PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES USED
TO PREVENT SMUT EXPLOSIONS

some cases the sprinkling system was
connected below the water line of the
team boiler and in others with pres
sure tank containing from 40 to so gal
Ions of water.
j. n. Andrews, near Lacrosse, has
his machine equipped with a sprinkler
system of n inch pipe distributed above
the straw racks and connected with the
blowof of the engine. Mr.. Andrews
extinguished an explosion fire in a
wooden separator, and was threshing
again within 20 minutes, the machine
suffering practically no damage.
Henry Hickman, who last year suf
fered two disastrous explosion fires,
equipped his third machine with a
sprinkler system, connected to a 40-gal-
Ion pressure tank, with 604pound pres
sure. He had six explosion fires after
fires after the system was installed,
and extinguihed them all with no dam
age to the machine. ~ tat
. The experts visited machine on the
farm of E. ID. Paul, near 9Penewawa, in
which the moving parts had all been
coupled with electric wires, the current
from which was carried through con-
denser and thence into the ground.
This machine last year, ,owith the same
equipment, threshed 451 days in all
kinds aof grain and weather without
any explosion Ed Shoemaker, who has
charge of the .maehine,1 demonstrated
the equipment for the benefit of the in
yestigators, showing the, current that
was taken off from the machine and
calling attention to electric sparks
nearly half an inch in length. The cur.
rent generated by this separator and
carried into the ground, was, in the
opinion of the experts, sufficient to
have fired mixture of smut and air
In summarizing the findings of the
investigators during the past few days
in regard to precautionary measures
now in use, Professor O. L. Waller said:

BY THRESHERS OF PALoUSE
SECTION.

Several threshing machines of the
lower country have gone up in smoke
on account of so called smut explosions
or some cause unknown according to the
news that have been published. There
is the cry of and belief in the fires be-
ing the result of incendiarism from some
quarters. The belief is quite general
however that smut or dust explosions
have been the principal cause. In the
line of prevention of such losses the
precautions taken to save separators

the per cent of smut this year is not SO

been considerable number of smut ex-

Deputy State Game Warden J. j.
Keane, who has been making tour of
his north Idaho district, arrived in
Grangeville last Thursday evening. He
stated that his official duties were not
burdened with difficulties as there have
been few cases of violations of the
game laws. His Investigations have
been made along the line of reports
which have been circulating that there
was considerable violation of the law in
respect of shooting birds out of season

assertion.

w. A. CLEAR AND AUGUST WITT
ARREsTED-CLEAR HELD,
WITT DISCHARGED.
PROSECUTOR IS KEPT BUSY
Ray Prettyman Cleared Of Larceny
Charge-Horace Mitchell Released
on Request Of Prosecuting Witness.

w. A. Clear, harvest hand, was ar
rested in Cottonwood last Thursday and
brought to Grangeville to be placed in
Jail by Constable Carl Fetters Of Cotton
wood. The accused was taken over to
Cottonwood Saturday by Deputy
Sheriff VIM. Eller to arrange for the
preliminary hearing.
Clear was indicated jointly with
August Witt another harvest hand and
the facts brought out at the prei-
minary showed that Clear arrived in
Cottonwood on or about Wednesday
l1th looking for work. On the follow
ing day he was drinking and went into
Ray MIN 3 saloon and presented
check for $40 to the bartender, profess
George Wright. The bartender not be-
ing acquainted refused the check and
later when Minis came in he took the
check after defendant endorsed it and
went over to the bank where the same
was pronounced IA forgery the name
Nuxoll, on the check, being spelled with
two IFS when Nuxol spells his name
with one l.
The defendant was shortly afterwards
placed under arrest and held to answer
to the charge of forgery. The charge
was lodged against Clear and Witt
jointly but Witt was later discharged
by reason of the want of evidence to
show guilt on his part. The hearing
was held at Cottonwood before Justice
of the peace B. L. Hussman and the
bond of Clear was fixed at $500 which
he has been unable to furnish as yet,
being stranger in these parts. It is
thought that some others are implicated
in the affair and this is now being in
vestigated by Prosecutor Hattabaugh.
Prettyman Discharged.
Last Friday at the hearing of Ray
Prettyman of Sites, arrested some time
ago ON charge of petty larceny of
goods from a ear down at Sites, the
defendant was discharged, evidence be-
ing introduced on his behalf proving an
alibi and showing that the defendant
was not in Sites on the night the rob-
berry was alleged to have been COM
mitted and the only time the robbery
could have been committed.
Horace Mitchell Released.
Horace Mitchell, who was arrested
recently on charge of grand larceny
of horse claimed by Earl Hammil Of
Ferdinand, upon request of the prosecut-
ing witness has been released and dis
charged from custody. 1t developed,
when both parties had conversation
together, that they both had a belief
that they owned the horse which had
been running in pasture for nearly a
year At any rate after the matter
) was gone over carefully 1t was decided
that it would be necessary to test out
the matter of ownership and the horse
was turned over to Earl Hammil and
later a civil action in replevin may be
brought by Mitchell to ascertain the
ownership. There was very little evi-
! denee that Mitchell appropriated the
! horse feloniously and his belief in the
+ ownership was honest Mitchell went
to work in the harvest field after he
, was released.
