PROMINENT PLANTER KILLED
UNUSUAL MANNER LAST
SATURDAY.
IN
SCRAPER RAN THROUGH BODY
Tarn Laughlln Died Within Fifty Min-
ute* After Qrtat Thrust—Talked
Till Laat With Wife.
Saturday afternoon while driving a
fractious team of mules attached to
stalk cutter, Tom Laughlln, who re-
sides near Karmington, was thrown to
the ground and a piece of the machin-
ery run entirely tnrough his body,
death ensuing less than an hour from
time of the injury. Funeral yesterday
at Baptist church at Farmlngton; bur-
it>l at Hall's burying ground.
The facts stated in the foregoing are
the baais tor universal sorrow in the
community in which the deceased re-
hided. Tne occurrence, In its lncip
iency, like many otQera which have a
very serious beginning, was not aucli
as would indicate tje eud that resul
ted, but seemed rather trivial. Mr.
Laughlln had given much attention to
the matter of handling unruly young
stock and no questien could arise con-
cerning his ability to handle this par-
ticular team to which his death is duo.
One field of atalks had been dia
posed of and another was reached by
passing over a bridge. In some way
one of the wheels of the macaino
slipped from the bridge and at this
the team became frightened. Mr.
laughlln fell clear of the machine, but
held on to the team bo prevent, if
possible. Injury to it and the machine,
and this lead to his death. The team
was now thorougaly aroused and by a
quick dash the unfortunate man was
thrown with great force onto the clean-
er, or temper used upon the cutter
for the purpose of removing mud from
the blades.
This piece of steel passed entirely
through his body, entering just above
the left hip aud ccjmlng out at the
back' just over the right hip. A small
boy cnanced to be passing the road
just about the time Mr. Laughlin was
injured and by him word was sent to
ihe wounded man's wife. readied
her husband's side and asked if he
was much hurt. He informed her that
he was going to die nnd would not be
alive within an hour, but was prepared
for the passing and from that time
until the final dissolution came, ne
engaged in earnest conversation with
his wife, giving her instructions about
the disposition of iftftperty, care and
education of the children, etc. He was
conscious fully up to 'the very moment
of his death and scarcely uttered a
groan so busy was he with preparation
for the going to the great beyond.
Deceased was one of the best known
and generally liked men In the whole
community. His death came as a great
shock to all, not alone in nls immediate
community, but in other localities
where the unfortunate man was
known. The Baptist church at Farm-
lngton Is large, but it was not capable
of holding more than a third of the
people who sought admission. The
procession following the remains
the grave was one of the longest ever
seen in the country, attesting the pop-
ularity of tne man who had met a
tragic death. Besides the widow there
are several children surviving.

Explosion of a Coal Oil Stove La*t Sat.
urday Evening.
What came near being a serious Are
occurred at the residence of Mr. A.
Jones, 731 east Brockett street, last
Saturday evening about 8 o'clock.
A coal oil stove In the bath room of
the residence exploded and the flames
were thrown all over the room.
Mrs. Jones and other members of the
family had presence of mind enough
to grab up a number of rtigs, quilts,
etc., and proceed to smother the flames
while Mr. Jones got water, and In a
few minutes the Are was under con-
trol. It was put out without further
damage than the scorching of the In-

he was placed In the prison and re-
mained there until aome time the next
day, when an officer luckily returned
to the prison with the escaped con-
vict and Guthrie was released.
Guthrie says the prlaon deputy war-
den told the detective ho had thai
wrong man, but the detective was so
positive that his word waa taken as
correct, and Guthrie was locked up.
After being releaaed.from prison Guth-
tie says the authorities refused to buy
him a ticket home and he waa obliged
to return to thia city in the beat man-
ner possible. He began sett tor false
