ACETYLENE GAS "LETS co."
Explosion in Theatre at Ipswich, S. D.
Business Block Damaged at
Morris, MINI.

Ipswich, S. D.. FEB. 21.-An acety-
lene gas explosion last evening
wrecked the interior Of the new
operac house which was opened only
Monday night by the Mobiles Thea
ter company. One man received a
badly fractured shoulder and several
others were struck by flying debris.
An acetylen. gas plant used for
lighting the house and leakage
caused the explosion. There were
only about fifty people in the house
at the time of the accident, and the
members Of the company playing in
town were in the dressing rooms.
The explosion was Of sufficient vio-
lence to lift the second floor Of the
building four feet.
Four members OF Mobiles company
were slightly injured. Edison Will
liams of this place had his wrist dis
located.
Morris, MIMI. Feb. 21.-Yesterday
the acetylene gas plant in s. j. Steb'
bins & Co.'s store exploded, doing
about $500 damage. One Of the
tanks had sprung a leak and Mr..
Orr, the firms timer and plumber,
went into the basement to locate the
trouble. He letout all the gas fro in
the tanks, as he thought, and after
waiting for 1T to diffuse through the
basement, 80 as not to be danger
GUS, he lighted a candle and ap-
preached the tank. Gas had re-
manned in some place, for an explo-
sion occurred. knocking him down.
The compressed air in the basement
communicated, through the eleva-
tor, it's compressed force to the air
in the store room above, which, in
turn, blew into very small pieces the
en- tire plate-Glass front and also
bulged the rear oi the building al
most all inch out OF plumb.
Persons in the offices on the sec
Ond floor state the floor seemed to
raise up q foot, and that they
thought there was an earthquake.
Mr. Orr miraculously escaped with
only some burns on his face and
hands, though one Of his eyes may
be lost. With the force displayed by
the small amount OF gas, citizens are
wondering what would have hap
pened had the entire plant gone up.

as follows:
We started at $50 a. m. July 9th
to go TO St Thomas, about eight miles
in a straight line but we went around
to flank the enemy on the west side
The battery ard second battalion Went
on the road. I have made many a
hard trip, but this was the worst
ever tackled. We Travelled in the dark
for three hours through d small creek
that was almost all mud and waist
deep the most of the way. And then
we had five miles Of climbing. which
reminded me Of scaling Black noun
tain.
When I'VE arrived within about two
miles Of the town, they opened fire
on the head of our column. We were
at the rear end, but did the best we
could TO get TO the front. The first bat
TALON was fighting on and of for about
four hours, and were fortunate enough
not to have any one hurt There was
one private killed in i company. and
the captain was shot through the ear
and a bullet gTazed his neck. The first
lieutenant Of company 4 was also shot
through the right leg, going into the
left and lodging there.
My company was sent around to come
into the town from the other side. and
about all the fighting we got there
was at native soldiers on the run
and they can run. Just as soon as. we
would get close to they them would
hide their arms in the brush, run out.
