A very sad accident occurred in
Oakfield township Tuesday morning.
While blasting up some logs with
powder, Chris Jessen became the vic
tim of an accident which has MANNED
him for life, and may prove fatal
He had just placed charge of powder
attached the fuse and was bending
over the log in the act of igniting il
when the charge exploded. His face
was nearly torn off, one eye was
blown clear out of the socket and the
other one was so badly injured that it
cannot be restored. The accident oc.
Cured about 10 a. In., and Dr. Kooh
; who was in the neig' b,rhood, wat
Immediately summoned to his relief
When first picked up it was thought
the injured man had been killed, but
he rallied amid great commissions o.
pain, and during the afternoon re-
gained consciousness. Mr.. lessen wa.
a young man in robust health anG
will probably recover from the terri.
bic ordeal. but it is hardly probable
that he will ever be able to see tn,
broad light of day again. AS long al
there is life there is hope, and hi
many friends are anxiously awaiting
the progress of his recovery.
No Humbug.
