There was large attendance at the
Superior rink in Laurium last evening

Joseph Reede Struck
by Flying Piece of
Drill Steel.
Missile Was An Inch Square


An accident happened at the Tama'
rack Junior mine yesterday afternoon,
which resulted in the serious injury oi
Joseph Reede, a miner. The accident
was one OF the most peculiar that has
come under the notice of the physicians
at the Tamarack hospital for some time.
Reede was working with the other
miners and had drilled hole OF consider
able depth when the drill twisted and in
order to clean out the hole they inserted
half stick OF powder TO blow it out.
The men were back some sixty ieet when
the powder exploded and were surprised
when Reede stated that he had been hit
by something. They were standing
back az far as they usually stood when
the powder went off aud thought that
nothing could come back TO them.
Reede was taken TO the hospital with
all possible speed and the physicians be
gan to probe for the piece that had en-
tered his leg. After probing for some
tire they at asst found piece OF steel
nearly an inch square. The steel had |
entered the leg in the thigh behind and
had gone in with such force that it |
worked it's way through the leg to the
knee and was taken out nearly foot |
distant from where it entered the leg.
The steel was evidently from the point
of the drill which had been broken off int he
hole before the blasting. The physicians
think that the injury will heal up in good
shape, but that Reede will be laid up for
a few weeks.

 He is net as big as General ShafteT, and he requires 3 greal Geal of help in the testing line. Several years ago his chief clerk, Mr. Joknscn, hit upon . pIaE that has worked smoothly. has saved money fer the score of clerks and employees and has driven one lunch rccr on Illinois street. near the con-
 nissary office, out of business
 ] The plan was the setting of a lunch for the men ir the main store room. EyeTv week tF-o Of the msn are told or by sys5am of fcfation to prepare the 4unch for the others. The conmissary in times Of peace bought every table dei5cacy uscd by the officers in their homes and sOld in the post canteens. Tle result was that the midday lunch at ihe c0n-nissaTy warehouse was the best in .own. The men became good cocks and vied with each ether in the prs raration Of new dishes. It was q regular everyday occurrence for some officer of the department headquarter. who had business with the conmissary 5c postpone his visit until neon ana

 The next day the soup was labeled vegetable, the meat had the same la voT, but was marked veal. There was a strccg flavor Of onion in the entres and the condensed coffee was not as novel as the tea the day before. Each succeeding day brought to light some thing startling in the menu
