Too many farmers would rather
nave their path from tho kitchen or

house They think Il is for the good
OF the families that they utilize every
foot OF ground possible for the produe-
ton Of corn and other grain. but sure
~ they are therein mistaken. II IL

HATTIE SWANSON
PAYS A SIS FINE
Arrival of Trunks Tips" the
Police of Effort to Resume
Operations.

Hattie Swanson, a well known police
character and enc of the king pins
of the red light, took up her bed and
walked to the police station last night
in order to submit to a trial and the
payment of a fine amounting to $25
and costs. Hattie was served with a
warrant charging disorderly conduct
Feb. 8, but was indisposed at the time.
Since, she has been confined to her
bed.
Hattie's place was ordered out of
business by the city authorities some
time ago. Feb. 5 plain clothes men
noticed a trunk being delivered to the
Joint, and an investigation disclosed
the fact that female importation had
arrived on the scene, obviously to re-
sumo operations at the old stand. A
raid was made and the woman ordered
out of town, with a 40-day sentence
suspended over her head. She claimed
that she had merely stopped off at
Rock Island enroute for a visit with
Hattie.
A few days ago another trunk was
unloaded at the Swanson door, ar
irving from Montreal, Can. Last night
after the Swanson woman was fined
she was warned TO speed the coming
guest from the abode before any ward
robe was unpacked. A new alias was
added TO Hattie's steadily growing
collection, her monicker last nigh
being May Smith.

FLAMES REDUCE
HALL RESIDENCE
TO HEAP ASHES
Eight Women Form Bucket Bri-
gade in Absence of Men and
Fight the Fire.
MAN NEAR DEATHS DOOR
w. 3. Hall Rendered Unconscious by
Fumes Lies SenseIess In the
Burning Building.

Eight South Rock Island women
formed a bucket brigade yesterday af.
ternoon in the absence of men from
the neighborhood, and Drawing the
cold weather fought a fire which in
an hours time reduced the two-story
frame residence of w. B. Hall to ashes.
The total loss is estimated at $4,000.
and is partially covered by insurance.
Mr.. Hall narrowly escaped death,
wnen overcome by the smoke and
fumes, he lay unconscious on the floor
for several minutes, while the flames
ragged about his senseless form. Par
TALLY recovering himself, the man was
able TO stagger out of doors and give
the alarm.
ASLEEP AT TINE.
Mr.. Hall, who is employed nights
as switchman in the Burlington rail-
road yards, was sleeping when the
| fire broke out. His wife had left for
Rock Island some time before on a
shopping tour, leaving the husband
alone in the place. About $3.50 Hall
was awakened by fumes, and jump
ing out of bed rushed to the second
| floor, where the smoke was so dense
| that he was overcome by the smoke
and dropped % the floor in a stupor.
| There he lay IOr several minutes I'M
conscious. Finally regaining his fac
ulties, he was able to stagger down
stairs and out into the fresh air, where
he gave the alarm. Every man in
| the neighborhood was away at work,
and it devolved the women to fight the
| flames.
| WOMEN TO RESCUE.
| Eight house wives rushed to the
spot and forming a bucket brigade, at
| tempted to check the flames which
| had by this time gained great head
way, famed by southwest gale. See
| ing that there was no chance to save
the building, the women rushed into
the burning rooms and carried out
practically every bit of furniture and
household effects, including a heavy
piano.
The chattels saved, the band of fe'
mae fire fighters we're compelled to
stand idly by and watch the flames
devour the abode. Just one hour after
the fire had been discovered, the walls
collapsed and there remained nothing
but a heap of glowing embers.
DEFECTIVE FLUE CAUSE.
The fire started in the attic over
the kitchen, and it is believed thai
a defective fiue was the cause. Mrs
Hall was apprised of the fact that
her home was burned, as she was
boarding a Watch Tower car at
O'Clock, preparatory to beginning the
homeward journey. Mr.. and Mrs. Hal
have moved their household effects
into a structure just east of theil
old home. which is situated at the
corner Of Eleventh and Braser streets
Their loss will not exceed 800. The
building itself was owned by c. c
Wilson of this city.

The lad gained access to the coal
Office, which is located just one door
east of the Hotel Harms on First
avenue, by breaking a window glass
just above the scales. Squeezing his
body through this narrow aperture
he opened the side door as a means
OF escape in case of an emergency, and
then tapped the cash register.
The return of Mr.. Lamont at
o'clock interrupted the work. The
boy evidently lost his head, and miss

behind another door in the back room
where he was crouching in a corner
when discovered by the proprietor.
