Tuesday afternoon about 3o'clock
another Of those mime accidents
occurred, which invariably bring
suffering and sorrow to some family
or families, says the Galena Post
The accident occurred on the Tenn.
plar ground. Dan Scott and Nathan
Townsend were working together
In the ground. They had just put
off a shot, which did not do good
work, and were "squibbing" the
hole, Scott tamping with drill.
He said to Townsend that he didn't
like using the drill to lamp with,
but believed Il was safer than the
spoon, and had hardly finished his
sentence when the explosion came.
Scott's left arm from the elbow
down was torn in shreds, and hard.
ly a piece of bone left in II or the
hand. The flesh from the upper
portion of the right leg was torn
away, leaving the bone almost bare
and his breast and face were terri
bly, lacerated with small pebbles.
The most serious wound and what
caused his death was the entering
of small piece of rock between
the eye and bridge of nose, which
bursted the pupil and passed into
the brain.
Townsend, who was not directly
over the shot, escaped with less
injury, but his breast and face were
badly cut and sprinkled with small
gravel. and his eyes were also
blown full of small pieces of flint.
The men were taken out by
friends and DIR. Payne was called,
who had Scott taken to his home.
and assisted by DIR. Scoles did all
he could for the injured man, but
death relived the sufferer about two
hours after the accident.
Townsend was taken to the Office
of DIR. Allen, where several pieces
of flint were removed from his eyes
and other treatment rendered, when
he was taken 10 his boarding house
and is reported getting along well.
Scott was about y years of age
aud leaves wife and one child.

progress. He is still fighting the
electric road, and not only that. but
he opposes all emigration. He
magnanimously invites outsiders
to come to Galena and stay, but
don't want any outside investors to
put their money in the town. In
his own peculiar classic style he
says: IF you don't think enough
of us to cast your lot with us, don't
monkey around our dump piles. II
all you care for Galena is to back
your dump cart up for a load OF
Galena's wealth to haul II off to
build up some other town, we will
not be glad to see YOU
We do not believe this sentiment
prevails in Galena, for we still
think that although Weldy is small
"Galena is Great" Over one hun.
bred of our citizens have invested
in Galenn mines at the urgent solic-
itation of the citizens of Galena,
and they have put in great deal
more than they have taken out, but
il they had known Weldy was
opposed to outside capital, they
would have invested their money
in Baxter Springs, where investors
are always met with a cordial
reception.
Now, with regard 10 the electric
road, that is an assured fact so far
as Galena is concerned. II is being
rapidly constructed and will enter
Galena in spite of all opposition.
Suppose we admit the Joplin line is
bad for Galena, would not the same
argument favor the extension to
Baxter? Suppose Joplin secures
the Galena trade, could not Galena
secure the Baxter trade with the
large tributary trade of the Indian
Territory:
Even Weldy must favor the eXten.
sion to Baxter Springs, and if
Weldy favors il the thing is done,
Our citizens would do all in their
power to get the road and il the cit
liens of Galena and Colonel Weldy
wish to save their town from total
annihilation, they must join hands
with us and build the road. During
reunion week over fifty thousand
strangers would visit the Galcna
mines and patronize Galena stores,
shops aud joints. There has always
been a very friendly feeling exist
ing between Baxter Springs and
Gaiena and our people have always
delighted to honor Colonel L. c.
Weldy, but we want closer and
more intimate connection with the
greatest mining town in the West,
and we want il arranged so that we
can go and see Colonel Weldy at
any hour of the day on the electric
cars.
Now, Colonel, how do you stand
on the Baxter extension: Will you
favor II with both money and
brains? Will your business men
and capitalists join with us in
securing the line or will you con-
tinue small? We know the road
would take all our business to
Galena, but we don't care for that.
What we want is to be in position
to see you often, easy and quick.
Don't wiggle around and abuse the
editors of the NEWS because they
have struck il rich in the Galena
mines and you haven't, but come
right out square on the issue, and
If you are favorable we will have
the road before the snow flies.
