POPCORN VENDOR
NEARLY ROASTED
TO DEATH BY OIL
A.. II. Thompson Hemmed in Hack at
Nineteenth Street and Second
Avenue After Explosion.
ACCIDENT LATE IN THE NIGHT
John Meeker, Standing Across Nearby,
Saves Life of the Victim-Re-
moved to Hospital.

Albert H. Thompson, 522 Twenty
fifth street, Rock Island, proprietor of
q popcorn stand at Nineteenth street
and Second avenue, narrowly escaped
being roasted alive in his stand at
1910 this morning when gasoline
tank exploded. The tank burst near
the door, the only exit, and Mr.. Thomp
son was unable to escape His screams
attracted John Meeker, bartender at
the New Harper bar, who was stand
ing across the street. Meeker pulled
the aged man out, blazing torch, and
quickly extinguished his burning
clothing by rolling him on the ground.
Meeker's quick action saved Thomp-
sons life, as in another moment he
would have been overcome in the small
shack. Thompson was rushed to St.
Anthony's hospital, where DR.. A. n.
Mueller attended him. He suffered Sc
we're burns about the hands, face, neck
and head, his hair, mustache and eye
brows being burned off. On his hands
and neck the burns are deep in sever
al places and extreme painful. DR..
Mueller stated Thompson was doing as
well as could be expected, but that he
was not out of danger. The burns are
not necessarily fatal, but owing to his
advanced age the shock may prove SO.
Match Starts Fire.
Mr.. Thompson was preparing to
close the stand at the time of the mis-
hap. The gasoline tank, which fur
nishes the lights for the stand, was
leaking He struck a match and in
stantly the oil was ignited, tiny flame
crept toward the container and the ex-
plosion followed, throwing the burning
oil in all directions. 1t all happened
SO quickly tlat Thompson was unable
to collect his thoughts and a moment
later found himself hemmed in by a
wall Of fire He probably would have
died there had not Meeker come to his
rescue.
The fire department was called 10
minutes later and the blaze in the
stand eytlngulShed with cnemlcalS.
The interior of the stand was badly
scorched and the stock will be a total
loss.
Is Pioneer Restaurant Man.
Mr.. Thompson, who is 65 years of
age, is one of the best known Of the
older business men in the city. For
IS years he conducted a restaurant at
the site now occupied by ]. E. James,
and prior to that time was In the res
taurant business where the London
clothing store now stands.

peacefully thus far into Mexico and
the Carranza officials have shown ev-
cry indication of both their willing
ness and ability to avoid friction, the
tension along the Rio Grande has by
! no means relaxed. 1t is felt here that
the real test will come when fighting
with the Villista bandits actually
starts. The frightening lines of COM
munication Of the Americans, it is
pointed out offer tempting bait for
raids by guerrilas. The refugees who
throng the border towns are especially
be the signal for serious trouble.
| However, thus far the border is very
peaceful. Ell Paso is especially so ex,
cept for the many rumors which are
circulated night and day. Captain W.
D. Green, the night chief of police stat
ed today that he had never known the
city to be so peaceful and so free from
crime.
Complexities Situation.
A new problem faced the American
troops in Mexico today as they entered
the region where Villas trail is scarce
ly three days old. This problem came,
not from the Villa chase but from the
attitude of the CarranZa authorities
that they did not wish the Americans
to occupy any Mexican city.
On the border, at least, this was re-
garded as the most serious develop
ment in the expedition to date. If for
military reasons the army of General
]. j. Pershing should feel compelled
to occupy city, the Americans would
be in some danger of injuring the Mex
lean national pride. Some of the bloody
battles Of the last four years in Mex
leo have been fought over cities whose
military importance was small, but
possessed of which, according to the
ideas Of the Mexican people, indicated
dominance of that region.
| Under Carranza's Orders.
In making his announcement that he
had asked the Americans not to enter
or occupy Casas Grandes, the city
whose possession means safety to the
American Mormon colonists Of tina,
region, General Gabriel Gavira, COM
mander at Juarez, expressed no vexa-
ton at the presence of the troops in
his territory but he was very firm in
his announcement that under his pres
ent instructions from General Car
rama he has no power to modify the
orders to his troops against permitting
the occupation of cities.
Dispatches direct from Mexico and
the official announcements from Major
General Funston made 1t evident today
that the two American columns, one
from Columbus. N. NJ. under General
Pershing. and the other from Hachita,
N. NJ, under Colonel Dodd, had gotten
into close communication with each
other and probably had formed an ac-
tual junction when little more than
half way on the route to Casas
Grandes.
Made GO.Mile March.
| Something of the strategy OF the
dash on Villas trail also was apparent.
The Hachita column made its actual
] start from San Bernardino ranch,

able in rewards for Pancho Villas
capture. Half of 1t has been offered
by ranchmen in the northern part Of
Chihuahua and according to state
ment passed by the censor at Column
bus, N. NJ, another $4,000 is offered
through Colonel Herbert J. Slocum.
commander OF the 18th cavalry, whose
command repulsed the raid against
Columbus. Colonel Slocum's men led
the vanguard of the main expedition
from Columbus into Mexico.
The five Mexican newspapers OF
Ell Paso closed by the police are ex-
pected to resume publication immed-
