FORMER CHESWOLD MAN
HURT IN BOILER EXPLOSION
WILLIAM BOYD AND TWO COL
ORED MEN NEARLY LOSE LIVES
Near Little Greek While Threshing
Wheat-Boiler in Some Manner
Explodes and Goes to Pieces


Three persons were badly hurt,
one probably fatally, when the boiler
of a threshing engine exploded,
about 10. 80 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, on the Misses Wards farm,
near Little Creek. The injured are
as follows: William Boyd of Dover,
formerly of Cheswold, and recently
in charge of the moving picture
show in Smyrna. He was scslded
about the face and eyes. Being
treated at his home. Samuel Loaf,
cOlored, of Dover scalded and
right eye badly cut, as a result of
which he will probably lose the
sight of that eye. His shoulder was
also injured. Being treated at his
residence. Elmer Harris. colored,
18 years old of Lockwood; face and
head mutilated and otherwise in
jured; not expected to recover; sent
to Wilmington hospital. The thresh-
ing machine and boiler which ex-
ploded were owned by Mr.. Boyd,
who was threshing wheat for Edward
Pardee, the tenant of the farm,
which is located on the Cowgill's
Corner Road about two miles from
Little Greek. The explosion oc-
cured without warning. except what
is known as the safety plug first
blew out. The boiler was torn
asunder and fragments were hurled
in every direction, striking all of
those whose names are given above.
The fire under the boiler was also
scattered and ignited an out-building
a short distance from where the
machine had been working, but the
blaze was extinguished without
serious damage by men on the farm
and neighbors. Immediately after
the explosion a message was sent
to Little Creek, the nearest town,
for DR.. G. H. Riggin, who hurried.
ly responded. On his advice, after
temporary treatment had been ad-
ministered, all of the patients were
taken in an automobile to Dover,
where they were taken to the oper.
ating room at DR.. John W. James
office. Later all were sent TO theil
homes, with the exception of Har.
ris. who was taken care of at DR..
James office until he could be SEM
to Wilmington on the 2.O6 train,
his condition being such that hospi
tai treatment was deemed necessary,
there being very little hope of saw
ing his life otherwise. While ser
iously hurt, Mr.. Boyd was able t,
talk after he was brought to Dover
He expressed the belief that tn
explosion was due to the water &C
cidentally becoming low in tn
boiler. Harris was the engineer
but the detail of keeping up tn,
water was looked after by anothe
person. Mr.. Boyd wss nearly blinde
by the steam. He is under tn
care of Drs. Riggin and James

AFTER all the republican dele
gates from the various counties
OF Idaho have been chosen and
after they have met at Lewiston
and in their turn selected eight
delegates to the republican
national convention, pledged to
President Taft, the question will
still be unanswered: "Who is
thu choice of the majority of the
republican voters OF Idaho?" 1t
will be the same in every other
state where the choice OF dele
gates is left to a few men instead
OF to the rank and file-the
whole electorate OF the party.
Genuine popular government
extends to and includes direct
nominations, and the time is
coming when the people will de-
mand a national statute or
state laws legalizing their abso-
Lutte right to choose the candi
dates they want placed on the
tickets, as we'll as those they
want put in Office. Like MANY
other states Idaho has no presi-
DENTAL preference primary law,
and, until such a law is enacted
the present unsatisfactory
method OF nominating a presi-
dent must be used.

MAY AID STATE
IN POISON CASE
Counsel of Mrs. ciccone Will
Try to Fix Crime Upon
Fioro.

The peculiar situation of the prose-
cutor and the counsel for one of the
defendants in murder trial being
arrayed against the counsel for the
other defendant will probably be seen
in the Ciccone murder trial, the date
for which has not been decided upon
as yet. Prosecutor Mott and Chief
Justice Gummere had a conference
concerning the procedure of the trial
today, but no date was agreed upon.
Prosecutor Mott said the two de-
PENDANTS could be tried together il he
so chooses, just as in the case of the
gunmen in the Becker trial in New
York. If separately. Mrs. Ciccone will
have to be tried first.
Mrs. Madeline Ciccone and Antonio
Fiore are jointly indicted for the MIR
der of Leonardo Ciccone. the womans
husband, on March last. Mrs. Cic-
cone has confessed that she gave her
husband the poison which4killed him
at the direction of Fiore.
Frank M. McDermit has been as
signed by the State to represent Mrs.
Ciccone. while Frank e. Bradner will
act in like capacity for Fiore, 1t is
probable, therefore, that Mr.. McDer-
nit, in order TO have his client let
down as easily as possible, win join
with Prosecutor Mott in trying to
bring about the conviction Of Fiore.
