One of the worst Fourth of July
accidents in the county was that
which befcl w. Il. Martin, the well
known resident of McCausland, who
was talked of as county supervisor
at the time of the resignation of
Thomas McCausland. Mr.. Martin
was celebrating the Fourth by eX-
ploding some Dewey salutes, the big
gest of the cannon crackers. He was
holding one in his hand. waiting to
be sure the fuse was going to burn,
and had the problem solved for him
in about a second. when the thing
went off in his hand. The hand was
simply blown to pieces-so badly
that the bones could be picked out
of it with the fingers. Mr.. Martin
served in the civil war with the 2lst
Iowa for three years, without in
jury, and to lose his hand in this way
in these times of peace is certainly
a hardship. He is a carpenter and
50 years of age, and has a
wife and several children.
