Gasoline Explosion Severely Injuries
Three Men.

Gasoline Explosion Severely Injuries
Three Men.
Christ Helly, Oscar Fossum and
Ralph Stevenson are In q critical con-
dition from burns received as the re-
suit of an explosion which occurred in
the house they were occupying near
Hannah.
The three men were "baching," and
arriving home in the evening, started
to prepare supper. A fire had just
been started in the kitchen range
when a terrific explosion occurred,
throwing all three of the men to the
floor and envelopfng them in flames.
Helly, although stunned by the explo-
sion and suffering from severe burns.
finally succeeded in dragging himself
into an adjoining room from which he
reached the outside landing. The door
leading to the kitchen was locked, but
he succeeded in battering it down and
dragging his companions out and down
the stairs. Their clothing was on fire
and they were compelled to roll about
in the snow until the flames were ex-
tinguished. Then, in spite OF the des-
perate nature of their injuries, the
three men returned to the house ana
fought the flames, at last being sue.
cessful in quenching them.
The explosion was caused by the ig.
milton Of gasoline fumes which had
escaped from leaky brazier. The
room had filled with gas during the alb
sence Of the men and when tie fire in
the range was started and the air in
The room had reached the Hrorer tenn
nerature, the explosion occurred. Tbs
ceiling of the room was raisel several
inches and the walls bulged out by the
force of the explosion.
All three men were terribly burned
about their faces and hands, and the
exposed portions of their bodies were
literally burned to crisp. There is
some hope, however, that all may re.
cover.

There was an unusually large at
tendance of North Dakota teachers
at the twentieth annual session of the
North Dakota Educational association
at Fargo. The program was unusually
attractive and the interest never
tagged during the three days session.
Important addresses were delivered by
leading educators. More interest was
created in the subject of compulsory
attendance at the schools and the
methods of inforcing the law than any
other subject.
At the general association President
Berg's annual address was followed by
the annual address of the heads Of all
the departments. N. c. Mcdonald
spoke for the high school council, Prof:
Squires for the college and normaj
section, State Superintendent Stock
we'll for the superintendent and w,

Aaron Hayward, Cavalier; vice presi-
dent, F. E. Smith, Wahpeton; secre.
