BURNS
RESULT FATALLY
Knoxville Child Threw Match Into
Keg. g. sa-'9%>

Knoxville, Sept 2.-Willie Will
fong, aged 8, died in terrible agony
at his home in the Coal Ridge neigh
borhood at $50 last night from the
effect Of burns received in a powder
explosion in which he was roasted
and burned from the feet to the
crown of his head.
The child, in company with an
elder brother, was playing in de-
serted coal mine, back in the drift
100 or $50 feet from daylight. The
lamp went out and the smaller boy
lost his cap. He lighted a match and
accidentally threw the blazing stub
into keg containing powder. The
explosion followed and the child in
some manner found his way out in
to daylight and ran nearly quar-
ter of mile to his home with his
clothes blazing from head to foot.
Doctors from Knoxville were sum-
moned and did everything in their
power to save the little sufferer but
he died about six hours after the ac-
cident.

plans Of the merchants. He wired
them to investigate the matter and
see whether they were violating the
law before going any farther, but
the drawing was held nevertheless.
Several days ago, when it became
known that the second machine
would be given away Saturday, an
other warning was issued. There
was some discussion of the abandon
ing of the drawing plan, but as
there were several thousand ticket
holders, all of whom imagined that
they might be the lucky one, no law
full manner of disposing of the car
could be agreed upon.
Lots were drawn for the second
machine. and shortly after it had
become known that Attorney Smith
was the winner steps to put the le-
gal machinery in motion were taken
in Brooklyn. .... E

INTERESTING AND
INSPIRING ADDRESS
Dr.. Chas. K. Dyer, an Armenian,
Spoke at Methodist Morning
Service.

A very interesting and inspiring
address was delivered by Dr.. Chas.
X. Dyer, medical missionary from
Armenia, at the court house Sun
day morning before the Methodist
congregation. In a most thrilling
way he told the story of his escape
from a general massacre of the Ar
menians by the unspeakable Turk,
and his efforts to fit himself in
America as a medical missionary to
his own people. To make his influ-
ence the more effective, he has be-
come an American citizen, and will
return to Armenia under the protec-
tion of the stars and stripes.
At the close of the sermon it was
announced that DR.. Dyer, assisted
by brother who has recently arriv-
ed in America, will lecture in the
court room on Friday evening at s
o'clock. Some interesting features
are promised for this lecture. among
other things Mohammedan prayer,
various forms of Oriental weddings,
and some fifteen characteristic Ori-
entail costumes. Admission will be
20 and Is cents. The speakers mes
sage yesterday morning insures him
a good audience for Friday evening.

PLANS TO RAISE APRICOT PLUM

Marshalltown, Sept. 2.-Straw-
berries for Sunday dinners on Sept.
/, were the delicacy afforded people
in this city who wanted to pay the
price, 25 cents per box. Seventy-six
boxes of ripe, luscious fruit were
marketed in this city Saturday by
Harlow Rockhill, the Vienna town
ship Burbank" who has propagat-
ed an everbearing variety. The
vines are now still full of bloom and
will produce berries till frost comes,
providing there is an occasional
rain. Rockhill has picked from his
vines 632 boxes, or thirty-nine and
one-half crates, since July IA.
Rockhill is making another inter-
esting experiment, in the shape OF
an apricot plum, that promises to be
a winner. He has taken plum
created by Professor Hanson of the
State Agricultural college of South
Dakota at Brookings, made from a
combination of the prunus simoni of
China and the South Dakota wild
plum, and hydridized the blossom
with the pollen of a large apricot.
The result is a large plum, rich in
flavor and with odor of peach,
and having pronounced apricot
flavor. The crop this year will be
used largely for planting seedlings.

GAVE AWAY AUTOMOBILES

MonteZuma, Ia., Sept. 2.-War-
rants charging forty-four merchants
and three other citizens of this
place with violations of the state
laws by conducting lottery were
served here Saturday night by
Sheriff Il. w. Smith. Other war
rants will be served within a few
days. The list of those arrested in
cludes every merchant in the city
with the exception of two or three.
The giving away of an automobile
by means of tickets given with pur-
chases and the determining Of the
ownership of the automobile by lot
Is the offense charged to the merch-
ants of this city. Through their
attorney the accused business men
today gave notice that they would
waive preliminary hearing this
week before Mayor Chase of Brook
lyn, before whom the warrants were
sworn out, and that they would be
bound. over to the grand jury, which
convenes next week.
The arrest followed a few hours
after R. J. smith, an attorney, had
drawn the number which entitled
him to the automobile. The infor-
nations were issued at Brooklyn
and placed in the hands of the
sheriff. As all of the merchants kept
open until 10 o'clock Saturday
night, there was no difficulty in
serving the warrants.
1t is probable that a more serious
charge, that of conspiracy to violate
the state laws with regard to lottery
schemes and gambling, will be
made against the accused merchants.
The investigation was made by
County Attorney Hugh NJ. Reed and
Henry e. Sampson of Des Moines, as
sistant to the attorney general.
About three months ago the
merchants of the town banded to-
gether and by subscription raised
sutfi cient money to buy two automo-
biles to be given away. Every pur-
chaser of goods in the stores in the
agreement was given a ticket with
a number upon it, These tickets
were to be reserved for a final draw
ing or lottery to determine the win
ner of the car. The first car was
given away June 26, the winner
drawing a certain number out of a
box.
This drawing was conducted in
spite of warning issued by County
Attorney Reed. who was away from
home at the time he heard OF the

Sunday resulted in the arrest OF

the extent of SASS apiece. The
names given by the men were Rib

The men were found in the midst OF
an interesting session south OF NO

1t is said that gambling has been
going on in the outskirts of the
city for some time, but though
many efforts have been made by the
police to locate the offenders. this is
the first successful coup made.

in order for any one to run a hack
to the show grounds tomorrow this
tax must first be paid. Since the Or
dinance went into effect several To-
cal autoists have visited the city
clerks office and purchased the
necessary permit. All who are in
terested and who have paid their IL
cense are in favor of the ordinance
and say that it is the only manner
in which the business may be done
with profit to those engaged in it.
In fact the cab men of the city have
been highly in favor of a: law of the
kind for some time. The reason for
this is that in the past an out of
town visitor who comes to the city
for the purpose of taking in a show,
base ball game, etc, could turn his
car or rig into a hack as soon as he
arrived and thus take the profit that
should go to local men who make a
business of carrying passengers. At
the WalIace-Hagenbeck shows which
visited the city some time ago sew
eral cases of this kind were report
ed, but the authorities could not
stop it, However, people who wish
to carry passengers in the future on
big days in Webster City, or at any
time, must first secure license
otherwise they will have fine to
pay.
