WILLIAM POWER KILLED

Mr. William Power, formerly county surveyor, died Wednes-
 day morning at 8 o'clocf at

 The explosion occurred at his home in Flagstaff Tuesday eve
 ming.
 MT. and Mrs. Power, Dad
 Power, Mary and Lester Pow
 CT had just finished their sup
 per Tuesday evening and were
 seated near the heating stove.
 There was no fire in the stove nor had there been one during the day. Lester asked his fath- CT for a cigarette. MT. Power gave him one and took one for himself. Lester threw the burn ing match which he used to start the cigarette, in the stove and shortly after left to go down town.
 Something started to sizzle in the stove. Mrs. Power, not icing it said Billy, what is the matter with that stove? It never acted that way before."
 MT. Power got up, took look into the stove, and a ter rife explosion took place. He was struck in the stomach by piece of iron 2 inches wide and 4 or 5 inches long, which was blown from the stove. One leg was badly mangled, and his face and arms were torn and burnt. Mrs. Power was terri bly, cut about the head and chest but will recover. Mary Power suffered frightful injur- ies about the face but was de- clared to have a fair chance for recovery. Dad Power who was lying on bed in an adjoining room, was thrown out a win dow,' by the force of the explo- sion but did not suffer any dan gerous injuries.
 The house was almost com pleteiy wrecked. A large hole was blown in one side, another side was pushed out nearly two ,eet, partitions were misplaced, md furniture and dishes were All but two of the windows in the building were broken, and the water heater in ths kitchen, sev- ,ral rooms away, was severed rom the range.
 The cause of the explosion is but those who were irst on the scene after the ca were inclined to mink that only TINT could lave wrecked such damage. ome thought that they could .etect the odor following an explosion of TINT. How this r any other explosive should ct into the stove is a mystery

graded on choosing of books, de-
livery, and language. As the two
former were graded unanimously
with the same per cent the first
choice fell to Bessie because she
was younger. Bessie gave "Littlc

Above-Switching American corn

To right-Armenian waif anxious

has ever been. But as a life-saver
Johnny Cake appears in role

line. For Johnny's now a relief
worker.
This startling news recently
reached Near East Relief head
quarters in New York from its
agents in Transcaucasia. 1t was
disguised i'll the terse announcement
that the first shipment of American
corn ever sent to the Near East has
arrived in Armenia, where it was
received with joy by starving
populace.
Most OF the shipment was made
IN the form of corn meal, to save
space and freight charges. Among
the relief personnel in the City Of
Alexandropol, where twenty thouS-
and children are housed in Ameri-
can orphanages and where thous-
ands more are reported starving on
the streets, was a daughter Of the
"Old Dominion" 1t was she, with
memories of chubby childhood,
who introduced Johnny to her
young charges.
As a result of that one shipment
OF corn meal the relief director for
the entire Transcaucasian district,
informed relief officials at New

hundred ragged, hunser-shrunken
tots. none over five, were admitted
