SLEEPS IN BURNING BED
Henry Freeman Awakes and Finds
Self Among Flames.

Fire broke out in one of the sleep
ing rooms over the Crescent restaur-
ant at about 1 o'clock this morning,
and when Henry Freeman, the occu-
pant of the room, was awakened, the
bed on which he silent was in flames
and the room was filled with smoke.
He leaped to the floor and CROPPED
his way along the wall until he came
to the door when he passed into the
hall and turned on the lights. He then
returned to the room, and in attempt
ing to gather up the burning bedding,
received some severe burns on his
arms.
Policeman Arthur Whitener rushed
up into the building and seized the
burning mattress and threw it out of
the window on to the sidewalk.
Mr.. Freeman's trousers which were
left hanging at the foot of the bed
We're completely destroyed.
The fire department was called out
but the flames were extinguished be-
fore their arrival.

DEAD MANS, SUIT IS -,
COMING Up IN COURT

William Gregory of Chaffee, sum-
nloned to testify in the case of Logs
den VS.. the Frisco Railway Co., in the

BUNKO MAN TAKES
TRAPPERS BOOTS
Thief Takes Rubber to Try Them
on and Never Comes
Back.

James Pratt, a resident of South
Cape, was the victim of two willy
strangers who met him near the
freight depot yesterday morning, and
buncoed him out of pair of hip rub
Der boots which he valued at $3.50.
Pratt is hunter and trapper, oper-
ating in the timbered swamp lands
south of this city. He has met with
poor success since the season opened
this year, and becoming discouraged,
concluded to dispose of his equipment
and had started to town to sell his
boots.
When he reached the freight depot
he was approached by two men, one
of whom asked him if he cared to sell
the boots. He replied in the affirrna-
tive, and the prospective purchaser
took them and advised Mr.. Pratt that
r. would step behind pile of stonN
and Try them on, and if they fit he
would buy them at the price offered.
He then disappeared while his COM
panion remained and engaged the old
trapper in conversation. After con-
siderable time had elapsed Mr.. Pratt
became suspicious and began search
for the party who had taken his boots.
Passing around the obstructing pile
Of stone, he could find no one, and
while he was conducting his investiga-
ton the second stranger also disap-
peared.
Policeman Jeff Hutson was sum-
moned by telephone, and when he
rived he rounded up a, number of
strangers who have been maintaining
a camp on the river bank near the
freight depot for several days, but the
gullible trapper was unable to iden-
tify any of them, and a careful search
of the vicinity failed to reveal his lost
property.
No arrests were made, but before
leaving the scene, Officer Hutson IS
sued orders that camp be broken at
once, and that the members depart
without delay. His instructions were
accepted without question, and all
that now remains of what was once
a well attended "hoboes' rest" are
some scattered tin cans and the char
red remains of an abandoned camp
