mrs. MOBLEY
BADLY BURNED
Accident Occurred ia Connection
With the Lighting Of .
New Lamp
ATTENDING DOCTORS
PREDICT HER DEATH
Victim Of Accident Aged II Years,
Was Formerly Camille Grub,
and Was Married to Mr.. Mob
ley About One Year Ago

Mrs Robert Mobley was frightfully
burned at the family home, No. 31sN
South Seventh street. at a few min
utes past Saturday evening. The
accident came in connection with the
lighting of a new lamp that had just
been purchased and filled. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mobley were together in the
living room. Mrs. Mobley had filled
the lamp with kerosene and had at
tempted to light it. The wick, being
dry, did not ignite. 80 the lamp was
turned upside down. and the oil was
thus allowed to drip through the
wick, and some Of 1t overflowed and
got onto the outside of the bowl.
Again the match was applied. The
blaze ran from the wick to the Oil on
the bowl, whereupon Mrs. Mobley en-
deavored to Quench the flames with
her dress. Instead Of that effort hav-
Ing the effect intended, her dress took
fire and was quickly afiame, and she
ran screaming from the house.
Into Adjoining Residence
She rushed into the residence of
MIR. Stockand adjoining, where she
fell to the floor. BY that time her
hair and eyebrows had been singled
off, while her clothing had been burn
ed to her underwear She was terri
bly, burned from head to feet, her
breast and arms suffering the most.
1t was necessary to cut her clothing
from her while it was still burning
Notwithstanding all this, she was able
to ask that her mother be notified.
Taken to St. Elizabeths
The victim was taken in a cab az
quickly as possible to st. Eliza beth
hospital, DR.. j. b. Burns summoned
and DR.. S, D. Cameron called into
consultation. The patient was placed
under the Influence of an opiate, and
her wounds dressed so she would rest
as comfortable as possible.
Mrs. Blanche Grub, mother of
Mrs. Camille Mobley, was telegraphed
to at Walla Walla, informing her of
the accident.
Mr. Mobley is an employee of Wen
ner Brothers, at the pool room. He
and his wife, the latter aged II, were
married about one year ago.
Opinion of Physicians
Drs. Burns and Cameron expressed
the opinion that the woman could
scarcely recover from her injuries
owing to the shock and to the loss of
such a large amount Of cuticle. The
former stated that it would be almost
a miracle if she recovered.

HAY GROWERS
.. GET TOGETHER
Yakima and Kittitas Farmers
Unite With Others IN q CO.
Operative Undertaking

Producers Of this section of the
Yakima valley will be greatly inter-
ested in a proposition which has been
taken up by the hay men of this and
kittitas counties together with bar
ley and oat producers of other sec
tons, in which the cooperative idea
is one of the features. The Record
of Ellensburg says:
To unite farmer and commission
man. to assure the one OF a certain
market in which to buy and the other
the best prices for produce. farmers
of the Kittitas and Yakima valleys, of
the Palouse country and the Skagit
county oat growers are considering
plans of Joining with w. w. Robin
son. the Seattle hay and grain dealer.
In a big produce company. The local
men interested are c. H. Schnebly, p.
H. Adams. George W. Snodgrass, r.
I. Jones and Lou w. Evans, who rep
resents the growers in Toppenish.
Farmers to Have Control
On the invitation of Mr.. Robinson
the ranchers made a trip to Seattle
and inspected his warehouses and
property and there met Skagit county
oat growers who are considering the
same scheme. They were informed
that IL the farmers were willing the
Robinson company would have its
capital stock increased from $4,000
to 100000 and as large a proportion
of the stock of the company as the
ranchers demanded would be sold to
the producers. Accordingly, the
farmers will be given control of the
company, If they desire it, and from
$350,00O to $25O,0O0 of the stock will
be sold. OF this amount Skagit coun-
ty ranchers are offered 100000 and
like amount Is offered the farmers
of Kittitas and Yakima Barley
growers in the Paiuuse are expected
to take at least $4,000 of the stock.
Mr.. Robinson's Plan
The plan as outlined to the farm
ers is that Mr.. Robinson will act as
manager of the company as long as
the stockholders elect him to that Of
fee. He will take and hold half of
the stock.
II have been hampered many times
in selling produce by the fact that the
SoSe ~ ooSiHS SAudfco my piolts,
said Mr.. Robinson yesterday. This
combination between myself and the
farmers will give me a certain source
of produce as farmers. while not re-
quired to do so, will preferably sell to
the company in which they own stock
and share in the profit of the middle
man. By organizing the oat growers
on the Sound with the hay growers of
Kittitas and Yakima and with the
barley and grain growers in the Pa
louise We can dominate the market"

the7quays, where now one find the boxes of the book merchants. lne first so- ciety to break away was the Beaux Arts-a revolt headed by Meissonier. The defection in 20 years has cost S30o.- 900 to the other. One of the great argu- ments for unlon Is that the extremists have sown their wild oats. and have now settled down in a comparatively constrained style. Absurdity could go no further than 1t, has gone and the wild asses of the impressionist move ment have turned back toward the old stable.
 It is true that the young men have done valuable work amidst all their extravaganza in instilling new life and new ideas into 8 platitudinous milieu but the battle has been fought and won. The new art has come to stay, and now is the moment to take a practical view of the situation. The Beaux Arts makes no money at all, and the other has lost considerable part of its reve-
 nue. Why not, therefore, fuse the two? As to the autumn and winter salons. housed likewise in the Grand Palais, they might with advantage,
 merge into one. taking into invisible partnership the humorists and the inde- pendents. Corot. Millet and Theodore Rousseaux have long ago been re- venged from their exclusion from the official salon of their day. There Is no longer any necessity to fight the fel- low artist; bigger necessity is to at tract the buying public.
