HAPPY CHET
Injured by a Dynamite Ex-
plosion.

The following from the Portage
Register tells of an exciting exper-
ience which befell Happy Chet"
who formerly resided in Baraboo:
&C Buys of Portage, better known
as Happy Chet," who has been
dynamiting stumps and rock near
Big Spring all summer, who has
handled dynamite for forty years,
was blown fifteen teet by the dis
charge of pound of the explosive
Tuesday evening. This is MIR. Buys
fourth accident and his easiest one.
His first accident occurred 35 years
ago when he had both legs and both
arms broken;his second occurred six
years later when leg and arm and
four ribs were fractured; his next
took place fourteen years ago when
he lost hand and in, his last acci-
dent he sustained a broken arm
duO SOuC UIulSGS.
Mr.. Buys had three charges laid, on
two of which the fuses were lig hted;
he was returning from the third,
which he had just touched off, to
see what was wrong with one
of the two that had been
lighted and was on his knees lean
ing over the drill hole, when. the
charge exploded, landing Mr.. Buys
fifteen feet distant. He was pick
ed up at once and cared for by the
until a doctor could be
summoned, who set the broken arm
and made the unfortunate man as
comfortable as possible. He came
to Portage today with Uri Morse
and will be cared for at the County
Hospital. He is wholly incapable
of caring for himself, as the arm
which was broken Tuesday, was the
one on which his only hand re-
mains.
The accident came very near in |
volving one of his rescuers, who saw
the accident and went at once to
Mr.. Buys assistance and had just |
got by the drill hole of one of the |
three charges of dynamite when |
the explosion took place and piece
Of rock, four feet square, barely |
missed him. He was not hurt.
