Des Moines, Feb. Fire caused

at the Paragon Refining Co., early to-
day entailed a $4,000 loss. E..'A.
Walker, night Waterman, was serious.
ly burned. The tank exploded was on
car that was standing near the IA
storage tanks which contained 10000
gallons of gasoline. Walker smelled
gasoline and held his lantern under
the tank to find the leak. Instantly
a terrific explosion occurred which
hurled him several feet. The flesh OF
his hands, face and body was scared,
but despite his injuries he staggered
to a telephone where he sounded the
alarm. Before the firemen arrived,
however, two more explosions had oc.
CURED in the tanks, three of which
were destroyed. The fire in the tanks
was so hot that the barrel house and
warehouse were ignited. The firemen
experienced great difficulty in fight
ing the flames and because of the in.
tense heat and fear of explosion, de.
voted their efforts to saving the ad.
joining buildings.

Torn Up By School Fiuht.

Union, Iowa, Feb. g. The little
town of Union, is torn up by a school
fight. A new school board has been
elected, Superintendent Carlisle has
resigned and the schools are without
head.
Recently when school district ad,
joining the town was voted into Union
making the election of new school
board necessary, two tickets were
placed in the field, one by the support
ers of Superintendent Carlisle and
the other by the opposition. The
hardest kind of a fight was put up.
The result was the election of four OF
Professor Carlisles opponents and
one of his friends.
Superintendent Carlisle resigned at
once. The new board, however. ten
dered him the position as head of the
schools for the balance of the term in
order not to interfere too seriously
with the work In the schools. Unless
two of the members of the board re.
sign, Professor Carlisle says he will
refuse to remain.
The people of Union are much eX,
cited over the situation. II Is feared
that the school, which had been plac.
cd on the states list of accredited
schools, will lose its standing.
