months by contractor under powers derived from

MINERAL POINT, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 13 1879

DURING the great Grant recepsion
at Galena last week lamentable
acciden, happened. II was in the
evening in the midst of the display
of fire works, and postmaster Hunt
inSton, who was managing the diff
cult job, was the victim. The Gazette
gives the particulars as follows :
"Owing to the Insufficient means
provided for the setting off Of rock
cts, an explosion took place about 9
o'clock, setting fire to the grand arch
from the top of which the display
was being made. Mr., Huntington
was severely burned about the hands,
feet and face, and would have been
fatally injured but for the bravery
of one of our citizens (whose name
we have been unable to obtain) who,
at the risk of his own life, rushed
up the stairway and to the center Of
the arch aud pulled Mr.. Huntington
out of the burning mass into which
he had fallen. Mr.. Huntington's
injuries were temporarily dressed,
after which he was conveyed in a
carriage to his residence, where he
is now lying in very critical con-
dition. His face is badly swollen,
rendering it impossible for him to
see. His feet and hands are burned
to the bone and covered with blisters.
Dr.. Crawford is in constant attend
ance upon the sufferer, and expresses
hope for his ultimate recovery. Mrs.
II. was also on the arch, seated in
chair near the head Of the stairway,
and was considerably injured by
falling down the steps, sustaining
sprained ankle"
Aside from this accident it was
the most jubilant sud grand day
Galena ever witnessed, and it's quite
probable she will not experience the
like again for many year. if ever.
