EXPLOSION BURNS
TWO WOMEN BADLY
Ignition of GaSOIOne Shakes
Town of Kimberly
VICTIMS RUSH FORTH WRAPPED
IN FIERCE FLAMES.
Both Taken to Twin Falls Hospital
and 1t Is Now Believed VIII Entire
ly Recover.

Mrs. Willard McMaster of Kimber- |
ly, and her sister-in-law, Beulah Nc
Master, were terribly burned as re-
suit of the ignition of gasolene and |
gasolene fumes, by match intended
to be used for lighting a lantern, in a
cave at the home of Lee Stettler in
Kimberly, at o'clock Thursday even
ing. The explosion shook the entire
town and surrounding country and
brought neighbors hastily to the spot.
About 4 O'clock Lee Stettler, Jr.,
the three-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stettler, got hold of can of gaso-
lene and bringing it to the top of the
steps leading into the cave, began to
play with it. The can turned over and
the gasolene spilled out. The boy
wiped up what was on the steps but a
good deal ran out on the ground and
the fumes filled the cave. About dusk
Mrs. Willard McMaster and Miss Nc
Master went into the cave to fill pill
lows with feathers. Without thinking
of danger they struck a match to
light lantern when a terrific explo-
sion took place The heavy door of
the cellar was smashed and the door
of a cupboard which held fruit jars
was broken. Both women found their
clothing on fire and rushed up. Miss
McMaster being lightly clad, found
her clothing burning more fiercely
than that of Mrs. McMaster, who wore
heavier clothes Mrs. McMaster reach
ed the top of the steps first. Mrs.
Stettler, who heard the explosion, ran
out and seeing flames wrapping
around Beulah rushed to her assist
ance The girl threw herself into the
heavy alfalfa growing around the
place and began rolling while Mrs.
Stettler beat on the flames until they
were extinguished.
In the meantime Mrs. McMaster had
put out the fire on her clothes.
Both women were frightfully burn
ed. and at first it was believed that
the burns on the body of Beulah would
almost necessarily prove fatal. There
being no doctor in Kimberly at
the time, aid came from Twin
Falls and the women brought to the
Twin Falls hospital, where Mrs. Nc
Master is now pronounced practically
out of danger and Beulah improving
with strong probability of her com
plete recovery.
Mrs. Stettler is a sister of Beulaf
McMaster and of Willard McMaster
Beulah lives with a brother in this
city and was visiting at the Stettlei
home. Mrs. Willard McMaster, was
formerly Miss Charlotte Wiker of this
city and was married last spring. He
husband is in partnership with Lei
Stettler in the butchering business il
Kimberly.

MILITIA SALARIES
PROVE insufficient
Cook King Does Not Get Enough to
Keep Family-Priyate Miller Con-
fronted by Same Problem.

That the wife and family Of Charles
King, cook of Company d have been
left in practically destitute circum-
stances in Ogden, Utah, and that Mr..
King is in desperate plight as result
is the story told by Sergeant A. d.
Rounds, of that company, in letter
to d. NJ Denton, in which it is stated
that King left with the understanding
that the citizens of Twin Falls would
look after his family while away, and
that he is on the point of desertion in
consequence.
Asked in regard to the matter,
President E. M. Sweeley of the Com
pany d association, said that the mat
ter had been called to his attention
and that he was in correspondence
with the King family about 1t. He be-
lieved the statements to be substan-
TALLY true and thought that steps
would have to be taken by the associa-
ton at once to attend to it. He said
that he was awaiting a reply to let
ter just sent to Ogden and would act
at once on its receipt should the facts
prove to be as he assumed. He said
that a similar state of affairs existed
in regard to Mrs. Miller and child, the
family of Private Miller. who had
turned over the greater part of his
salary, which, however, was wholly
insufficient.

ARRESTED FOR SETTING
FIRE TO MANS TENT
Alleged Incendiary Traced by Sher-
iff Kendall by Marks of HOb-nailed
Boots.

Traced by the hob-nails in his shoes,
Oliver Schoonover, accused of having
set fire to the tent of Jeff Turner late
Saturday night, was arrested by Sher-
iff Kendall Sunday morning, as he was
seated on the porch of a down town
hotel. The accused man was taken to
the county Jail and is being held pend
ing his trial
1t is stated that between 10 and IL
o'clock Saturday night, Schoonover
made his way to the tent owned and
occupied by jeff Turner and wife, and
with a match set fire to the tenting
next to the bed usually occupied by
the two Turner children, who FORUM
ately happened to be visiting with
friends that night. Mr.. and Mrs. Tur-
ner were asleep and did not know of
the fire until c. e. Bynam, a neighbor
who happened to see the blaze, woke
them up and aided them in extinguish-
ing the flames. The authorities were
notified and a search begun for the
offender Prints of hob-nailed shoes
were noticed and measurements tax
en- of the print Doing some detec-
tive work on this clue the next morn
ing resulted in the location of Oliver
Schoonover, the measurements of
whose shoes, it is said, tailed with
those of the shoe-prints. Sheriff Ken
dali had the man arrested and a mo-
tive for the offense was found in the
explanation given by Mr.. Turner.
Two years ago he said that Schoon-
over, in an alteration, attacked him
and stabbed him with a knife He
had the man arrested and sentenced to
a term in the penitentiary, and for
this Schoonover is said to have made
threats of getting even with Turner.
Schoonover was paroled about a
year ago but it seems that this is the
first time he had encountered Turner
He had come in from Hollister Satur-
day evening for the deliberate pur-
pose, it is thought, of fulfilling his
threats of getting even with Turner.

"WORLD'S CRISIS" SUBJECT
OF WALTER 7. MILLS TALK
Socialist Lectures Before Small But
Appreciative Audience Saturday
Evening.

That Walter Thomas Mills, Social
list lecturer, is a master of the art of
oratory, was demonstrated Saturday
evening when he delivered his lecture
on "The Worlds Crisis, It's Cause and
Cure" at the high school auditorium
before small but appreciative audi
ence.
Mr.. Mills made hits against what he
termed the present system of exploi-
tation of the whole people by a few
men of swollen fortunes, and in his
comparisons of Germany as the
Rockefeller and England as the Nor
gan of the world, he attempted to
show how the power of financial in
terests resting in England and the
high efficiency of Germany's wonder
full industries has kept for them the
undisputed mastery of the whole
world until now. Among other things
OF stirring eloquence, he paid a high
tribute to the spirit of the American
flag.
Mr.. Mills laid great stress on the
Importance of conserving the real in
terests of the nations of the world by
the Improvement of the conditions OF
all the populations. His cure for the
economic ills, is the public ownership
and operation of all collective necessi-
ties. Mr.. Mills is the author of a
work entitled Democracy or Despot-
ism," and number of these were sold
among the audience at one dollar
each. The one drawback to his lee
ture was his hoarseness resulting
from a severe cold.

FIRST AID PROVES
TO BE REAL AID
Willard Denton Shot by % Rifle at
Boy Scout Camp Goes Fishing the
Next Day.

That first aid to the injured as prac-
ticed by the Boy Scouts of Twin Falls
is efficacious, was amply proven one
day last week when bullet from a
.22 rifle which accidently discharged
in the hands of companion, went
through the calf of the leg of Willard
Denton, who after first aid treatment,
was able to go fishing the next day.
The boys were two and half miles
from camp when it happened. After
making Denton as comfortable as pos
sible by means of first aid, his COM
panions ran to headquarters and got

time and he was carried to camp
where a physician had been summon
ed The wound was cauterized end
Willard was soon in as good condition
as ever, for all practical purposes.

Nogales on a very steep ridge. We
have an ideal camping place as it is
well drained. In fact, if fellow rolls
out of bed he is liable to roll until he
strikes bottom.
The rainy season is now on and they
say it will last six weeks. Weather is
cool, although it has been very warm
Besides the Idaho regiment there
are two regiments of regulars here,
three regiments California infantry,
one battery California field artillery,
two troops Utah cavalry, one regiment
Connecticut infantry and one regi-
ment Arizona infantry. 1t is said that
more are coming.
The regulars are doing all the guard
duty along the line. The Mexicans
also have guards. Their guards carry
all kinds of guns from % rifle to a
double barreled shot gun.
A train of Mexican soldiers arrived
yesterday. They came in box cars and
had the appearance of being just a
mob. They have no uniforms and
mighty little of anything else.
The boys all stood the trip down in
fine shape. Had no accidents of a
serious nature
Do not fail to send the papers regu-
larly, as the boys look forward to
their arrival. We are all busy making
camp today.

LIGHTING PROBLEM
BEFORE COUNCIL
Question of Municipal Owner
ship Raised by BObier
MAYOR SWEELEY DOUBTS ECO
Monty OF SUCH SYSTEM.
Small Step Taken In Water Matter
Passed-Next Meeting Friday Night.

The problem of municipal lighting
was brought before the city council
last night and was laid on the table
after some discussion, at meeting in
which the Shoshone street paving dis
trict was created, the first step taken
toward establishing the Elm Park
sewer district, toilet water rates cut
for outside toilets, petition and pro-
posed ordinance for the building of
Short Line spurs tabled and numerous
matters of routine taken up. Hearing
OF protests on the Elm Park sewer
will be heard Tuesday evening, July
26 The council will meet Friday
evening at 8 o'clock to take up pend
ing questions such as the library
bond election, city hall bond election
and other matters that have been be-
fore it for some time and have not
been disposed of.
The first item of business was the
reading of the protests against the
paving of Shoshone street, pre-
viously brought before the special
hearing last week. AS they were
based on a misapprehension of facts
and nobody was backing them before
the meeting, they were denied The
Elm Park sewer ordinance was passed
following the passage of the Shoshone
street paving ordinance, subject to
protests at the meeting next Tuesday
night.
Mayor Sweeley said the water situa-
ton demanded attention and called at
tention to the fact that as the mayor
and the whole council were respon-
sible for the water tests taken, none
had been taken. He suggested that
the matter be put up to the water
