rolment for the fall semester is larger

Mapletor Enterprise: Knute Rue,
who is engineer on the II. M. Quinn
threshing rig, was quite severely burned
last Sunday evening while babbiting a
box on the machine. 1t seems that
the parts were not absolutely dry and
when the hot metal was poured in the
babbit exploded and some of the hot
liquid entered Mr.. Rue's eyes. After
suffering a great deal he was brought
to town Monday morning and DIR.
Kreuger removed a piece of the metal.
One eye seems uniniured but the other
is still giving quite good deal of
pain. 1t is thought, however, that his
eyesight will be saved.
