HURT IN EXPLOSION
Fourth Explosion at Latin,
Rand Powder Plant In
AS Many Years
INJURED men WILL RECOVER

The village of Pleasant Prairie and
the surrounding territory had little
real excitement on Monday afternoon
when the old south press room of the
plant of the Latin Rand Powder Com
pany was completely wrecked by an
explosion. Two men Frank Smith,
chief engineer and son of the super
intendent of the plant, and Joseph
Steinbach, the boss powder maker of
the company were both badly burned
but they will recover from their in
-juries. The two men were standing
just outside of the press mill when
the explosion took place and they were
thrown to the ground by the force of
the explosion. Smith was very badly
burned, but Steinbach escaped with
some bad bruises and few minor
burns. The men were about to enter
the press room at the time the explo-
sion took place and had the explosion
occurred a minute later they would
have had little chance to escape DEATH
The officials of the company have de-
clared that they are unable to assign
any cause for the explosion. The
property loss to the company was in
the neighborhood of $4,000 and it is
stated that the mill will be rebuilt at
once.
The shock following the explosion
had the force of an earthquake and it
was felt miles away from the powder
plant. The village of Pleasant Prai,
RE escaped without any serious dam
age being done, but at Russell, ILL.,,
some distance from the plant windows
were broken. The shock was plain
ly felt in many parts of Kenosha.

through is to follow this path until
you come to an old elm tree; then you

The little maiden ran to meet her
sister. and they kept on the path,
which seemed to never end. At last
the turning came, and the little girls
went safely through the woods. They
saw a light in the distance. The elder

Hardly waiting to thank him, she
bounded Oft to her sister, and together
they followed the path.
They reached the edge of the forest.
and before them were beautiful hills
and green valleys.
Here they stayed, happy and con-

When they reached the place where
the older sister had met the boy they

What seek ye now?'
They told him their story and asked
him where they should go to find their

Smiling tenderly at them, he said:

one hung back as if in fear.
Now that we have come so far

And the stronger maiden
smiled a bright smile and
answered: 81 will go first and
try to find a gallant knight to es-
cort us through the wood and so
bring us to our happiness"
SO saying she departed with
never a backward glance at the
little maid who lay on the moss
and slept. Now, before the
stronger maiden had gone far she
perceived a woodman advancing
toward her. Fair was he and OF
noble mien, yet bore he marks of
service and labor upon him and
was nothing like the knight
whom the maidens sought, whom
they had pictured richly dressed
and cleaning with bright armor,
as knights should be.
What seek YEP" asked the for
est lad, and his smile was very
kind and luminous and tender.
