Reunion at the Did Home
in Indiana

LaSalle, April 12.-Mrs. James
Beattie, who was badly injured
when gasoline ignited in her kit
chen yesterday, is recovering as
rapidly as could be expected. She
is quite badly burned on the face,
hands and arms and Miss Bessie
.Beattie, who was burned somewhat
on the arms and hands at the
same time, is much better this
morning.
The two women fought the flames
with the aid of Miss Susie Beattie,
a trained nurse, and prevented the
house from burning down. Miss
Susie Beattie, the elder daughter,
is recovering from an operation for
appendicitis but showed rare pres
ence of mind In prompt assistance.
The FIRE originated when a garment
cleaned with gasoline ignited from
friction During the excitement
and while the room was filled with
names Miss Susie Beattie thought
sof the gasoline stove with its tanl
of fluid and managed to pull it ou
,of doors.
Unless Mrs. Beattie is able II

ONION CROP
IS PLANNED
NEAR WINDSOR
Several Varieties OF Profitable Vege-
tables Will Re Tried BY
the Farmers

Windsor, April 12.-Farmers
here will try their luck this year at
growing onions especially on the
bottom land along the river. This
is particularly adapted for the onion
crop and the yellow and red globe
variety will be generally planted.
The acreage per farmer will not be
large but probably 800 acres will
be grown in the Windsor and ad-
joining district. Last year the
onion crop failed to make a good
stand because of dry weather and
the year previous it was taken by
insects It is thought the insect
pests will not bother the crop thfi
season and the ground is in fine
shape for planting. Frank Lay.
bourn has rented 3h acres from
the Sugar company farm and II
busy at work planting. A maj
used to the business can plant two
acres of seed per day. There nevel
has been an over supply of onion
on the fall market and In pas
years onions have been almost a
valuable as gold nuggets to tn
grower bringing in the best payinl
crop in the district. II the grove
harvests 200 sacks to the acre h
makes good money.

The money was handed to County
Treasurer yesterday afternoon in
two amounts. Former county com
missioner II. W. DeVinny paid IN
$2,16O and Frank Peterson, former
clerk OF the board Of county com
missiOners turned over $500.
In both cases, 1t Is understood.
the money is said to have been given
them by c. u. Sheely. the bridge
contractor, directly. The state
ments made to District Attorney
Carlson by the two men returning
the money is to the effect that 1t
was given them in consideration OF
certain acts Of the hoard OF county
commissioners favoring MIR. Sheely's
contracts.
These restitutiOns came following
all sorts of rumors that have been
going around to the effect that the
district attorney was working TO
get some Of the county losses hack.
Some Of the stories became ugly and
it was said that the district attorney
was negotiating with the idea Of
compromise on the prosecution OF
@. G. Sheely. Overtures had been
made, said the rumOrs, looking to
the return OF &S3. 900 to the county
of Weld by MIR. Sheely, IL certain
promises were made by the prose-
cution. Included in the general
stories statements were made that IL
certain resolutions to the county |
were made, immunity baths would
be given.
PETERSON ACTS UNEXPECT.
EDLY
The return Of the money by Pc
tersOn was entirely unexpected. as
there was no evidence to indicate
that he had profited in the con-
tracts made by the county. The in
dictment returned against him by
the grand jury was dismissed under
the statute Of limitations. 1t Alleg-
ed perjury in placing his jurat upon
warrants when the person to whom
the warrant was payable did not

attorney and rendered his
