Work Of tho Charter Commission.


The subcommittee of the charter
commission has finished it's labors
and will report to a meeting of the full
commission tomorrow (Thnrsday)
evening. If approved by them the
charter will be reported to the village
council, who may then order an elec-
tion to pass on the measure. The
charter is very voluminous docu-
ment, too long to give any synopsis
OF at present. 1t may be of interest,
however, to give the ward divisions,
as proposed by the subcommittee.
The First and Second wards are left
as at present. The Third ward is
divided on Trott avenue, the part north
OF said avenue, including Sperry's
addition, to he known as the Third
ward, and the part south of Trott
avenue to be known as the Fourth
word. This would leave the Second
ward as the largest in the village, and
it Is possible that an attempt will be
made in the committee meeting Thurs.
day night to take from Second ward
the row of blocks between Fourth and
Fifth streets and add it to the Third
ward.

descending took the precaution of
letting down a lighted lantern. When
it was within few feet of the bottom
OF the we'll an explosion occurred.
The lantern was thrown high in the

followed it out of the we'll. Both Mr..
Tibbitts and the man who was helping
him were looking into the we'll at the
time of the explosion and could not
draw their heads back quick enough
to prevent being seriously burned
about their faces. They say they could
plainly hear the gas seeping through
q crack in the rock in the bottom of
the we'll. Also that some crude look
ing oil had seeped through. They
came to town Friday evening to have
their burns attended to, returning to
their work again Monday morning.
Up to the time of our going to press
we have had no further report from
them.-Kerkhoven Banner.
