oHIrr RELL BApLY HURT.

Fire Chief Bell had his left arm blown
almost to pieces yesterday afternoon by
the explosion of patent fire extin-
guisher.
Mr.. Bell was at the Polytechnic college
exhibiting the machine TO DR. W. IL.
Shadden, president of the college. who
was contemplating the purchase Of sew
eral of the extinguishers. IL was work
ing well; indeed, Mr.. Bell was just call
ing DIR. Shadden's attention to the force
Of the stream, when all of a sudden, the
explosion occurred. 1t was terrific and
the report was heard for several blocks,
Mr. Bell, who was stopping beside II
holding the hose, was turned around
several times, but was not knocked
down.
DIR. Shaddeu and another gentleman,
both of whom were standing close by,
escaped without the slightest bruise.
Tue machine was blown into the air,
Mr.. Bell says, fully 300 feet. IL was
battered and bent into every shape.
Mr. Bel hurried home and a physician
at once began dressing the arm. The
arm Is so badly bruised and mashed
that il cannot be discovered yet just how
many fractures there are, but five Is
thought 10 be the number. -Four Of the
fractures are between the wrist and
elbow and one Is just above the elbow.
The wrist is horribly mashed and the
elbow Is also badly brushed. Though the
fractures are ugly ones, II is thought the
arm will be saved.
AT late hour last night Mr.. Bell was
resting easily
The cause Of the explosion is attributed
to defect in the machine Mr.. Bel
says the pressure was no heavier than
that which is always used, and that a
weak spot giving way caused the eIplo
