THEY PLAYED WITH POWDER.
Two Topeka Lads Badly Burned In
An Explosion.

Experimenting with powder proved
costly to Paul Ritz, 634 Branner street
and Harold Hammerlie, 521 West
Fourth street, Saturday. The powder
exploded and as a result Ritz is in St
Francis hospital badly burned and
Hammerlie is at home with burns less
dangerous. The accident occurred
near the Foster cemetery, five miles
southwest Of Topeka on the Burlin-
game road.
The lads with four other boys went
out there to experiment with the
powder. The flames flared up into the
faces of the two, causing severe burns
on their faces, bodies and limbs.
Neither is in a serious condition.

BAD DEBT BRINGS WEALTH
Texas Farm, Thrust on Kansas Banker
Now Rich In Oil.

Thirty-fve years ago j. 2. Miller, Jr.,
now governor of the Kansas City Fed
eral Reserve bank, was forced, because
Of a bad debt Of 1854, to take posses
sion Of an uncultivated farm of 100
acres five miles west Of Granger. Tex.
During the intervening years Mr.. Mil
Ter never was able to find anyone who
would cultivate the land nor anyone
who would buy 1t. Whenever the taxes
fell due, he was reminded that he
owned the land. There never was a
time that $40 an acre would not have
bought the farm, with the owners best
wishes thrown In.
The farm, so long thorn In the side
Of Its owner, now has become source
Of great wealth. An oil lease specula-
tor recently gave Mr.. Miller a bonus of
twice the former value Of the land for
the oil rights, Mr.. Miller retaining one
eighth. royalty. Wells were drilled and
recently one began yielding 1000 bar
rels a day.
Experts now estimate that the 100
acre farm, which never earned any
thing, will have production Of 25.OOO
barrels of oil a day when completely
drilled.
