BOYS BURNED BY NITRIC ACID Anderson, March '(J.?Hey ward Pickle, 11-ycar-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Pickle; William Tolly, 10year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Tolly, and Fred Tolly, 12-year-old son of Mr. Clarence E. Tolly, were more or less seriously burned Tuesday afternoon when some nitric acid spattered 0:1 them. Hey ward Pickle is probably more seriously burned than the other two, and Will Tolly is burned more than Fred Tolly. ? ?ivjy lull,) ncic ill UK' Vlt'llllty Ol the Mrs. Mi 1 wee Tolbert Hughes store room on West Benson street yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock. They were playing on the stairway leading from the street to the second floor of this building. It is understood that some one had told them that the second floor was "haunted," and it is said that they heard a noise up on the second floor. Kcnenth Smith, one of the Daily Mail carriers, came along and the boys told him to go up the stairs, daring him to venture into a place that was "haunted." Young Smith walked up the stairs, and after getting about half way up he noticed Mr. Davis Fant in the hall on the second floor. Mr. Fant. motioned for him to come on up, and the Smith boy did so. Mr. Fant then picked up a jar that had been on the floor of the hall, and reaching over the bannisters, let it fall to the steps below. The jar burst when it hit the steps and the * uciitr> spa.tix*reci 011 tnc tnrce tioys. The contents turned out to be nitric acid. The boys were painfully burned and they scampered on to Mr. Will Tolly's home. Finding no one there, they returned to a drug store and Dr. J. I.ouis Gray dressed their wounds. Hey ward Pickle was burned on the side of his face and on one leg and on both arms. He was also badly burned on the neck. William Tolly was burned on his arms, on his chin and 011 his neck. The boys were made com fort ! able and were taken to their respective homes, where they are resting well today. Mr. Fant was arrested by the police officers and was placed in a ceil at the city hall. Today he was removed to the county jail, a state warrant having been issued for his arrest by Magistrate Geiger on the affidavit of | Mr. Pickle. Mr. Pickle was accompanied to the magistrate's office by Mr. C. E Tolly. The warrant charges "assault and battery with intent tc i kill." Mr. Fant states that he deeply regrets the occurrence. He says that he i did not have any idea that the jar vi iiuuiicti nunc acio, and that of f course he would not have dropped the I jai to scare the children had he known its contents. He says furtho" that he did not sec the boys at the bottom of the steps; that he colli'1 i hear them and that he thought tluy were on the sidewalk, and that he dropped the jar, intending for it to ' roll down the stairway and thus scare : the boys. He says he had no idea that the jar was going to burst. He expresses the hope that the boys are not seriously injured and that their wounds will be quickly healed with no bad permanent effects.

The German l% official cohvmunication says that the advance of the Germans north of tl i Malancourt was over a front of more i than a mile. c; 1 During the German offensive on Malancourt the French heavy guns from the Argonne were directing their fire on the Malancourt and Avo'^1 court woods, ^ Aside from the infantry attacks and 0 i counterattacks in this region a heavy bombardment has been in progress s from Avocourt northeastward of Beth .4 1 j ineourt, a distance of five miles, There haj been a continuation of the 1 sporadic outbursts of artillery fire to the north and east of Verdun; while in ^ the Vosges mountain the French batteries have been keeping up their usual bombardment of German or* ganizations. \ PRICEMLLFSHEAD :! MAY TEMPT BETRAYAL e El Paso, Texas.?Military men e made no secret of their belief today that Francisco Villa had slipped through the cordon of American troops and Carranza forces pursuing 1 - him in Mexico. ^ The latest information was that the bandit leader was moving through the Santa Maria valley. Once among his peon friends, Villa might escape de0 tection for a long time, it was pointed '' out. ia Roving bands of Villa men are reported everywhere in the region of l; Santa Maria valley, but apparently the American flying columns have not t come in contact with them. Mexican officials said today thoy li hail no news as to the whereabouts o? s Villa, but that the troops of the de n . facto government were aiding the American soldiers in the attempt to capture him. Ranchers from the Chihuahua district said that when it became known that there was a price upon Villa's n ) head, dead or alive, the bandit would n 1 be in constant danger of betrayal. Whether the American troops have v made it known that there is a reward for Villa has not been learned here r\ among the peon population. Brigadier General Bell, commandant at Fort Bliss, awaited official orders today to ship supplies to the army over Mexico Northwestern Railroad, Gasoline, forage, canned goods and flour will go forward soon. Meanwhile Major Elliott, departed quarmnster, is moving supplies in great quantities to Columbus, where they are carried in motor truck trains over ' iho Mexican desert to the army base below Casas Grandes. Ten carloads were shipped to Columbus early today and ten new motor trucks also were ! sent to the army base there. Twenty! I seven more trucks will go forward late today. Army officers here believe that Columbus will be continued as an auxiliary base. They point out that no great reliance can be placed on the Mexican Northwestern Railway as a solo line of communication as it is in bad condition.
