MOSQUITOES PESTER HIM;
SETS FIRE TO HIS HOUSE
Thomas Blount, Colored, More Than
Successful in Driving
Insects Away.

Thomas Blount is an elderly colored
man who resides in what was once a
perfectly good one-story house in the
rear Of 635 18th street northeast. 1t was
perfectly good until Blount tried to chase
mosquitoes out this morning by the
smudge fire method. Blount's efforts re-
suited in what is supposed to be the first
time on record a flock of mosquitoes is
responsible for a turnout of the fire de-
partment.
Blount could not sleep this morning be-
cause mosquitoes would keep coming into
his window. He had slapped them and
slapped them and slapped them, but as
fast as he would corner one little sing
ing pest the high tenor of another in
sect would come from some hitherto un-
suspected source. He tried a wet towel.
tried chasing them around the room,
tried hiding under the bed clothes, tried
mental telepathy and auto-suggestion,
but the mosquitoes bit on without fear,
seemingly not the least annoyed by the
poor reception they were receiving. So
Blount said he'd fix 'em.
He built smudge fire. Wet paper, old
clothes, riff-raff and refuse of all sorts
he piled on the floor, making a fire that
emitted smoke which seemed thick enough
to make into solid balls The mosquitoes
flew out the windows and doors and
chinks in the walls. The smoke was
terrible. Blount Is somewhat casehard-
ened himself. but he could not live in
his own smudge smoke. SO he went out
side, where the mosquitoes were waiting
for him. While he was outside the house
caught fire. Blount did not care very
much, but neighbors had a few objec-
| tions to a fire so near their own prop
| erty and sent for the fire engines.
Blount's place was damaged to the ex-
tent Of about $50.
