Lost an Arm In a Corn Shredder.

Another of those shocking accidents
which the deadly corn shredder is re-
sponsible for. took place on the Fred
MADISON farm on Albion Prairie Monday
forenoon, and as a result Charles Tall
of this city will lose his left hand. The
Tall Bros. were operating a shredder on
the place and had stopped the machin-
cry waiting for another wagon to drive
up when Charles embraced the oppor-
tunity to oil the shredder, though this
fact was unknown to the other employ
ees. He had crawleo under the machine
and had his hand in the moving parts
when the power was started, which
caught his hand in such manner as to
badly crush and mangle the arm before
his dangerous position was known. The
bones of the arm were broken so finely
that Drs. McChesney and Cleary, who
were called, found it necessary to am.
putate the arm about six inches below
the elbow. The patient revived from
the shock OF amputation quite satlsfac-
tory and will liz a few days be able to
be removed to his home in this city.
The misfortune of losing a hand will,
however, be serious handicap through
life.

FARMERS GAS PLANT ExPLoDEs.
Loss of Life and Property in Burke.

Loss OF Life and Property in Burke.
One of the worst accidents in the his
tory of Dane county caused the death of
child, injured four and destroyed the
home of Frederick Niebuhr ST. in the
town of Burke, shortly after 6 o'clock
Sunday night. The cause of the calam-
ity was the explosion of an acetylene gas
plant.
While MIR. Niebuhr was in the barn
milking, one of ais sons informed him
that gas was escaping. He went to the
cellar and turned on one eff the valves as
test, and then returned to work. A
few minutes later a second summons
came from the house. With lantern
in his hand Mr.. Niebuhr started for the
cellar, but hardly had he descended the
steps when an awful explosion occurred,
and mass of flames surrounded him.
The lantern was knocked out of his
hand, the house shook and a deafening
noise was heard. With face and hands
burned and suffering untold agony, he
endeavored to grope his way out of the
burning debris. After much difficulty
he succeeded On the outside he met

also badly burned. Together they at
tempted to enter the house, but the in
tenss heat drove them back.
Mrs. Niebuhr and the other children,
with the exception of the baby, were in
the summer kitchen when the explosion
occurred. The roof fell in upon them
and they experienced much difficulty in
making their escape from underneath.
All were now safe except the baby which
had been in cradle in the sitting room.
Erick johnson, the farm hand, had re-
tired few minutes before the accident.
He heard an explosion and was immedi-
ately thrown out in the open, badly
burned and cus He was carried away
with the whole side Of the house which
had been blown out.
The explosion was heard a mile and
half away, and told the neighbors of the
calamity. Portions of the house were
thrown in all directions. One of the
window frames was hurled thirty feet
away and remained hanging or tree.
The fire spread quickly and destroyed
the homo and surrounding buildings
with lightning rapldity
The loss amounts to $4,000. There is
an Insurance of $1,000. Mr.. Niebuhr
also lost about S25 in paper money. A
small sum In silver was recovered from ).

Prairie road about mile east of the
Burke town hall and is about five miles
from the capitol.
