Michigan Naval Reserve IS
Blown From C11nOn's Mouth


Paulson was at the muzzle ramming
down the last bits OF wadding. One Of
his comrades had inserted the fuse and
was sprinkling the grains Of printing
powder when some spectator flickei
the fire from his cigar. II fell upon
the powder at the touch hole Of the
piece and before the crowd realized
the danger or before Paulson had any
intimation of the occurrence there was
terrific explosion. The reserve was
blown fully fifteen feet from the mouth
Of the gun. His lower Jaw was wrench
ed away.a great hole was torn In his
throat and his chest mangled. He died
before a physician could be summon
ed and only the little crowd of reserves
who stood over his body with drawn
bayonets kept the morbidly curious
mob from crushing him.
Chester Winchester, another member
of the division was badly burned about
the face and head but will recover.

Escanaba, Mich. August oS-Paul
Paulson, a member of the local di-
vision Of the Michigan naval reserves,
sacrificed his life yesterday to the Gu
riosity of a crowd and was blown from
the very mouth OF cannon which he
was loading preparatory to firing a
formal salute to Mayor Rose of Mil
Waukee.
The reserves had been called out to
act as a guard of honor to the speak
ers at the county fair celebration and a
gun crew was detailed to fire the old
brass muzzle loading piece which the
division claims. Closer and closer
came the crowd and the reserves found
themselves hemmed in about the gun
SO closely that 1t was almost impossi-
BILE for them to work. Repeatedly
the onlookers were warned back, but
the rear drove those in the front ranks
against the very wheels Of the cannon

At present here are four petitions in
asking that the town take
the necessary action to change to n
city form OF government. The men
back Of the movement are among the

the citizens to sign the petition a. all
agree that New Castle has been q Jay
town long enough and they want II
get out of the rural atmosphere In

The members of the town board are
said to look with decided favor on the
movement and all have signified their
willingness to vote for the proposition
when the matter is brought to the at
tention Of that body. This is the fourth
attempt that has been made to get q

vor of the proposition and each time
the petition has been tagged with
sleigh bells and laid on the table.
However it is believed the movement
will be successful this time.

SENSATIONAL STORIES.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 2S-Sensation-
al confirmation of the many stories
in circulation of brutal treatment of
workmen and confirmation of the
charge that men competent to give
damaging testimony were concealed in
filthy drill pits during the tour of the
Pressed Steel Car plant at McKees
Rocks while the Investigators were go
ing through the works was elected at
a special night session of the govern
ment investigators. One man, James
Morris. of New York, tainted from ILL
ness when on the stand and later was
found to be suffering from ptomaine
poisoning. -+-
The testimony proved that men were
held in restraint within the Schoen-
vile stockade by clubs, blackjacks and
riot guns. Weak and emaciated, one
haggard and unshaven strikebreaker
after another went on the witness
stand. Each had his own story to tell
about life within the stockade and
nearly all of them declared that they
were ignorant of the strike when they
were recruited in New York and Phil
adelphia.

BOOZE QUESTION UP

Judge Fox of the circuit court will
settle in a few days the question of
what to do with the booze" belong
ing to DR.. Jones of Whitewater, who
was tried last winter for alleged VIC
lation OF the liquor laws. In the first
case the jury disagreed and prosecut'
ing attorney Charles Ladd dismissed
the case when he entered the office.
Since that time, the booze has been
in the stronghold of the court house,
with the exception of the beer, which
the Minck Brewing Company secured
several months ago. Sheriff Linus
Meredith says that he will not take
the liquor back to Whitewater until
he receives instructions from Judge
Fox. although he is frequently asked
by Jones to do SO. The county author
tiles did not make the raid. but in
stead the city police were deputized
to secure the liquor.

DAMAGE NOT VERY GREAT.

A severe electrical storm passed
over the city last night from about
$50 to 10 o'clock, accompanied by a
heavy rain and high wind. The lightn-
Ing gave brilliant electrical display
and there were frequent flashes of the
most spectacular nature. Lightning
struck in several places causing the
most serious damage, however, to the
st. Andrews church. A telegraph
pole at the corner of Sixth and Main
streets was struck. causing a terrific
report which was heard in every sec.
ton of the city. Another pole at the
corner of North Fifth and D streets
was in the path of the lightning.
Were Badly Burned.
Both of the poles were badly burned
and the telephone and telegraph sys.
TENS in the city and surrounding
country suffered to a considerable ex.
tent as result of the fury of the
storm and the velocity of the strong
wind. The fire alarm system was also
put out of commission and it was
necessary to make the circuit local
one for each fire company.
/ While corn fields suffered from the
effects OF the storm and many OF the
large stocks were blown down and
broken, the rain was a blessing to
some of the other crops, especially po
tatoes which need a great deal OF
moisture Just at this time. The macad
amized streets and brick pavements
of Richmond were given a much need
ed cleaning. In this respect also, the
rain was a benefit. No damage was
reported in the city outside of the
Catholic church fire.
