SAVES CHILD'S t.ah.
The fololwing clipping was sent
to Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Baumgartner
from their son, Dr. Carl Baumgart
ner "who is Intern at St. Margaret
hospital at Pittsburgh, Pa.:
Edward Page, 11, playfully
petted a horse, 40 years ago, and
the animal snapped Edward's
ear off. "The boy picked up the
severed ear and ran to the Alle
gheny General Hospital. Dr.
Baumgartner replaced the ear
by inserting several stitches.
The boy refused to tell where
he lived and left the hospital
saying he was all right. Hos
pital physicians say it was the
most singular case every brought
to their notice."
Dr. Baumgartner is a former Mur
dock resident and the old time
friends will be interested in the story
of the interesting case.
Second Fireman
at Omaha is in
Critical State
One Killed and Sixteen Persons Are
Hurt Fighting Tire Estimate
Damage at $450,003.
Omaha. One fire captain was near
death and sixteen other persons were
recovering Friday night from injuries
received in a fire that destroyed the
three-story building occupied by the
Browning-King & Co., clothing store
here Friday, and caused the death of
Battalion Chief Homer S. Howes.
Revised estimates of the damage
placed it at approximately $450,000.
Earlier estimates by fire and store
officials had set the damage as high
as $600,000.
Fire Captain Henry Dietz was in
a critical condition at a local hos
pital, suffering from severe chills and
shock. He had fallen thru a delivery
chute into the water-filled basement
while the fire was at its height. The
others injured, most of them fire
men, were believed to have suffered
only minor hurts.
Howe's body was not recovered
from the debris until Friday after
noon, almost five hours after he had
entered the basement to investigate
the blaze. When his body was found
in ' several feet of water, his "pig
snoot" gas mask was still attached
snugly to his face but doctors ex
pressed belief that he died of suffo
cation. Repeated attempts to rescue
wer2 repulsed by Came and smoke.
The fire started when wax and a
fioor-polishing machine caught lire
and exploded in a basement room
while it was being softened over a
burner by a negro porter.
Lack cf a sprinkling system, "tire
trap" construction of the building
and slowness of firemen in turning in
a second alarm were seen by Fire
Chief Cogan as important factors in
the blaze getting beyond control. A
second alarm was not turned in un
til nearly an hour after the fire start-
CO.
"That was a mistake," Cogan said.
Firemen who anrwered the first
call believed the fire was under con
trcl. Chief Cogan, who had arrived
at his office shortly after the call,
became worried when no word was
received from the scene and went to
the fire himself.
"When I got there they told me
the Cre vrzs under control. I started
down into the basement, felt the hot
blast of air and ordered a second
alarm," he related.
The firemen were badly handicap
ped, Cogan stated, by the narrow,
circular wooden stairway leading in
to the basement. This stairway was
to the only entrance to the basement.
The basement, he said, was prac
tically air tight and in this type of
basement the fire soon exhausts the
oxygen supply and smolder?. The
opening of the freight shaft doors in
the 15th st. sidewalk, Cogan said,
might be classed as a possible blun
der in that the action admitted a
flood of oxygen into the basement,
giving new life to the ames. State

mentaater a car started and drove
rapidly away from town.

SET ASIDE CONVICTION
The conviction of Fern L. Mary-
ott, insurance agent of Fremont, on
a charge of contempt of court, was
set aside by the supreme court Thurs
day. It held that a husband should
not be committed to Jail for a re
fusal to pay alimony unless his re
fusal ia wilful and contumacious. If
he has no means or ability to pro
cure them to make payment and has
just and reasonable cause for his
failure he may purge himself of con
tempt of a court order for payment
by so showing. When he does so he
is entitled to his discharge. Refusal
to make payment is held to be a
civil contempt proceeding and need
not be brought in the name of the
state but as a part of the pending
case. The court says the evidence
shows he was totally unable to mate
the payments ordered.
