The young man at tempted to hurry along the fire In the kltcbon stove by pouring kerosene oil on the hot coals from a can. The oil Ignited and the can exploded, covering him with the burning fluid. The young man, al though suffering terribly, did not lose his presence of mind, and running from the kitchen, plunged Into a barrel of rain water that stood at the side or the build ing. Ills body was practically covered with burns, those over the abdomen be ing especially severe. His condition was considered critical at last accounts.

According to the best and only in formation obtainable Forest county fur nished the only deer that was killed In all this parallel of latitude during the season just closed. On Wednesday morning of last week a man boarded the down train at this station with a fair sized one in bis possession, and we are not aware that he even was the slayer or the noble creature "at that price." The deer was brought here from Kellettvllle. We have heard several versions as to the reason that there weren't more killed this season, among them being the shortness of the season, a lack of tracking snow, etc., but the fact is there aren't any left to kill. Like the buffalo of the plains, the beautiful animals have seen their day. The few scattering specimens that still find (-oiiio shelter in the dense woods should have every protection that un grateful man can throw about them, in stead of being bunted to the last ditch.

The work ol installing the station is In charge of Henry Dunn, of Warren, and he expects to have it In running order in about a week. Tbis station will pump the oil to Minister, a distance of 21 miles, where another sta tion sends it to Warren.

No Patent on Oil Sprinkled Heads. At Los Angoles, Cal., Judge Wellborn, after a hotly contested and searching trial, decided in November that the use of oil on roads to lay dust was not pat entable and that therefore those California towns and municipalities which bad used crude oil for that purpose could not be made to pay royalties. A New Jersey company called the Dustless Roads Company bad brought suit against the town of Redlands to re cover damages and royalties for infringe ment or its alleged patent. The case came to trial last month resulting in tho com pany's defeat. Had it succeeded in se curing a favorable verdicttt would have cost the Pacific coast towns thousands of dollars for damages and an unknown amount for future roj allies. Further, had the company won out in California it would have given it a foothold for suits wherever oil was used on the streets. And this, while of immediate yltal im portance to the people In tho west, there might come a time when we of the east would be put on the defensive. Judge Wellborn In his opinion used the following languago: "Aftor hearing all tno evidence In the case, I am now satirfied that the .aliegtid discovery of Mr. M attorn was not pat entable. The monopoly claimed under this patent, fairly coii.'trud in my Judg ment is an exulusivo right to the use of oil con line it, if you will, to axplmllio oilii, California oils, or other osphaltic oils when applied to the surface of road; or, more generally slated, it is a monopoly over a natural product when uod lor a given purpose, and therefore falls within the denunciation of the Su preme Court in tho O'Hielly case in the l.rth Howard." The learned Judge goes on to cite the use of oil in Pennsylvania and in Rus sia as well as in California long before Mr. Mattern applied for his patent, and he therefore unqualifiedly declares the patent iuvalid. The Tidiouto News states this case has a local Inlerost from the fact tha. many of our peoplo met Capt. J. D. Fredericks, brothor of Mrs. H. F. Marks, who with his wife visited Tidiouto last February. The Captain is District Attorney of Los Angoles county, and tho purpose or li is visit east was to secure evidence iu the case noted above.
