Fatal Accident
Narrowly Averted

Charles Wyrick is congratula-
ting himself on his narrow escape
from serious if not fatal injuries.
Wednesday morning he arose
and started q fire in the kitchen
range, not knowing that the pre-
vious night had frozen the water
IN the pipes. Shortly after, the
pipes of the water back in the
stove exploded with terrific force
hurting fragments of the demol-
ished stove through the ceiling
and to all sides. Mr.. Wyrick who
was standing close by received
lacerations on the hands and
head and was attended by DR..
Hathaway. Fortunately 70 +
Mrs. Wyrick, who was engaged
in preparing breakfast, she had
entered the pantry off the kitch-
en- only a moment before, thus
escaping the possible effects OF
the explosion
During the past week frozen
water pipes occasioned consider
able annoyance and inconveni-
ence to local residents, but the
above was the only case attend
ed bv damaging results.

established in 1910 that will not
easily be surpassed.
Impatient with fhe exit of the

corked ten minutes in advance
OF the hour which marked its pas
sage. Every conceivable noise
producing device was brought in
to requisition, from the large
guage steam whistle at the San

blasts from locomotives, down
to the little 4th of July firecrack-
er. The smoke wagons" OF cr-

puncturting the steady drone OF
the whistles, played q prominent
part in the noise festival, and the
dispatch with which their con
tents were elected caused some
apprehension for the safety of
those living i'll tents. II q band
of Navajos had swooped down
on the town a half hour later, it
is doubtful if a single bulletcould
be found to contest their adj
vance. Some OF the sleeping pas
sengers on train No. = standing
here at the time, may have eXpe-
rienced the thrilling sensation OF
being possible victims of an 1nva-
sion of hostile braves. At any
rate, it is geuerally believed that
h t reception accorded 1910,
though informal, was in every
way up to approved standards,
and will stand as a record in the
noise producing industry.

Coal Famine
Imminent

AS usually happens at this time
OF year the coal supply is in in
verse ratio to the need for it.
For the past two weeks people
III the city have been clanmoring
for enough of the precious fuel to
keep their fires going5 but to lit
tie purpose. Local dealers in
turn are keeping the wires hot in
their efforts to have long stand
ing orders filled and are thor
oughly exasperated at the fulfill
ty of their demands.
A car was received during the
week but the large number of
orders on hand made it impossi-
BILE to fill even small part of
them and with Solomonic good
sense division was made by the
dealers that offorded temporary
relief to those whose needs were
most pressing. Several carloads
are reported as on the way here
but the uncertainty of the situa
tion makes it advisable for every
one to husband their fuel resources
until more is available.

AS the time arrives for little girls to

says the New York Sun. A search for

took one persistent buyer into the kitch-

saw counter full OF brOoms labelled,
''Whiskbrooms for silking corn" In
quiry brought out the information that
many housekeepers whose families are
fond Of corn on the cob have discovered
that fine whiskbroom is the best thing
