given a bad fright Saturday evening by
the explosion OF the whole box of fire.
works purchased by the village for the
celebration of Independence day. AS
result Frank Imhoff, a blacksmith of the
village, is lying in a critical condition at
his home and will lose the sight of his
left eye. Martha Elliott is also in fair
way to lose the use of one of her eyes.
About $50 the crowd had moved to
the lot back OF the. school house where
Messrs. Andrews and Jaycox had charge
ofdischarging the rockets, Roman can
dies and other fireworks. Other fire.
works were being shot off in the village.
Just two rockets had been discharged
when without the least warning the pile
OF rockets, Roman candles and other ex--
hibits began to explode. The rockets
and Roman candles were pointed direct
ly at the crowd which was just between
the building and pile of explosives. In
the panic that ensued Frank Imhof was
struck in the eye by one OF the big rock
cts. Miss Martha Elliott was badly
burned by Roman candle and she may
lose the sight OF one eye. Other people
were more or less burned or buised in
the rush, but none. of them seriously

Walton Pyre's Play Well Received

Itwas large and appreciative audi
ence that greeted Walton Pyres present
alton of "A Russian Honeymoon" at
Royal Hall, Tuesday evening, and the
approval registered in the applause as
the curtain rang down in the final act
was very fattering recognition of the
success of the performance. The comedy
is in three acts, the scenes being laid in
Russian Poland. The central theme Of
the play resembles that of 1.-THE Tanning
of the Shrew," a Shakespereian comedy
Of success, and in the development of
the plot holds interest to the last act
The production in the hands of Mr..
Pyre and his company is handled ad
mirably. The leading female role, taken
by Miss Elizabeth Shepard, is an exact.
ing part as Countess Poleska, but &C
ceptably carried. Miss La Toilette was
quite captivating as seen in the role OF
Micheline, the peasant girl. Felix
Krembs, as Koulikof was one OF the
strong characters of the play and decid-
eddy we'll taken. In fact, the entire sup
port was good throughout the play, and
the Edgerton friends OF Mr.. Pyre after
witnessing the production are free to
congratulate him upon his manifest sue.
cess upon the stage.

"A BIG BLAZE AVERTED.
Fire Works Start Fire in L. Il. Gettle's
Law Office!

EIrS w OEkS start a FIRE IN L.. Il, Gettl6'S
Law Office!
Carelessness in the discharge of fire
works came very near to causing an at
traction not down on the 4th of July
program in this city and the probable
destruction of considerable property by
fire. Shortly after midnight on the
morninglof the fourth when the night
hawks had just commenced to usher in
Independence day, someone sent rocket
through the window in the second story
of W. A. Shelley's clothing store, occu-
pied by L. E. Gettle as law office. A
half hour later dense smoke was discov-
cred issuing from the Office and fire
alarm was rung. A crowd was soon
gathered but the smoke was 80 thick
that it was impossible to enter the office
or locate the blaze for some time and
the hose held off until the cause of the
trouble could be determined. Finally
the fire was located among the shelving
books and papers in a room used as IL
brary and small amount Of water soon
quenched the fire. Later the rocket
stick was found and hole in the, win
dow furnished the solution. A large
part of Mr.. Gettle's law library was
ruined, involving a loss of about $3.50, on
which there was no insurance, the policy
which he usually carried having run
out. The damage by water to w. A.
Shelleys clothing stock will amount to
considerable but is covered by ample
insurance. An adiuster was here Tues
day arranging for the settlement of the
loss.

The open air vaudeville performance
announced to take place in the evening,
for which a stage had been erected on
Front street, proved the only disappoint-
ment of the day. The committee had
contracted to pay good price and were
guaranteed a good show. The crowd
was there and waited full hour before
the performers put in their appearance
and then-Well, tie least said about
them the better. 1t is sufficient to say
the committee refused to pay for the
imposition.
The dance at Academy Hall was very
largely attended, l65 numbers were sold.
Accidents from the 4th. were few in

torn by the explosion of a p blank cart

iously injured. In attempting to use
the filling of a cannon cracker in loading

ploded when it was rammed, mangling
his hand so badly that he will lose one

deep flesh wound that came near sew
ering an artery. His was lucky escape.

The Celebration Brings a Big Crowd to
Edgerton to Spend the Day.
The passing of the national holiday,
where large crowds gather and danger
Gus explosives enter so largely into the
celebration without serious accidents is
always subject of congratulation.
Edgerton entertained a large number of
visitors on Sa turday who were given Ii
cense to celebrate the day according to
their desires and it is a pleasure to
chronicle but few accidents to mar the
pleasures OF the occasion. The weather
could scarcely be more appropriate to
the needs OF glorious 4th, the rains of
the night before allayed the dust and
cleared and cooled the atmosphere
without quenching the lemonade thirst
or ice cream appetite. Country people,
who have learned that Edgerton enter
talnments are inexpensive and it's prom
lses generally performed, arrived early
and lined up on the streets ready for the
first feature of the day-the parade.
The representative business floats were
not as plenty as could be desired but
we're good and with two bands, the fire
department, etc, a respectable showing
was made.
At the morning gathering at the
Driving Park an inspiring and patriotic
address was delivered by Rev. L. A.
Parr and listened to attentively. Owing
to the wet condition of the grounds the
base ball game advertised as morning
attraction was postponed until after
noon. By l o'clock large crowd as
sembled and were treated to a very
closely contested game of ball between
the Cambridge and Edgerton teams. the
visitors however, proving themselves
hardly equal to the occasion. Following
is the score by innings:

Normal School Mr.. Watts spent two
years at the Weston Normal School,
taking advanced work in mathematics.
He was graduated from the Oregon
State Normal School at Monmouth in
'97. Later he was enrolled for one
year in the civil engineering department
Of Throop College, Pasadena, Cal. Mr..
Watts entered the State University in
the fall OF 1900, and during that session
took advanced work in mathematics un-

enrolment in the university he has been

"Ish," as he is known to the student
body throughout the state and to bis

is the son of Thos. j. Watts and a
brother Of M. L. Watts, of the Athena
public school faculty. He has within
him the bone and sinew Of a farm
grown lad, is energetic in all the word
implies, and starting with bright pros
poets thus early in life, will surely reach
the topmost round in life's ladder.

WIND AT WALLA wALLA.
Uprooted Trees, Twisted Warehouses
and Damaged Fruit.

Uprooted Trees, Twisted Warehouses
and Damaged Fruit.
A peculiarly destructive and violent
wind and dust storm visited Walla Walla
Monday evening, blowing about forty
five minutes. According to the records
at the weather bureau, the wind main
tained velocity Of thirty-eight miles an
hour for twenty minutes and attained a
maximum Of 48 miles an hour at one
time. The wind came almost directly
from the east, strange phenomenon in
this country.
Large trees were uprooted in different
parts of the city, electric light, tele-
phone and telegraph wires temporarily
paralyzed and several structures blown
down or damaged. Growing fruit was
blown from the trees in considerable
amount.
The warehouse Of the Washington &
Columbia River Railway, off College
Avenue, was twisted out Of alignment
during the storm, and is practically a
wreck.
In Athena the peculiar and rare oc-
casion Of dust storm coming from the
east was notable. Aside from this
peculiarity; there IS nothing to report,
for the threatening clouds did not give
down sprinkle of rain, and the wind
was not Of sufficient velocity to damage.
