\ Field Cleared win Dynamite.

llndlanapOle Journal February 9Th.
Ex-Sherl1 John T. Pressly gave a novel en-
tertaiament at his farm, northwest OF the city,
yesterday afternoon, which was witnessed by
at east hundred Of his friends from the city.
Mr.. PreSsly has one OF the finest farms In Mar
Ion county, most Of 1t under cultivation. In
several fields, however. which had been lately
cleared, were number OF large stumps, and
after working at them for several weeks by
ordinary methods the rOtund ex-oflicial Sc.
cured the services OF professor" Jenney, of
Iafay ette, to blast the remaining stumps out
with dynamite. After blowing out number
OF them siDgly Mr. Pressly conceived the idea
OF blowing up all the stumps in a 4O-acre clear
Ing simultaneously, and this was the enter
talbment which the visitors witnessed yester-
DAY afternoon. The field selected contains at
least 80 acres, and not less than 40 huge stumps
ooIted its surface. Holes were drilled in the
rCotS or these. on level with the ground Into
which cartridges were inserted and cOnnectei
WIN battery oy means OF wires. The work
VI ame SHpioslon was entirely satisfactory. and
every stump Was blown TO atoms. Pieces flew
upW1aaio 2oo or $50 feet and were picked up sew.
