TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. A Premature Biast Kiils Ore Man and Dangerously Ipjares Another. | A scene which chilled the blood | in the veins ef a large crowd of | spectators occurred at a tenement | house, the property of W. F. Duvall| pear the west school building, in this city, Monday fornooa at about 11 o'clock. The scene wra a terrible accident | which had just happened to Jobn | Dunn and Milton Moss, two men| digging a well for Mr Duvall, by| the premature explosion of powder. | The two men were at work in the bottom of a well some 12 or 13 feet from the surface of the ground. They bad drilled a hole in the rock into which they had poured a can of powder, and for tamping purposes a quantity of small flint rock was thrown in the hole on the powder At the time of the accident Dunn was holding the tamping iron and Moss striking it with a sledge ham- mer. Moes bad only struck a blow or so when the bast went off The only eye witness to thesad affair was Willie Nix, a little boy 13 or 14 years of age, who was sitting on the frame work of the wndlass watching the men at work below When the explosion occurred Moss ran up the ladder fastened to the cide of the wall and going 15 or 20 feet from the well lay down on the ground. Calling the Nix boy he said, “Go tell mother, and tele graph Miss —— at Adrian,” mean- ing bis sweetheart. He never spoke again and died in a few minutes. Dunn dropped were ke was stand- ing and was taken from the well by men who came quickly to render a!l the aid in their power. Both men were terribly mangled by the blast. Moss was cut and bruised about the bead and shoul ders and pit of the stomach. It was the latter problably caused his death. Dunn, besides being bruised about the body, bad a large hole in his forehead from which about a table spoonful of brains oozed out. The bone of the right arm below the elbow was badly erushed and the flesh was all lacerated and torn off. The arm was io such a condition that Dr. Renick, the attending phy- sician, deemed a surgical operation necessary and the arm was amputat ed In addition to the above terrible injuries the poor man’s face is badly cut, bruised and swollen and it is thought his eyesight bas been de stroyed. The doctors have serious doubts as to his recovery. The two men lived within a short distance cf the scene of the accident and were taken home on stretchers Moss was a single man and lived with his widowed mother. Dunn has a wife and five small children. He isa very devout man, and occasionally preached in the holiness church. The family are very poor and will need help.

Not a bug has beenin the field this season. If nothing happens, said Mr. Simpson, we will be harvesting next week. The case of the sanity of C P.

Iowa is one of the states which made the mistake of electing a re- publican legislature last fall, and last wioter that same legislature made the mistake of trying te re- strict the free exercise of the right of suffrage by enacting alaw against fusion. The net result is that the other day the democrate, populists and free silver republicans got to- gether and determined to vete for identical candidates under the head- ing “Democratic ticket.” It pays to be fair and decent in politics, as the Iowa republicans are likely to find out.—Bolivar Herald.
