TWO WHISKY KEGS EXPLODE.
SINGULAR Occurrence at Sioux City
One Man Hurt-Explosions
Two DAYS Apart.

.
Sioux City, May 30.--Whisky down.
ed Frank Bodi, 522 South Haword
street, recently, but it wasn't be-
cause he drank any of the fiery liquor.
He was knocked from his feet and
his lower limbs were paralyzed when
a whisky keg, and an empty one at
that, exploded in front of the Steph-
ems Kennedy liquor house, ST Fourth
street, and one of the heavy slaves
struck Bodi squarely across the knees
What made the accident doubly pc
culiar was the fact that less than two
minutes after the first key had blown
to atoms, another key, which had been
standing beside it, exploded with q
loud report and sent the crowd which
had collected at the first explosion,
scurrying in every direction. Men at
the liquor house are of the opinion
that some one threw lighted match
into each Of the kegs, but this theory
is secuted by Bodi.
The liquor men say little whisky
was left in the kegs and might have
become ignited at the least proxim-
ity of a match. Others have advanced
the theory that the. whisky had been
fermenting and exploded with the
heat Of the sun, and the latter guess"
is considered to be nearer the correct
solution of the mystery, as it would
have been almost impossible to put
a lighted match into either Of the
kegs. During the excitement of the
first explosion but few people noticed
that Bod had been injured. No one
was injured at the second explosion.
The head of the cask simply blew out
and few many feet into the air.

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1910-04-16
MAY BE NECESSARY TS
HOLD SPECIAL Term
Judge johnson Will Go Into Office
Second Monday in May, And Law
Provides That Court be Held Fourth
Monday in April.

Citizens of Hattiesburg and Forrest
county are interested in knowing
when and by whom the next term of
the circuit court will be held in For
rest county, and an investigation of
the question shows that a rather EN-
barrassing complication exists on ac-
count of the provisions of the law
creating the new circuit court dis
trict.
Heretofore, the regular spring term
of the circuit court for civil business
begins in April and continues two
weeks, Immediately after which the
criminal term begins. which brings
the date of this term up to the first
or second week in May.
The law creating the new district
in which Judge Johnson will preside
goes into effect on the second Mon
day in May, and provides that the
spring term of court be held begin
ming on the fourth Monday in April
and continue for eight weeks Thus
it will be seen, Judge Johnson
will not go into Office prior to the
time provided for holding court, but
he will be in office before the regular
term Of court expires.
order to provide for this compli-
cation, it may be necessary to call q
special term of court to be held i'm
mediately after the bill takes effect
This, it is said, can be done by Judge
Cook. whose regular civil term of
court for this county will be conclud-
ed before May.
This arrangement would necessari-
in the regular term, but it is quite
generally believed by attorneys that
such will be necessary, as the law
goes into effect before the criminal
term will be concluded if it should be
held at the regular time, as hereto
fore, and would put Judge Cook in
the attitude of holding court in a
county outside of his district.
The proposition is somewhat en-
barrassing, but it is believed that
some satisfactory arrangement may
be made so that a special term will
be held so as not to defer until next
fall the disposition of cases already
on the docket, of which there are
said to be quite number which
should receive attention before that
time.

POLITICAL BALL
STARTED ROLLING
First Candidate for Commissioner is
old-Time Resident of Hattiesburg,
and a Clean, Moral, Christian Gen.
tleman.
tlenan.

In today's issue of The News, the
announcement of M. L. Ward, as
candidate for commissioner of the
city of Hattiesburg appears, Mr..
Ward being the first to announce for
office under the commission form of
government, and thereby opens the
municipal campaign in Hattiesburg.
Mr.. Ward is so well known to the
citizens of Hattiesburg that any at
tempt by The News to eulogize his
good qualities would be superfuous.
He has been a resident of this city
for many years, and is generally rec
ognized to be gentleman of sound
business judgment and unquestioned
moral character.
In announcing for this office Mr..
Ward states that he is not a politi-
clan, nor is he hungering for office;
yet, if elected to this office, he could
appreciate the honor as much as any
one. He has been constant adyo-
cate for che commission form of gov
eminent for two years, in fact, since
the law authorizing cities to adopt it
was passed by the legislature.
In speaking of his candidacy. MI.
Ward had this to say: u know |
have the enthusiasm, and ! believe |
can help make the commission form
of government success in Hatties-
burg, and to this end would pledge
my best efforts to a clean, economic
government. | shall be astride no
fence, and shall be pleased to discuss
any plans pertaining to our welfare,
either in politics or in private mat
ters"
In applying for this position Mr..
Ward states that it will not be his
desire or intention to worry anyone
with long-winded efforts to favorablv
impress the voter, as he has more
confidence in the citizenship of Hat
tiesburg than to believe the voters
could be Influenced by any such poll
cy.
Mr.. Ward asks for this position on
the grounds of his ability and integri-
ty of purpose. and will greatly appre-
ciate the support of any voter who
may see fit to favor him at the August
primary.
