capped with slight injuries. they remained
at home today to recover from the shock
Burdette received slight burns to ont
hand. but Beavers managed to keep away
from the blaze. Had the accident happen
ed Sunday, it is believed a fatality woult
have attended it, female members of thu
Beavers family having then been in thu
boat. The launch was built by and be-
longed to Beavers.
1.-The fact that I had put in so much
work on the boat" the owner said this
morning. makes the loss seem so much
more. Had bought the boat could re-
place it with the expenditure Of cash. but
l was six months constructing 1t, and
may not feel like putting in so much
time again.
While enjoying a trip on the river Sun
day night with members of his family
the propeller broke. and it was neces-
sary for Beavers to abandon the craft
Last night, after returning home from
work. he had Thomas Brown, his friend
go across the river with the 'Hinky
Dee to tow his damaged boat to the
wharf where he kept it. 1t was about
o o'clock when they started. and 1t took
them an hour to reach the disabled boat
Beavers remained in the disabled boat
while Brown looked after the running OF
his craft. Brown suddenly discovered
that his gasoline was running short and
asked his friends to get supply from
the tank in the boat that was being tow
ed. 1t was while they were so engaged
that the trouble occurred.
Spill the Gasoline.
The gasoline was drawn from the tank
in a small cup. and it is thought some
was spilled each time the cup was used.
Occupants of the boat had no idea they
were in the slightest danger. There was
a lantern in the boat, but it was in the
far end, almost as far away from the
gasoline tank as it could have been put.
1t was close enough, however. to ignite
the vapor and set fire to the gasoline that
had been spilled in the boat. The blaze
quickly reached the tank. Beavers and
Burdette promptly took to the water.
Burdette was near the bow of the boat
and his hands were scorched, but Beavers
managed to keep away from the flames.
Il jumped overheard from about the
middle of the boat" Beavers said. ex-
planning the accident to a S.ar reporter
today. Il caught hold of the boat and
made my way TO the stern, holding to Ii
until an instant before the explosion.
then made dive.
When the fire started the towline parted
and the Hinky Dee moved ahead before
Brown could stop his engine and return
to the assistance of the men in the water.
Because Of the darkness the rescue was
accomplished with difficulty.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

"Uncle Ike" favored Puelicher tor
member of the Republican national
committee for Wisconsin and La Fol-
lette favors little Ekern of Whitehall
and the party in the state can just
go to hades. Both Ike and Bob
should be given a strong hint that
they are not the whole cheese. even
if there is few magots in 1T.
One by one the southern states are
going "dry" The last to wheel in
to line was North Carolina by a ma
iority of about 60. 900. 1t must not
be- taken for granted that the white
man will go dry, but it is morally
certain that the black man will get
mighty thirsty. for prohibition is for
his especial benefit.
