs. l and 2, or they may be
built entirely away from other build
ings, but the shelter of larger build
lngs on the north or west will be
found of great advantage. If one has

FIRE LOSS CASE.
A. J. GIidden Of Hitchcock Wins In
Test Case From Insurance Company.

4. J. Glidden Of Hitchcock Wins In
Test Case From Insurance Company
A case Of Importance to every per-
son in South Dakota holding a fire in
surance policy was heard before Judge
Taylor in circuit court at Huron. The
case was that of D. E. Chaplin and
! he Mutual Cash Guaranty Fire Insur'
ance Co. Of Sioux Falls. Mr.. Chaplin
was Owner of a Touring mill at Hitch
cock, which he purchased from A. J.
Ilidden. The mill was burned a year
ago, and MIR. Chaplin, who held an in
surance policy in the defendant com
pany for $1,000, notified the company
Of his loss. 1t appears that in the pol
.cy is a clause which reads: Loss,
f any, payable to A. J .Glidden." Mr..
ilidden held a mortgage Of $1,000 on
he property. After the fire the insur-
ance company was notified, but de-
clined to make settlement, and thus
suit followed on the ground hat the
Oss, if any, should be paid to Mr.. Gid
len, and also for the reason that Mr..
chaplin had taken u an additional
policy in another company without the
knowledge and consent of the COM
pany at the time carrying the risk.
Mr.. Warren of Sioux Falls, counsel for
he defendant company, stated that it
vas his intention to make this a test
case for the purpose of determining
whether in the State of South Dakota
an insured party can take additional
Insurance without first obtaining the
knowledge and consent of tn ecom-
)any carrying the prior risk. A num-
yer Of witnesses were examined both
or the plaintiff and the defendant,
1T the conclusion of which two queS-
ions were submitted to the jury for
answering. The jury returned a ver-
ilct to the effect that the company
had been advised of the loss and also
If the issuance of a policy by the sec
ond company upon the property in
,ured by the defendant company, and
gave a verdict in favor of the plaintiff
or the sum of $1,000. The case will

Glazing should be done during the
summer or early fall, as putty will

In building there should be no NOR

the frame should be painted be-

feature of the small greenhouse is the

$4,000 before starting business, and
after beginning the manufacture of

ACETYLENE GAS
AS ILLUMlNANT

A reprint and revision OF bulletin
riculture OF Pennsylvania has been is
sued by the department Of chemistry
of the Pennsylvania state college, I'm,
der the authorship Of George Gilbert
Pond, Pho. The whole subject Of
calcium carbide and a~cetylene is GOV
cred most thoroughly without the use
Of technical language, and the book
contains complete and authoritative
information, so simply told that the
public generally will find the book no,
only instructive but extremely inter
esting.
The use Of %acetylene commercially
Is an evolution covering ten OF
twelve years. The rapid strides which
the new illuminant has made, espe
cially in country homes. Is making II
a formidable competitor for favor
wherever illumination is required.
The spectral analysis of the light
shows it to be a practical duplication
of sunlight, SO hat colors have their
true value when illuminated by this
brilliant gas. Recently the use OF
acetylene for the headlights of auto.
mobiles, its adoption by the govern.
ment for beacon lights. lighthouses,
forts and Indian schools, has given
acetylene new impetus.
Prof. Pond has shown that the dwell
err in the country home can secure this
excellent illumilant at a cost which
compares. to the advantage of acety-
lene, with city gas when burned in the
open fame burner costing a dollar per
1000 cubic feet.
The board of engineers Of the ma
tional board of fire underwriters have,
after a years examination of the sub
ject, declared that acetylene, when in
stalled with approved apparatus, is
safer than the illuminants which it re-
places, and the national board of fire
underwriters has revised it's rules in
such a manner as to encourage it's
more rapid introduction. Calcium car
bide, which has In some quarters been
regarded as q dangerous substance,
has been investigated and declared to
be without hazard by the fire under
writer's. These facts will come in the
nature of a great surprise to many
who have regarded a~cetylene as dan
gerous. In dealing with this phase Of
the subject, Prof. Pond has given
thorough information as to the safe
use OF acetylene and the precautions
which must be taken with this sub
stance, the same as with any other H.
luminant.
