Spark From Body Causes Fire.
When a resident of Dubuque, Iowa,
wearing a fur coat and rubber boots,
walked hurridly to his garage on a
cold morning recently he did not
realize; that his movements were stor-
ing up a dangerous amount of elec-
tricity in his body. But the fact was
that the friction of hi? arms against
the coat caused a certain amount of
static electricity to be generated, and
this was stored in the man’s body
because it was .insolated. from the
ground by his rubber boots. When
he sought to prime the motor of his
car with a mixture of gafeoline and
ether, using a metal squirt can—prob-
ably of, copper which is a good con-
ductor of electric current—the can
vs brought so close to .the motor
that a spark was produced between
it and the priming cup, igniting the
gasoline. The can exploded throw-
ing the flaming fluid over both man
and car, The man escaped with Se-
vere burns but the car and garage
were completely' destroyed.—Popular

will probably be a witness at the
hearing. '.. .-
Acording to Sheriff Ed Clarkson,
. who investigated the shooting, Mrs.-
Ashby claims she Bhot her husband
in self defense. Hqr story, accord-
ing to the sheriff, is thnt^br. Ashby

abusing her. Daring the night she
said he chased^ her about the house,
beating’ her fearing for her life
and thag of her child, she obtained
possession of her husband’s revolver
which he kept in the house, not with
■ the intention of shooting him, but
for the purpose of keeping him from
getting hold of it.. . “ '
Finally, according to the story, the
sheriff says Mrs. Ashby told him Dr.
Ashby again attacked her and when
she saw her escape from the house
had been cut off she fired and her
husband fell.
“I didn’t make any formal arrest
when I heard her story,” said the
sheriff.
Mrs. Ashby told the sheriff her

room just after the shooting. She

Some one has said that of the new

ment after viewing the decorations
surrounding the numeral. the ob-

not like to be so conspiciously identi-
fied with such an unartlstic bill. Or
maybe he is frowning his displeasure

asking, both in the way of salaries
and additional help, and urged the
allowance of appropriation for of-
fices \noi requested, but needed. It
said in part:
"\Ve wish to heartily endorse the
able and efficient administration of
the present comptroller and the ef-
