When Lightning Explodes Oil
Drunuight, Okl., July 19. Several
houses were destroyed and 2,000 peo

The contents of the tank rushed down
through the part of the residence sec
tion in a flaming torrent. Buildings
weie set on fire and the whole town
clouded in smoke.
Hundreds of men with spades hur
riedly threw dirt dams across the
path of the burning oil to keep it
from the business district. The loss
here was estimated at $167,500.
Three other oil tanks in the Oilton
field near here also were destroyed
by lightning, involving a loss of near
ly $500,000

BOY SCOUTS ENJOY
THE CAMPING LIFE
Are Preparing to Play Hosts
Sunday to Their Parents,
as Well as Their
Friends.
One thousand bottles of pop! That
is the amount already consumed by
the Boy Scouts in encampment at
Camp Welch on Lake Quinnebaugh,
three miles from Decatur. And Com
missioner Welch says they have or
dered more!
About seventy Boy Scouts from
Omaha, together with the Scouts from
Tekamah, expect to play the host on
Saturday to the many Omaha people
who have announced their intention
of going up on that day. Scoutmaster
English has given out full and ex
plicit directions for the guidance of
those going by automobile or train.
Automobiles will be in attendance
at Tekamah to haul guests to the
lake at a charge of $1.50 for the round
trip. A motorboat will meet them at
the lake and charge 10 cents to con
vey them to the island in the middle,
where the camp is situated.1
Going Through Tekamah.
Those motoring up will follow the
Decatur road leading north from Te
kamah for twelve miles, turn east at
the first Boy Scout sign and park
cars in the picnic grounds near the
store on the edge off the lake, taking
the motorboat from this point.
All guests are requested to bring
their, own lunches, as the Scouts are
not equipped to handle a crowd.
The boys recently organized their
camp on a municipal plan, electing
Lewis Culkin mayor, Jack Fetters
judge, Nicholas Amos prosecuting at
torney, Aaron Barr chief of police,
Eugene Clark chief of fire department
and Milton Barlow chief of sanitation.
Discipline Fine,
Mr. English says that the discipline
in camp is remarkable and the appe
tites more so. The camp cook is the
busiest man on the lake.
A big campfire will be held Satur
day night, at which Indians from the
neighboring reservations will enter
tain the boys, appearing in full war
regalia.
Mr. English says the camp is badly
in need of an automobile, which he
hopes some kind-hearted Omahan will
donate temporarily, with the promise
of excellent care while in use. It is
needed to haul supplies from town to
the camp.

DEMANDS DEATH OF
- MRS. REM MOONEY
District Attorney Asks Extreme
Penalty for Woman Charged
With Implication in
Bomb Plot.
(By Associated Press,)
San Francisco, Cal., July 19. Mrs.
Rcna Mooney smiled several times
today as she calmly listened to Dis
trict Attorney Charles M. Fickert re
peatedly demand the death penalty
for the defendant when he resumed
his opening address to the jury try
ing her for murder resulting from a
bomb explosion here lasfjuly which
claimed ten lives.
"If this jury does its duty anarchy
cannot live; if it fails law and order
cannot live," Fickert asserted.
"We have shown this defendant aid
ed in the coiflmission of this crime
and death is the only adequate pen
alty. She has been a leading member
of a group of anarchists who called
themselves the 'Blasters;' treacherous
snakes whose creed is crime and rev
olution and anarchy," he said.
Fickert turned his attack to Thomas
Mooney, husband of Mrs. Mooney,
whois under sentence of death for
the bomb murders, and then to Rob
ert Minor, treasurer of the Interna
tional Workers Defense league, which
financed the present and former trials
of bomb defendants.
"This league might justly be called
'the international Murderers league;'
its object is to wring filthy money
from ignorant people," he declared.
"Only the hand and mind of a crim
inal could draw such pictures," he
said, indicating a cartoon Minor testi
fied he had drawn for the Blast.
"This defendant and her co-con-spirajtors
knew they couldn't live , in
this country if the military forces
were strengthened and they sought to
hasten the revolution, incited by Al
exander Berkman's editorials and
Minor's cartoons.
"The tragedy last July was the cul
mination of their criminally blood
thirsty conspiracy," Fickert charged.
