did celebrate.

of. over a quarter of a hundred in

Spaniards in Cuba was our glorious 4th

One man did have his hand all shot
TO pieces, another had his head crushed
in by an explosion of dynamite. another
had his hide shot full of glass when he
thoughtfully placed a cannon cracker
in bottle, and there are a hundred
small boys with burns OF more or less
serious nature. but then we reminded
ourselves that away back in the year
1776 few Of our ancestors got together

ence, and so the end justifles the means.

Nicholas Emmerling and attempted to
set on large frecracker

burned down low, there was few sec
onds of delay and Mr.. Graves stopped
to pick up the cracker. Instantly there
was loud explosion and the former
teller of the Commercial bank in this
city was knocked to the ground
When he was picked up by Mr.. EN-
merling it was discovered that several
fingers on his left hand had been blown
of by the force of the explosion The
right hand was also injured, and Mr.

suit Of the unfortunate accident
Probably the most serious accident
that happened in the region was the

pected to be responsible for a large
number Of accidents.
