Turn the Hose on the Hoboes.
Some of the hoboes who were sen
tenced to work upon the streets,
have been causing the officers more
or less trouble. Last Tuesday
three of them refused to go to work,
saying they would rather remain in
jail and take a bread and water
diet. They acted ugly and the
officers secured chains and balls
which they attached to them. They
were taken out on the streets, and
refusing to work were com
pelled to stand during the working
hours in the hot sun. This was
quite an ordeal, and on Wednesday
morning they attempted a new
scheme they refused to put on
their clothes. This "queered" the
officers for a short time but the
latter were equal to the emergency.
They secured a hose and turned
the water on the fellows, who
eventually capitulated and said
they would don their garments.
The;' were taken out but refused
to work, and passed another day
standing in the hot sun. Yester
day one of the three announced that
he had enough punishment and j
would work the remaining days of
his sentence; the other two arc still
wearing ball and chain.
Seriously Burned.
Mrs. John Scharmann, living on
east Sixth street was seriously
burned yesterday morniug by her
clothes catching fire. She was in
the act of lighting a fire in the
kitchen stove.and in some unknown
manner her dress became ignited.
She attempted to extinguish the
flames, but failing in this started
for a neighbor's bouse, tearing off
her clothes as she ran. When she
reached the house she was well en
veloped in flames, but Mrs. Smith
succeeded in .removing the burn
removing
ing garments.
Dr. Duncan was promptly sum
moned who found the unfortunate
woman badly burned on the breast,
the back, right arm, left hand and
on both limbs, about one-third of
the surface of the entire body being
burned more or less. The attend
ing physician relieved as far as
possible Mrs. Scharmann's intense
sufferings and she is reported to be
improving from the effects ot the
unfortunate occurrence.
Mrs. Scharmann does not have
the slightest idea as to how her
clothing caught fire, as in lighting
thp kindling she had not used kero
sene. PearJ Weeks celebrated her
eighth birthday Wednesday after
noou by inviting a large number of
her little friends to a birtiday
party. Many handsome presents
were received by Miss Pearl. Re
freshments of ice cream and cake
were served. The boys and girls
present had apparently a very
pleasant time.
