PENNED IN BY FLAMES.
Almost a Horror at
an Early Fire in Lima, Ohio - Jumping from Windows.
LIMA, Ohio, July 3, - Special Telegram - A number of men
narrowly escaped being cremated by the burning of a building
at an early hour this morning. As it was one man
probably fatally injured. At 3 o'clock Policeman
John Hammer was passing the Harrod
Building on East Market street, when he saw
flames bursting from Hutchinson's
restaurant on the lower floor. An alarm was instantly
turned in, but in a few minutes the entire building was
enveloped in a mass of roaring flames, and all exits for the
occupants were shut off. In the upper story were three
men fast asleep. When they awoke they were surrounded
by flames and had to jump out of the window.
J. P. Enbanks, whose home is at Magnetic Springs,
Ohio, in leaping from a window caught his foot on the window
sill and fell head foremost. He weighs 200 pounds, and
fell on the stone pavement on his right shoulder. He
was picked up unconscious. He has a bad cut on the
back part of his head, and his neck and back are
severely injured. It is feared that he will die.
Alex Hodges, of the same place, was in a
room on the same floor. He was awakened by the dense
smoke and was almost suffocated. He rushed to the
front window, the only means of escape, and after a few
moments succeeded in getting the window open. The
flames were breaking through the floor and the heat was
intense. He jumped to the stone pavement below,
escaping with only a few bruises.
Close Call for
Gamblers.
Before
jumping he heard some men who were in a gambling room
located in the rear calling for some one to save them, the
only stairway being in flames. He unlocked his door
and they came through his room and jumped out of the window,
escaping serious injury.

TWINS DIVORCED FROM TWINS.
MARYSVILLE, Ohio, Dec. 31. -
All records for divorce were broken when twin brothers who
were wedded to twin sisters, were simultaneously separated
each from his wife by the hand of the law. The
brothers are Alvin and Alvi Bruckles, farmers, who
live in Champaign County.
In 1895 they were wedded on the same day to twin
sisters. Five years from that time, to the very day,
each filed a divorce petition. In both cases willful
absence was given as the cause, the brothers claiming that
their wives had deserted them.
The cases came up for hearing yesterday and the decrees
were entered today. |

APPOINT WOMAN MAYOR AS PUBLICITY STUNT.
By the Associated Press.
Magnetic Springs, Ohio - Mrs. Mary McFadden,
who was 80 years old last December, has been appointed Mayor
of this village and there by hangs a tale of how the
secretary of the Commerce Club here originated and put
through to a successful conclusion, the idea of bringing
publicity to a health resort whose popularity appeared to be
waning.
As Secretary
William of the Commerce Club tells it, this little
health resort of 200 residential citizens, tucked away in
the country, fourteen miles from the nearest town.
Delaware was in a rut and something had to be done.
When Mayor Nathan O. Brown announced his
intention of spending the winter in Florida,
Secretary Williams conceived the idea. "We
will appoint a woman Mayor." he suggested and prevailed upon
Mayor Brown to name Mrs. McFadden to act
during his absence, giving as his reason that Mrs.
McFadden was the oldest woman in town capable of
acting as Mayor during Brown's absence.
This was done and Secretary Williams got
busy in the publicity end of the venture. Almost
overnight Magnetic Springs became known as the home of the
oldest woman Mayor in the country. The old bus to
Delaware that had almost stopped operating for lack of
patronage, once more took on life and did a thriving
business, particularly with newspaper reporters and
curiosity seekers.
Mrs.
McFadden met the newspaper boys and frankly told
them: "I hardly know what it is all about,"
Secretary Williams issued announcements concerning
her policies.
But this was not
all. The State officials at Columbus questioned the
legality of her acting as Mayor. They pointed out that
the job automatically fell upon teh shoulders of the
president pro tem of the village Council Secretary
Williams was equal to the emergency. He
induced a Councilman to resign, if necessary and then
induced the president pro tem to resign as president of
council and they way was paved to have Mrs. McFadden
fill the position as president pro tem of the Council and
thereby assume the office of Mayor.
And Magnetic Springs ahs been turned into a thriving
village, according to Secretary Williams. |

Ohio Has Fountain of Life?
(UPI) - This is a
town of old folks who say they are alive today because they
drink water by the gallons.
The
water comes from wells and springs and it's so magneticized
that if you drop a metal cup i it the cup will stick to an
iron pipe.
The elderly outnumber
the young here and they follow a rigid health pattern:
Each week they bathe in the magnetic water and all during
the week they drink water by the gallons.
The springs once also acted as a magnet for the community's
economy. Before the turn of the century, when water
cures were the fashion, they drew the ill by the thousands.
"But now," said Grant Ballard, an 85 year-old retired
farmer, "people are too busy to take care of their health
like they used to."
