| | o R A e i AT BUENA VISTA| IN AN EXPLOSION Party of Chicago and Minneapolis | Well-known Traveling Man In- Men and Ladies Arrive for jured Yesterday at Home by an Quting. Gasoline Gas. A, B. Daggett, a well-known trayeling man living in Wagner'’s addition, had a harrowingexperi- ence with an explosion of gaso- line gas Sunday_ morning. He escaped serious injury -only by excellent presence of mind and the timely aid of neighbors, but as it is, is rather severely burned about the hands and face. Mr. Daggett was sprinkling gasoline around in his chicken coop to Kill the lice that infest the abodes of fowls, and had thrown out a goodly quantity of the liquid, when he lit a match. There was an explosion that was heard for blocks and the traveling man, burned and stunned, and with his clothing on fire, staggered from the coop into the open. For a moment he did not real- ize what had happened, then he saw and felt his burning clothing “speiler”in the country, will take [and rushed for an ash heap near care of their welfare. at hand. In this he rolied and Colonel King, the dean of the|rolled. crowd, is the possessor of the finest private game and fish pre- serve in the west. It is located twenty miles south of Cairo, Il and is known as “Olive Branch.” There are 11,000 acres in the pre- serve, and a horse-shoe-shaped lake almost entirely surrounds the land. Sportsmen from all parts of the country delight in being guests at *‘Olive Branch,” as there is the finest shooting and fishing to be had in the en- tire state of Illinois. It is possible that Colonel King will remain here all fall, as he is very anxious to haye a shot at a moose. A party of Chicago and St. Paul people, friends of Charles W.: Scrutchins, arrived in the city Saturday evening and Sun- dy and will spend the next three weeks in the vicinity of Buena Vista, fishing and enjoying the - excellent effects of the “simple life’’ in the open air. The party is headed by Col. Robita Taylor, one of the most enthusiastic sportsmen in the en- tire country, and his wife, and they are accompanied by Mrs, Evans, Mrs. Cowing, Colonel King, all of Chicago; Mrs. Valdo Turner, Miss Gertrude James, Miss Clara Howard, of St. Paul; Miss Lillian and Miss Vander- berg, of St. Louis. They will make the Summit hotel at Buena Vista their head- quarters and J. W. Speelman, than whom there is no better In the meantime, two neigh- bors, D. D. Harger and A. E. Winter, who had heard the ex- plosion, made haste to come to Daggett’s assistance and the flames were extinguished in short order. The burned man was doctored up by a Bemidji physician and is resting easily today. A pleasant outing party was given yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. Stilling and Mr. and Mrs. Earle Geil in honor of their guests, Mr, and Mrs. J. F, Casey, of Brainerd, and Miss Anna Perdy, of Duluth, They were taken to the head of the lake on the ““Columbia,” the party being composed of the fol- lowing: Mr, and Mrs. G. E. Kraetz, Mrs, A, Danaher and children and Miss Florence Grim- oldby. Friday eveninga chicken supper was given for the visitors en the Stilling lawn. Mr. and Mrs. Casey returned to Brainerd today. Their stay here was an enjoyable one and they carried away an agreeable impression of Bemidji. *“‘Boosting™ the Fair. L. G.
