Children in Box Car.

Fred James Hobson, aged z,
and Guy Williams Hobson, aged
II, supposedly of Joplin, were
found in a box car at the Frisco
station. The names Of the two
lads were determined by the Of
ficers after they had extracted a
good many aliases from them,
besides getting wise to the num-
berless stories which the boys
told without any trouble.
According to the story when
the boys started from Joplin
there were three in the COM
pany, but the third one, an old
er brother, had made his way to
Kansas City. Whether he was
with them or not and how he
eluded his younger brothers that
they did not follow him still re-
mains a mystery.
The story put up by the boy,
that is the one in which the 10
cal authorities could have any
faith, was that their father was
a drunkard and that he was
treating no one decent" and
that they were bound for Pich-
er, Okla, to visit an old friend
who had given them many rides
when he was doing express busi-
ness in Joplin. They were sup
posed to have been attending
Emerson school in Joplin, but
when attempts were made to
find out anything about them it
was stated that there were no
such names registered there.
The boys were taken to Joplin
latee Tuesday afternoon and
turned over to their parents.

Careless Use of Dynamite Thoi
TO Be the Cause of Terrible
Accident al Tar River

L. A. Paterson, who was in
jursd by the explosion Of dyna-
mite in the boiler room on the
Producers lease, on Walker
land, last week, Is dead. Mrs.
Patterson, who was also injur-
ed, is reported improving.
Mr.. Patterson's death is the
fourth life lost through the ex-
plosion. Two drill men were in
a few hours afterwards from in
stantly killed and another died
juries he received. John Eddy,
aged %, and Henry Evins, aged
38, were the two men who met
death instantly. They had been
working on a drill rig and when
their boiler was down they got
cold and walked to the ill-fated
boiler room to get warm. Mean
while Mrs. Patterson had
brought her husbands lunch
and the hoisterman had come
down to sharpen a tool.
The cause of the explosion
still remains a mystery, but it is
thought that in preparing the
shots the caps were probably
squeezed too hard. Ten boxes
of dynamite had been ordered
and only two of them had ar
rived. The rest came after the
explosion.
Henslee was injured so badly
that he could not be moved to
the hospital. He was placed in
a two-room house near the scene
of the accident and died four
hours afterwards. The bodies
of Evins and Eddy were remov-
ed to Commerce.
During the explosion Frank
Simmons was under ground
waiting for the shots to be low
cred. Later he was taken out
of the 185-foot shaft uninjured.
The report of the explosion was
heard distinctly in Baxter
Springs. Many houses were
shaken and window panes Vi
brated and ratified.
Henslee was taken to Joplin
and buried there.
