j. P. Martin Injured

]. P. Martin was seriously
injured while watching the Be-
lin fire last evening. With a
number of others, Mr.. Martin
was sitting on pile of lumber
in the railroad yards watching
the fire when tall pile of grain
door lumber next to the pile
where he was sitting started to
topple over. The crowd yelled
to the men to jump and all of
them got away except Mr.. Mar
tin who v as pinioned under the
pile. Willing hands soon ex-
tracted him and he was taken
to the Heise hospital where it
was found one of his legs was
broken above the ankle, his face
badly cut and his body terribly
bruised. His injuries we're
taken care of by the physicians
and later he was taken home
where he is suffering consider
able pain today but is getting
along as we'll as could be ex-
pected. That his injuries were
not fatal is a miracle as the
lumber weighed many hundreds
of pounds and he was pinioned
under the entire mass.

Mo. Valley Protects
Her Widows

A large and enthusiastic
audience followed the interest
ing technicalities of the Mock
Court Trial in the form of q
Breach of Promise case last
night at the K. of c. hall, where
Miss Sayde Briggs, as Mrs.
Jerusha R. Perkins, brought
suit against DR.. A. H. Konig-
macher for damage received
both from a broken promise
and the shattered dreams of a
happy future.
His Honor, Judge Thomas
Arthur of Logan, presided and
delighted all by his magnetic
personality and droll humor.
c. w. Kellogg, Esq, and Col
A. V. Newton of Worcester,
Mass, competent counsels for
the defendant and plaintiff,
pleaded for their clients so sim
cerely that the people could
sc arcely remain awake to the
fact that the case was not real.
AS Clerk of the Court, County
Atty. Mclaughlin filled the bill
to perfection and MIR. Ward
McGavren as Crier and Mr..
Joseph Barrett as Court Official
could not be excelled. Mr.. Bar
ret performed his duty of bring
ing in the jury so successfully
that we believe we have discov-
cred a future, we'll qualified
candidate for sheriff.
The plaintiff, Miss Sayde
Briggs, with her witnesses, Miss
Josephine johnson and Mr..
Moses Fanger, presented most
convincing testimony which
evidently made a chit" with
the jury as was proven by the
verdict rendered, a judgment
against the defendant of So 48
The defendant, DR.. A. H. Konig-
macher, assisted by Miss Bess
/ O'Connor, Mr.. Luther Il. Pike
and DR.. Gamble, introduced
strong argument to the con-
trary but, because the Jury was
weak and the plaintiff was a
young and beautiful widow,
this proved of no avail.

Explosion at Shop

One of the oil burning en-
gines caeated quite a lot of ex-
element in the shops yester-
day afternoon when it gave
vent to q minor explosion. Not
much damage was done, hut
foreman John WiIkeson, the
only man near the engine at
the time, was burned about the
face and hands. He was taken
to his home and will be laid up
for several days. The report of
the explosion was heard over
the entire city.

A Serious Fire

w ll0C IlllkuC ll0VC Occu OVC
of the most serious fires for a
long time was narrowly averted
last evening by the heroic work
of the fire department. About
seven o'clock last evening fire
was discovered at the rear of
the. Ivar Bolin store, corner
Third and Erie, and an alarm
Immediately turned in, but
when the department arrived,
which did not take them but a
few moments, the rear and the
second floor was a seething fur.
mace. Chief Kemper laid a line
of hose to the rear where the
fl e started but on account of a
partition in the building, this
stream could not reach far
enough forward so two more
streams were played from the
front Of the building, then the
shop fire department turned in
an alarm and they had two
streams from the side to protect
the Evans livery barn which
adjoins and which they were
fearful might catch at any
time. For half an hour the
firemen had a battle royal as
the dense smoke pouring out Of
all the windows made the fight
ing very hard. Thousands Of
gallons Of water were poured
into the building and soon re-
suits began to show. The worst
part of the fire seemed to be in
a pile of mattresses and wall
paper and these were nearly
consumed before they could be
extinguished. The lower floor
did not burn at all except in the
extreme rear where the fire
started. During the day MIR.
Bolin had been burning rubbish
back of the store and in the
evening a couple of boys re-
kindled the fire and were play
ing in it when it was communi-
Gated to a pile of mattresses
which the drayman had unload.
ed that day. These burned
like finder and the fire had a
good start before it was discov-
cred. All of the furniture on
the lower floor was removed to
the Brandriff building a few
doors away and were unframed.
Mr.. Bolin carried $500 insur-
ance on the stock and $1,000 on
the building but this will not
nearly pay for the loss.
But for the efficiency of the
fire department this fire could
easily have spread to the Evans
livery barn which was full of
hay and then no power on earth
could have saved that entire
half block. The firemen de-
serve a great deal of credit for
the magnificent way the fire
was handled and kept under
control.

Kaiser's Fresh Troops Given
Baptism of Fire and Retreat
in Disorder is Paris neport-
The Russians Take Tabriz.
BY HENRY WOOD.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Feb. 1.-The Kaiser's fresh
troops have been hurled into action
near Ypres and have been thrown
back with severe losses. Bayonet at
tacks unnerved the new regiment and
they retreated in disorder. This was
the most important news from the
front today. In addition official dis
patches claimed destruction of Ger
man trenches by French artillery at
several points along the Aisne and
the capture of German positions
west of Scissors.
Baptism of Fire.
German reinforcements brought to
the battle front along the railroad
linz running from Ostend received a
baptism of fire In charge against
the French positions southeast Of
Ypres. A daylight attack was order
ed. The Germans advanced double
quick upon French trenches. Their
lines wavered under hot machine gun
fire and they broke and fed in dis
order when the allied soldiers leaped
from the trenches. News of the re-
pulse of the Germans near Ypres was
received with great enthusiasm here.
For several days reports from num-
Der of sources pave brought word
that German general staff was mass
ing fresh regiments near Ypres for a
mighty smash through the allied
lines. French artillery has main
tanned an incessant bonn bardment of
German positions along the Aisne
for the last tWenty-four hours.
Aerial scouts reported that the
shelling was remarkably effective.
