party arranged as he wished and had
touched off ne cartridge. The fuse
lighted but seemed to go out and not
burn as fast as usual. Stepping up
to it to see what was the trouble and
give it some aid, he twisted it slightly,
at which it at once exploded with
painful effect. DR.. D. ]. Shahan was
promptly called and did what was
possible to relieve the pain and de-
termine the extent of the injury, but
that cannot be fully determined until
day or two. The accident occurred
about o'clock and no one else was
injured. He will be confined to the
house for some time. While the eyes
are well burned it is believed the sight
is not destroyed, as he could tell when
lamp was held in front of him or
when a lighted match was. 1t will be
impossible for him to see for a day
or two any way. 1t was sad end
ing to what had been an enjoyable
