He was engaged in the repair shop of his brother J. B. Kelly. B. J. Kelly had been testing a gasoline burner and for this pur pose was using a small five-gallon tank in which was about three quarts of gtsoline. He had just finished making the test andj thinking he had extinguished the jet, withdrew " the fittings. Sim ultaneously an explosion occurred and the next instant the man was. enveloped in flamesl He had been stooping over the tank and the oil as it rushed from the spout of the t&pk pour?d in fie7 Jet 'TMhlf, arms and breast with etioh violence as to rend his clothing into shreds. Screaming with pain and With the flames fed by the gasoline, with which he had become saturated, licking about his body, he ran into the front shop. Mr. Houeyman and the two other workmen seized blankets from the automobiles iu the stable and wrapped them about the blazing man, extinguishing the flames. When taken to the bt. Vincent's hospital it was found he was terribly burned, lhe sxm peeled from his body as his clothes were removed and he wae burned from chin to heels. t Rey.

Edmund Creffield, of Holy Roller fame, spent a few minutes in Inde pendence Saturday. He was aboard the Southern Tacifio train and did not alight from his coach or stir from his seat. He was in , custody of Detective Hartman of Portland, and deputy sheriff Wells of Benton county and was being escorted from Corvallis to Portland. Through courtesy of the officers in charge, Creffield wae asked by a representative of the West Side Enterprise if b still clings to his religious teachings that have at tracted so much notoriety, " would beunjust" to talk to reporters, in the sight of God," was the reply. "But if you have something good and we know nothing about it, you would rot object to giving even re porters a few pointers," ventured the interviewer. "You'll get pointers," responded Creffield in a sarcastic tone, and theBe were the last words that could be drawn from the self-styled "Elijah." He ; suddenly became mum as a Yaquina Bay oyster. Further questioning and the dis play of the warrant, by Detective Hartman, showing that the pris oner was held by virtue of a com plaint of adultery, sworn out by B. E. Starr, only irrelated the leader of Holy Rollers. If remorse had ever taken him, bringing home tji responsibility, ; for ... breaking . P homes, sending half a dozen people to the insane asylum, and others to the boys and. girls',., aid .society, he did net show it , He looked sor- rr that some one had pulled him from under the floor at Coryallis. He showed bis displeasure at Deing Questioned by restlessly looking to right and left alternately, in ill- concealed efforts to appear opuy- iousto hist surroundings. There were no creases in Creffield's pants, nor was bis attire, otherwise lasn ionqd after, a pattern plate. , He carried no alligator grip with silk socks, sleeping gown, and change of linen nor . Saratoga trunk , wita dress suite and French perfumes. With a slouched hat and clotnes to match, and pallid complexion, he looked like onejust released irom a long jail sentence. ,,Hi8 nanqs. lay imp, and with, a freeniy snaven face and light eyes, his appearance was more that of a plant grown in the shade than a human being witn ran Wood in his veins. He was found under the house ot 0. V. Hurt at Corvallis last Fn Aav." - ' Tha discovery was made by Roy Tlnvr ana 11 the adonted son of UUl V) jv -I O. V. Hurt. He was looking lor corks about the house, when he noticed something white in the northeast corner. He crawled out from the house again, and pulling nut. bricks here and there, discover ed first a pillow, then a quilt, and lost offline so close to the unoHtle. whom he had not yet seen, tn at the latter sooke to him. The lad knew the voice, and hurried to town, and . informed his father, who with Chief Lane went at once to the scene, With some difficulty they induced Crtffield to come out, and after ... supplying, Mm, , with clothing, they hurried him into a buggy, and drove him yia a back tn th Benton county jail. . in o v . - - - which the.apostl waa.at once IvIimmL ..Tha.i whole occurrence traBipirjsd.withiab.alf au hour, and r.mffield wm locked securely in one of, the stealellaf the jaiU befors mtnr CorvtOlisites had learned INDEPENDENCE, OREGON what had taken place. Cretlleld who was so weak from his long reclining position under the house and frein his famished conditon, that after he came out from under the building, he had to be supported between his captors to the carriage. ) After locating Crefflelk and going for hi father and City Mar shal Lane, Roy Hurt said: "Vhn we got to the bouse, Papa took some bricks out of the foundation and called out Cref field's name two or three times. But there was no answer Pa pa con tinued calling and at last Crellield answered. Then Papa crawled a little way under the house, and told Creffield to come out, Creffield answered that he had no clothes on and Papa told him that if he would come out he would provide him with clothes. They kept on talk ing mdat lat Creffield crawled out. When he came out from Under the house, he was au awful looking thing. He had great long hair and long whiskers and was so weak that be could scarcely stand. We got some clothes and put on him. Then he went off to one side and laid down under the cherry tree. He said, 'It is cold,' and Mr. Lane said he would send for a doctor. He said, no doctor.' Then Papa went to Fischer's and nhoned'ora buggy. hen it ar rived they put Creffield in it and took him to town." Uoon hearing the discovery of Creffield, B. E. Starr, whose home he had broken up, with three other men went from Portland to Cor vallis and organized a lynching mob. , The counsel of O. V. Hurt, who had suffered most at the hands of Creffield preyailed, and no at tempt was made to take tne pris oner , from the custody of the officers. An, attempt was antici- rated and armed guards patroled in front of the jail Friday night. For Sale. I have a choice selection oi good milch cows for eale. Apply to W. N. McLaughlin, It. P. D.
