DYNAMITE CAPS EXPLODE
"JaCK" Ellis Breast Badly Laceratea
and Otherwise Injured by
the Explosion.

Jack Ellis, the popular merchant
of Wade's Ranch, met with a pain
ful and dangerous accident on
Wednesday afternoon. His tent
caught on fire and he rushed in to
try and save some of his goods,
and while moving a box of dyna-
mite caps they exploded and cut
his breast up in pretty bad shape.
1t happened that "Bill' Glore
came along with a wagon very
shortly after the explosion and
brought the wounded man to town.
He was taken to CoWell's lodging
house and DR.. Jones was summoned.
The doctor pronounced the injuries
not necessarily fatal. "Jack" is
well known around here and a
large number of friends regret very
much to hear of his accident. The
loss from the fire was several hun
dred dollars.
