Twelve Year Old Howard Charbaek
Taken to Hospital This Morning
Screaming in Agony.
Tried to Start Fire With Gasoline
and Explosion Fired His Clothes
and the Kitchen.
Called For Mother Who Was Fatally
Injured in Blaze In Virginia
Three Years Ago.

Screaming with the pain Of burns
on his head, face, arms and chest,
Howard Charback was taken to the
St. Anthony hospital this morning
after having been rescued from the
porch over the Matt Heffner saloon
by Jack Hillary. The boy was bad
" burned in fire which Quilted the
kitchen and dining room of the Heff-
ner apartments, over the saloon ct
the corner Of Fourth and Minnesota,
at 7:45 this morning. -. ~.
Charback tried to start the kitch-
en- fire with some gasoline and while
pouring it in the stove spilled some
on his clothes. When he touched .
match, the mixture OF gasoline and
air exploded setting fire to the kitch-
en- and making a torch of his satur-
ated clothes. He ran screaming to
the bed room of his aunt, Mrs. HeR-
ner, and shee burned her right hand
and arm severely before she had ex-
tinguished the flames from his
clothes. .a- .af--
In the mean time the fire had
spread to the dining room and thick
smoke was pouring through the dat.
Fireman came from the city hall aud
soon had water on the blaze and q
ladder was raised to the porch where
the injured boy huddled. Jack Hill
ably carried him down and wrapped
in a blanket hesswas% rtshed 10 the
hospital in the Swift delivery Wag-
on. - ~, x7a.I s,:.s j
At the hospital he pleaded with
the doctor to put him to sleep so
that he would not feel his burns or
to kill him so that he could go to
Heaven and find his mother. Doc
tors say that nearly one-third of tho
boys body is burned but that he will
probably recover.
The fire ruined the furnishings OF
the Hoffner kitchen and dining room
and damaged the building, owned by
the Bemidji Brewing company about
$500.
The explosion blew the bottom out
of the gasoline can and lifted the
lids from the stove and blew out
the stove pipes. Firemen had some
trouble with the hydrant at the city
hall corner as it was frozen.
The insurance on the Heflner
furnishings ran out yesterday noon
and was not renewed. =

Mounted and foot police were eve

thousand patrolmen and 100 mount

were hidden in convenient court
yards ready to pounce on suffrag ettes
who attempted to break the peace:

/ After the speakers ruling it was
only a question whether the cabinet
would announce its capitulation be-
fore or after the vote had been taken
ON Sir Edward Grey's amendment.
The amendment called for the omis-
sion of the word male" and thus
practically introduced adult suffrage.

SAYS TO FEED POTATOES
A.. T.. Nelson Advises Farmers to Con.
vert Root Crops Into Pork in
Present State of the Market
WILL BRING $50 PER BUsHE1

A. r.. Nelson, agricultural instruc-
tor at the High school, has written
the following open letter tosthe
farmers Of
"The farmer who has a lot of po-
tatoes on hand should by all means
try to: convert his crop into pork as
it seems that the potatoes will not
rise to any great price this year.
With grain and potatoes their pres
ent price, the greater part of the hog
feed should be potatoes. -. 3.z*=
with potatoes at $.25 per bushel,
one should be able to realize from
forty to sixty cents FER bushel in the
form of pork; also the potatoes, after
being fed to hogs, can be delivered
to market at much less expense and
in much less time. The manure will
be kept on the farm and makes good
fertilizer.
'1f one does not have a feed cook
err, fill the wash boiler with potatoes
and put them on the back of the
stove when the fire is started in the
morning. They can cook while
breakfast is, being prepared.
Sin case farmer owns cooker it
is a good idea to set it up in the
hen house and take the morning
chill and frost out of the house with
the same fire that boils the potatoes.
Usually a hen house does not need a
fire but it does no harm to warm it
a little in the morning and in this
way, the hen house is heated at no
additional expense.
"After the potatoes have been
boiled, they should be mashed, and q
little bran, shorts or cracked corn
should be added. The amount of grain
one should add will depend on the
haste with which they must be pre-
pared for market.
Potatoes do not fit hogs for mar
ket as quickly as grain but they will
do it cheaper and with the present
cost of grain and potatoes, one can
well afford to lengthen out the fat
tening process
