Fire Department Called
Stove. Was Badly

Clogged Pipes In Waterfront
Cause Of The
Explosion

Sunday evening at about seven
o'clock, the fire department was
called to the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Z. p. Iintzen, 212 Walnut Street,
where the kitchen range had been
destroyed by an explosion, and a
fire had resulted from the burning
Goals which were scattered about.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hintzen were at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A.
Rein when the explosion occurred,
and they were notified Of the fire
tby Miss Pauline Dahlem, who was
visiting at the home of Mrs. Aug
ust Dahlem, neighbors.
The stove was blown to bits, and
it was indeed luck for Mr.. and
Mrs. Hintzen that they were not at
home, for parts of the stove were
thrown to the ceiling and the walls,
with such force that holes were
driven into the plaster. Besides the
damage done to the ceiling and
walls, the linoleum and a curtain
was burned, while the entire inter-
ior Of the house was covered with
SCOT. Mr.. Hintzen had extingu'shed
the fire before the arrival Of the
department. and he notified Central
to that effect.
Readers will recall similar ex-
plosion, which occurred at the
Schaub home, west Of this city,
some years ago, at which time the
daughter was badly injured. This
explosion was caused by clogged
pipes in the water front. The pipes
are clogged either by frost or rust.
and both are dangerous and very
apt to cause similar explosions.
Mr.. Hintzen stated that for
about a week prior to the explos-
ion he had heard a pounding noise
in the stove and pipes, and had
made Investigations. However, he
believed the pounding was caused
on cold days when 1t was necessary
to use more fuel. This was not the
case, and we have been told that
the pounding noise is a sign OF
danger and should be a signal to
have the pipes and water front ex-
amined to avert a catastrophe OF
this nature.
There Is no doubt in the mind
Of Mr.. Hintzen that had they been
at home, both he and Mrs. Hintzen
would have suffered injury-pos.

by insurance.

Sank Centre
Won From
Melrose Fri.
Game Ended With Score Of
18 To II In Favor Of
Locals
LOST TO LITTLE FALLS
Independents Took The Alex
Firemen-"Fat and
Lean" Exhibition

It was the usual Melrose-Sauk
Centre rough house Friday even
ing. It was scarcely victory for
the Haweymen when they defeated
the Melrose quint Is to II.
In fact, it was what might be
termed a moral victory for the
Ramblers. Slated the underdog in
this skirmish, the Melrose lads
early put on fight that was des-
tined to keep them in running with
the locals throughout the entire
stretch. Their loss by one point did
not represent very healthy de-
feat in the light Of the fact they
scored from the field as many
buckets as did the Sank Centre
lads.
Had not Denny Ethun, local sub
stitute forward, been pushed on
his face in the closing minute Of
the game, the locals may not have
won and the assumption is that the
game would have proceeded into
overtime skirmishes. With the
score deadlocked at 17-17, Ethun
was fouled when he was thrown
to the floor from bodily contact
with a Melrose player. Awarded the
shot, Ethun stepped up as the
crowd hushed into silence-as he
held the game in the balance. His
shot, a swish, and few seconds
later the bark of the gun gave
Sank Centre the victory-and the
heroics to Denny.
A drouth of shooting and a
dearth of basketball marked the
progress of this annual roughhouse
event in the Melrose gym. AS the
boys churned up and down the
court for four quarters of the fast
| est play, a crowd of several hun
dred-including nearly a hundred
local students-shouted encourage
ment and turned thumbs down in
true Roman fashion. In fact the
whole display reminded one of the
ancient gladiatorial contest-only
who was the domineering Roman
soldier and who was the innocent
gladiator is hard to tell.
Ethun had to be thrown flat on
the floor with arms oustretched
and nose snudged against the floor
to win that ball game. Snyder,
Melrose guard was tossed into a
barrel roll and then three point
landing when Hoffman barged
down the floor headed for his bask-
ct. The unsuspecting Snyder was
thrown completely off the floor and
with arms and legs flaying out In
unrhythmic CITATIONS suddenly was
brought to the maplewoods with a
crash. There were other such hap
DIV incidents for the spectators to
gloat over, too.
Looking like the figures from a
first grade arithmetic problem was
the score at the end of the first
quarter. Walker took the first
bucket to tie two free throws of
Melrose. Some idle cavorting up
and down the court with mad
dashes and scrambles for the ball,
committed fouls that were not cali
ed, and the boys forgetting to pop
at the basket marked the re-
mainder Of the quarter.
Second quarter styles looked up
and Reble tossed in a onehand flip
shot. Kleber tied it, and Walker
snatched at the lead again after he
rounded another bucket in. Kleber
came right back with a break from
the corner for an under shot. Ar,
Wig reclaimed the lead when he
sailed in for a set up, and Walker

der her breath. II had forgotten all
about her!"
Thump! That was an answer from
out on the Green Meadows. That
was Peter. Mrs. Reddy ground her
teeth as she saw Peter sitting up
and staring back at the dear Old
Eriar-patch. She flattened herself
to the ground, but saw instantly
that Peter already had seen her.
She leaped forward to get squarely
between Peter and Johnny and the
safety of the Old Briar-patch. It
was provoking to have that warm
ing come just when it did, but, after
all, it didn't matter much. 1t would
have been another matter altogether
had it come before she reached the
Old Briar-patch Neither Peter nor
Johnny could get back there now
without passing her.
When Peter had heard that first
warning thump his heart had seemed
to jump right up in his throat. 1t
was danger signal, was that thump.
You see, Peter and Mrs. Peter have
several kinds Of thumps for signal
ing to each other. This thump
meant danger, immediate danger.
Peter instantly sat up to his full
height and looked over to the dear
Old Briar-patch. At once the red
coat of Mrs. Reddy caught his atten-
tion as she f1attened herself on the
ground. The color of that coat was
enough to tell Peter what the danger
was. 1t might be Reddy Fox, or it
might be Mrs. Reddy, but it really
made no difference which it was,
from Peters point of view.
Was Peter frightened? OF course.
He realized instantly his foolishness
in going SO far from the dear Old
Briar-patch. He saw at a glance
how he and Johnny Chuck had been
trapped by Mrs. Reddy. Unless he
could successfully dodge Mrs. Reddy,
and that was doubtful in the ex-
treme, he couldn't possibly get to
the dear Old Briar-patch. 1t looked
much, very much, as II there was
nothing for him to do but take to his
heels and trust to his speed and
ability to dodge to get him across
the Green Meadows to the Green
Forest, the Old Pasture or the Old
Stonewall on the edge Of the Old
Orchard. The distance to any OF
these was so great that Peters heart
sank Then he remembered one OF
Johnny Chucks old houses that was
nearer. He would try for that.

Mrs. Reddy in watching Peter and

tiveS are real Americans, it is very
happy choice.
This is a family you will not view
with indifference. In fact, the family
contains so many interesting members,
that in short time you may find
yourself collector. On account of
the hardships endured for thousands
of years by their ancestors, cacti have
learned many ways of holding their
own in spite of neglect. That is why
so many have found it a delightful
hobby, collecting cacti. They ask so
little.
Now one word of warning. The
cacti produce very beautiful flowers,
but they are so armed that it is q
sad day, indeed, for any one who, not
knowing the family quirk, lays a
violent hand upon the blossoms to
pluck them. Indeed, the remainder of
the day will be spent painfully picking
out the tiny hairy thorns.
The original tooth-pick factory and
one that is still fiourishing is the
cactus family. The Indians must have
been the first Americans to avail them
selves of the thorns for this purpose.
Cacti were the first plants actually
to conserve the water supply of the
desert. They knew better than to de-
velop leaves. The pineapple form is
the reservoir for this plant. In it is
stored all the water it could hold, when
the last rain fell. If there were leaves
instead of thorris, the water would
soon be gone, and you can see what
type of land the cactus has selected
for its home site.
There are many other cacti to be
found in New Mexico. There seems to
be rivalry carried on among them as
to which will be the most brilliantly
colored. Against the background of
