LEAVES COAL OIL ON STOVE.
Pretty German Girl Pays Penalty
With Her Life.

Ottawa, Kan, June 1S.-With her
whole body scared, her eyes burned
out and her hair gone as the result Of
a coal oil explosion, Philapena Mente,
19-year-old German girl who came
from the old country only three weeks
ago to make her home with her sister,
Mrs. Andre Rachoe, is dead of her in
juries.
The explosion occurred after the
girl had kindled the kitchen fire with
kerosene and left the 2-gallon can
on the stove and had gone back into
another room to finish dressing. Just
as she opened the door to re-enter
the kitchen. the oil exploded, delug-
ing her with flame, and setting fire to
the house. With a shrek the girl
rushed out of the house. Jacob
Rachoe, who was sleeping in a bed
room off the kitchen, awakened by
her cries. rushed to the door and
threw it open. He was met by blast
of flame and jumped backward and
through window.
By the time he reached the girl
and began tearing off her burning
garments his brother had rushed for
the garden hose and was playing a
stream Of water over the screaming
girl. Finally through their combined
efforts, the flames were xtinguished.
Sinking to a half reclining position on
the ground, the girl, now entirely
naked, continued to shrek until
crowds of the neighbors began to ar
rive. She died in local hospital.

Girl Who Left Suicide Note Now in
Sheriff'S Custody.

I'll marry him. I'll do anything in the
world to get him out of trouble
Fourteen-year-ol Lily Lopez, re-
Ginning, in negligee costume, on a
couch in an ante-room of the sheriff's
residence, glanced up at the reporter
in surprise that he could possibly
question her willingness to marry
Samuel Brown, the young man with
whom she had been arrested at Coun-
ell Grove.
The clipping Appanoose young cou-
pie. Samuel Brown and Lilly Lopez,
on orders from Sheriff Latimer. Of
ficer Latimer went after them and
returned last night having both in
custody. Brown was placed in the
prison proper, and Miss Loper was
taken to the sheriffs residence.
Brown and Miss Lopez left her
home in Appanoose Monday morning
in a buggy owned by Brown. Miss
Lopez had left a, note to her mother
stating that her body would be found
in the creek. They drove, by devious
ways, to Council Grove, a distance of
100 miles, where they stopped at a
hotel one night. They were detected
by Browns efforts to sell his team of
ponies, and were taken into custody
by local officers.
"I left home because my mother
abused me-" said Miss Lopez to a re-
porter. 1.-The morning that / left she

President Resigns Because Treasurer
Refuses to Honor Check.

Hutchinson, Kan, June 13.-The
members of the Anti-Horse Thief as
ISOLATION will meet here Wednesday
night to elect a president. L. S. Kent,
who has been president for some time,
filed his resignation with the officers
of the lodge recently.
President Kent presented his resig-
nation on account of a controversy
which has come up in the lodge since
the capture of Hiney Bowers for the
murder of Tom Fowler. President
Kent and the members of the audit
ing committee are unable to agree on
the amount of money that was spent
in running down the murderer.
Kent handled all the funds but did
not keep a detailed statement of the
expenses. 1t is not believed that ne
has misappropriated any of the mon
ey but that he has failed to keep his
expenses correctly and is unable to
account for all of the money that was
received.
that was seen yesterday, the sum of
$3,141 was received and President
Kent asserts that the expenses
amounted to about $500.
An alteration resulted between
President Kent and Howard B. Payne,
the financial secretary when the lat
ter refused to issue check in favor
had been used in sending out circular
letters. Mr.. Payne refused to issue
the check until Mr.. Kent presented
warrant from the lodge and Kent
claims, that he as president had
authority to order the checks issued.
Kent's resignation has not been acted
on and ahe is recognized as president
of the order and will be until Wednes-
day night, when the matter will be
taken I'D for consideration,

FISH STOPS FIRE FIGHT.
Barn Burns While F1remen Wonder
What Ais Hose.

Leavenworth, Kan. June 1S.-Be-
tween the misinterpretation of an
alarm at fire headquarters and the
clogging of hose nozzle by the body
of fish, a barn suffered $500 dam
ago by fire.
The firemen blame a telephone op-
orator, while Miss Operator is quite as
certain the blunder was made at the
headquarters end of the line
When everything was ready for ac-
ton at the fire and a nozzle was
turned on, although the water was
on full force, not a drop would squirt.
They wiggled the business by whichthe
size of stream ordinarily is governed,
but there was nothing doing. There
fore, the nozzle was unscrewed after
the water had been turned off and
replaced by another, after which
short work was made of the flames.
Not until after the return of the
firemen to their stations was it dis
covered that well developed fish
clogged the nozzle which gave the
trouble. With difficulty It was de-
moved, after which the nozzle was
quite as good as new.
