Mysterious Explosion Destroys the
Farmhouse Of Isaac Smith,
Near Maxwell.
THE CAUSE NOT EXPLAINED
House Consumed Quickly and No
Opportunity for Investiga-
ton Afforded.

MdAWSli, ld., req. lU.-71 Nee
children were burned to death, one
man received injuries from which
he cannot recover and woman was
hurt seriously last night in mys-
terious explosion which destroyed
the home of Isaac Smith, six miles
northeast Of Maxwell.
One Of the dead children is the
12-year-old son Of Mr.. lSmith and the
other two, aged and years, are
children Of his daughter, Mrs. Payne
Hickman. Mr. Smith received burns
that are expected to result in his
death and his daughter suffered Sc
we're cuts in leaping from a window
An infant child Of Mr.. and Mrs
Hickman was saved from the fire by
George Coughenor, a neighbor, who
was passing the home at the time Of
the explosion. Other neighbors
came promptly. but the home was
consumed within short time.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Shortly after o'clock, when the
children were in bed and Mr.. Smith
and his daughter, Mrs. Payne and
her husband, were together in the
living room, there was terrific ex-
plosion and almost at once the en-
tire house was enveloped in flames.
Mr.. Coughenour, who was pass
ing, heard the explosion and rushed
to the aid of the family. He rescu-
ed the baby and with others started
a search Of the house, which liter
ally was filled with fire. Almost at
the risk Of their lives they made
their way through the flames to the
bedroom occupied by the children.
The beds were empty and while
the screams Of the little ones could
be heard in a nearby room, the res
cuers were unable to reach the door.
The men were driven from the house
by the fire.
Smith, who made a final attempt
to rescue his son and grandchildren.
received burns from which recovery
is not thought possible. Mrs. Hick-
man jumped through the window,
receiving severe cuts. Her injuries,
added to the shock of the tragic
death Of her children, have made
her condition serious.
Mr.. Smith and his son and the
Hickman family lived together in
Mr.. Smiths home six miles north
east OF Maxwell. Mr.. Smiths wife
died last spring and since that time
the Kickmans have been sharing his
home.
There has been no opportunity to
explain the mysterious explosion
with which the fire originated. An
investigation will be conducted as
soon as the fire dies away enough
to permit an examination of the
ruins, but 1t is feared all traces OF
the cause have been removed by the
flames.
The family Is respected in the
community and there is little reason
to suspect foul play.

Webster Woman Pleads Guilty and
Judge Imposes Greatest
Penalty.
A WOMAN
Extorted $1,000 on Promise That It
Would Grow Into a
Million.

Des Moines, Feb. 1O.-Anna Web
ster, a woman who posed as clair
voyant, and was indicted by the
grand jury for obtaining money by
false pretenses, must spend seven
years in the state reformatory at
Anamosa.
The woman pleaded guilty to the
charge before Judge Brennan in the
district court yesterday afternoon.
The sentence imposed was the limit
allowed by law.
Evidence secured by the grand
jury showed that the Webster wom-
an, while posing as clairvoyant.
worked upon the mind Of Johanna
Aschen, a widow with five children
to support, inducing her to mort
gage her home and her furniture
for $1,000, which she turned over
to the clairvoyant. She Is alleged to
have told the woman that she could
communicate with the spirits. she
could see money in the ground
which was coming to Mrs. Aschen
from distant relatives, and If she
would secure all the money possible
for her to work on she could get this
money from the spirits and that it
would amount to s1.000,00O
After Mrs. Aschen had paid over
the $1,000 1t is claimed that the
clairvoyant induced her to secure
more, and when she attempted to
extort an additional 500 the atten-
tion of the authorities was directed
to the case.
An indictment was returned
against the clairvoyant several
weeks ago. She appeared before
Judge Brennan yesterday afternoon
and offered to plead guilty to the
charge IL the court would promise
her some leniency. Judge Brennan
is said to have declared that he
would show absolutely no leniency
whatever on a mere plea of guilty,
but II the woman would return to
Mrs. Aschen all the money that she
had taken from her, he let 1t be
known that it would make some Diff
ference In the number OF years she
would be sentenced to the reforma-
tory.
1t Is understood that the clairvoy-
ant refused to make an effort to So
cure the money, and then threw her
self on the mercy Of the court, with
the result that she was given the
maximum sentence.
The clairvoyant was turned over
to Sheriff Ness, who will take her
to Anamosa today or Monday.

Some May Adhere to Original n

Strike.

Davenport, Feb. 8.-A movement
has been started among the employees
of the Rock Island arsenal to favor
the acceptance of the Taylor job
cards under protest until the com
mittee OF congress appointed to In
vestigate the system shall report. It
is said that this announcement will
follow a conference between COM
mittee appointed for the purpose

officer.
II the report Of the congressional
committee condemns the Taylor sys-
tenn the employees feel that thea
they will be justified in refusing -
use the cards. II. however, the corr
mittee fails to uphold their conten-
tions and they have been discharged
for cause they would have consider
able difficulty In getting around the
civil service rule which prevents any
one so discharged from being reem-
ployed at the arsenal.
1t Is probable that this stand win
be taken by large number OF tho
lemployes. although some may adhere
to their original determination to
strike II the cards are issued. A
large percentage Of the arsenal
workmen are men who have been
in the employ Of the government for
twenty, twenty-five and thirty years
or even longer, and are property
owners In the tri-cities. Employ
ment at the arsenal has been coz

Greene county was given by the
jury in the case of w. G. Pooley of
Jefferson against o. J.. Dutton and
wife of Grand Junction, the amount
being for $4,000 in favor of the
plaintiff.
Pooley and Pauline Dutton, the
daughter of the defendants, were
married in Des Moines by the Rev.
r. n. Bell on July 80. 1910, against
the wishes of the father and mother
Of the bride, and Pooley claims that
Immediately thereafter the buttons
began to try and ALLEVIATE the af-
fections of his wife, and that in
March, 1911, they had succeeded so
that his wife finally left him and
he was sent away from the Dutton
home in Grand Junction when he
went there to get her return to him.
The case has occupied the time of
the district court for more than a
week and the jury returned the YER
dict after a deliberation of only two
and one-half hours.
The couple was married three
years ago in Des Moines, against the
wishes of the parents Of the young
woman. who are among the most
prominent residents of Grand juno
uon. Mr.. Dutton is banker and Is
influential in the community.
Pooley was his own principal
witness, and was on the stand some
time, several days being occupied in
telling his story. He declared his
wife's mother was especially active
In the efforts to separate the young
couple. even addressing letters to his
wife as miss Pauline Dutton," and
in other ways indicating her un-
willingness to recognize the mar
riage.
He was followed by Mrs. Daw-
son Of Des Moines, a detective,
whom he had employed to gain the
confidence of the buttons. Mrs.
Dawson related conversations she
had overheard in the home, intend
ed to bring about estrangement. An
other woman witness said Mrs. Dut-
ton had said she would do her best
20 ArooH IN tho homa a
The petite young wife, Mrs.
Pooley, was the first and principal
witness for the defense. She declar-
ed she had not been Influenced by
any activity on the part Of her
mother. and that she still cared for
her husband. During the course Of
her time on the witness stand she
told of a proposal Of her husband
that they go to Reno, where he
could be nearer the center OF gamb-
ling activities. He planned to make
their expenses by playing cards on
the way, and expected her to use her
charms to beguile travellers into the
game.
At one time during the progress
of the case, efforts were made to Sc
cure q compromise, but Pooley in
sisted on receiving $4,000. which
the defense refused to give.
The trial attracted large crowds
at each session, both on account OF
the prominence of the persons in
volved and of the expectation of sem
sationaI evidence. Pooley asked
$4,000.
