SHUT OFF THE CURRENT!

new form of fire peril is coming in
to prominence due to carelessness in the
use of the many convenient electrical
devices that are fast coming into use
over the country, such as pressing and
curling irons, coasters, electric pads and
blankets, electric plate warmers, and
electric sterilizers or heaters. These
devices have a tendency to become over
heated, and are liable to set fire to any
thing combustible with which they may
come in contact.
Fires of this class are usually small,
but furnish a special peril to life, be
ing most frequent in dwellings and
often at night. But there is an abso-
lutte preventative, which should be
borne in mind at all time by every
user; that of shutting off the current
when not personally and continuously
supervising the use.

to recent ruling on western roads a

While Crate Hunt and Laramore
Nation were doing some digging Just
back of the house occupied by C. S.
Hunt and family, on the old Soloman
Whitman place, they unearthed what is
supposed to be an old Indian cache.
Five rifles were found, several sets of
harness, Indian cadet uniforms, gold
watches, women IS shoes, beads, pots,
pitchforks, knives and in fact every
thing but money. One of the latest
model guns in the cache was marked
1895, therefore it is thought that the
goods had been buried there for period
of about twenty years. The man s
watch was a Trenton, No. 2629776, and
ladies watch was a Lady Eleanor,

Five Steamers and Two De-
strOyers, Report Survivors.
AdmOnished To Say Nothing
About 1t, They Assert.

An. Atlantic Port, Sept 22.-Pas-
sengers who arrived from England to-
day on an American steamship
brought circumstantial reports that
five British steamships and two de-
stroyers out of a convoy fleet of six,
which left Lough Swilly, Ireland, Sep
tember 3, were sunk by German sub
marines within a few hours of the
port of departure.
The story was told among others
by shipwrecked seamen, who were
survivors of other submarine vessels
and by a merchant ship officers who
had been in Lough Swilly.
The five vessels, it was said, con-
voyed by the destroyers, put to sea
shortly after midnight, and they were
attacked by massed submarines at
daylight the following morning The
news of the disaster was learned
when the destroyers which escaped,
put back to port, brining survivors
of the torpedoed merchantmen and
war vessels.
The closest secrecy was immed-
lately thrown about the incident -
merchant officer said THE sur
survivors were given positive instruc-
dons to say nothing about it. but no
details as to the names of the ships
or the extent of loss of life could be
learned. 1t was reported that one,
and possibly two, of the U-boats were
sunk by the destroyers
