Two Bryant High School Stu
dents Badly Injured by Ac-
cident in Chemistry
DUE TO MISUNDERSTANDING
Reinhold Heise Mixed Substances,
Which Heavy Jar Caused to Explode
Finger On Right Hand Blown Off
Girl Student Even More Seriously
Injured, Eyebal Being Cut.

Special to Times Republican.
Algona, Sept. 19.-Owing to a mis-
take as to the amount of chemicals to
be used in an experiment, a seriou 5
accident happened in the chemistry
class at the Bryant high school.
The class was experimenting with
some explosive substances in a mortar,
and Reinlrold Heise, misunderstanding
the amount to he used, took large
quantity. He then gave the mixed
substances a heavy jar. and they ex-
ploded, blowing the heavy glass NOR
tar and other glass tubes and vessels
which We're on the bench, into atoms.
The end Of his first finger on his right
hand was blown off, and piece Of
glass struck him in the eye, cutting a
deep cash in his forehead, thru his
eyelid, and scratchir, the eyeball
badly.
Miss Anna -Rousch, who was work
ing across the table, was also injured,
even more seriously than Heise. A
piece Of the glass struck her in the
eye also, cutting thru her eyelid, and
thru her eyeball, and letting the liquid
from the inside of her eyeball escape.
Her eye is in a serious condition, apd
there is danger of her losing the en-
tire sight of it.
This is the first serious laboratory
accident that has ever occurred at
Bryant, tho several minor ones have
been rather frequent. The fault does
not lie with the instructor, as 1t was
simply a misunderstanding that caused
the accident.

Ames, Sept. ia pretty college ro-
nance was brought to light here, when
it leaked out from the inner circle of
the friends of Miss Inez Vincent, that
she was quietly married at Nevada last
Friday afternoon. to Mr.. o. Fl. Mantor.
Miss yincents home is in Shenandoah.
where her father practices medicine.
She is % years of age, and is junior
in the domestic science course at the
Iowa state college. Mantor, who is also
a junior, is the son of DIR. c. Mantor,
of Salt Lake City. The affair has been
kept quiet, owing to the extreme mod
esty of the happy young people. and
the announcement came as great tho
glad surprise to the many friends of
the two.
But, while Mantor, who is taking a
course in veterinary science. has car
ried off first honors, the conquest has
been by no means an easy one. His
rival did not come in the shape of a
mighty football player or star track
man, but doomed up in much greater
proportions in the form of one of the
coming great men of q great South
American republic. Mr.. Gudoy, the son
of an indulgent father and an extern
sive landowner in Argentina, in his
wide search for experience. dropped in
one day at Ames, for a few years So
journ while he should learn, for the
benefit of his republic, a few facts con-
corning modern agriculture. Mr.. Gu
doy, when at home is undoubtedly
lord of all he surveys" SO that it was
only natural that he should come here
with large surplus of self-esteem In
fact, it might be well to mention that
the one great fault which he found
with Ames was that it did not afford
him sufficient opportunity to spend his
$3.50 monthly allowance.
Now, Miss Vincent was very
charming girl, so it naturally followed
that Mr. Gudoy, spoiled child that he
was, should fall in love with her. A man
with a pedigree such as Gudoy has, and
especially a man who had $3.50
month to squander as he pleased is no
small inducement to the average girl,
SO that Mantor found rival entirely
worthy of his steel. But the heart of
the beautiful girl proved true, and now
while the happy couple are enjoying
their honeymoon together, poor Mr.
Gudoy is pining in faraway Argentina.
or seeking some place where he can
more easily get rid of his overburden-
ing allowance.
Mr. Mantor has arranged for a place
at 2O8 Ridge street, and the couple will
soon take up their residence there. Mr..
Mantor will continue in his course UNI
til his graduation, when he will return
to Utah, and take up the practice Of
his profession.
