VERMILLlON MAN DIES
AS RESULT OF BURNS.

Vermilion, S. D., March 31.-Al Con-
row, a well known character of Yer
million and vicinity, died yesterday
from blood poisoning, the result of Sc
we're burns that he received in a fire
that destroyed the George Ruff house
on Thursday morning, March II. Con-
row was sleeping with Ruff when the
fire started, but was unable to get
away without severely burning his
hands. He managed to get outside the
burning building but fell there upon
the ground. His companion tried to
get him farther away and took hold of
his hands to do so. In this way the
flesh and nails slipped from Conrow's
hands when Ruff grabbed them. Con-
row was in very poor physical condi-
ton and blood poisoning set in in the,
mutilated hands, resulting in the
death.

In the case of a crane fine results
are claimed for broken leg. Its slender
limb is no thicker thai a led pencil.
Instead of destroying the poor bird, an
English expert decided to try to save
leg and life. Linen bandages dipped IN
gum were put on These set satisfac-
torily and weighed little or nothing.
After this the intelligent bird kept 10
itself and needed no further attention
for a few weeks. When the b%andage
was cut away the leg worked as well
as ever, slightly deformed. Some
naturalists say that birds breaking
their legs set them themselves, using a
sticky mud and weeds or grass for
bandage.

However, the bankers recently had a

plowed, when he picked n UP
and found it sound and good. He
then gathered I'VE a bushel of
the new crop and they have been
on exhibition in one of the local
stores since. Mr.. Kranz explains
the phenomena by the fact that
the entire garden had lain under
a deep snow drift all winter,
which had kept the frost out of
the ground. From the little po-
tatoes discarded in the digging
last fall the garden was self
sown, and under the warm blan-
ket of snow the crop of e po-
tatoes had developed.
