One of the local butchers took a
fine appearing COW to the slaughter
house a day OF. so ago and had heI
slaughtered, but it was. found that the
animal was IN terrible condition from
tuberculosis, large pus pockets having
formed in the lungs and large tubercles
clinging to the ribs. The animal, while
to all outward appearance fat and
sleek, was so diseased as to be utterly
unfit for human food.
There is a general feeling that there
ought to be a law requiring that al
animals slaughtered for human food
should be inspected at the time of xii.
ling, for the protection OF the health
of the public. 1t is stated that if all
of the local butchers will take their
cattle to the packing house to be
slaughtered, the government inspector
can be retained. This, it would seem
ought certainly to be done.
The sale of meat from uninspected
cattle, whether, by local dealers or by
farmers, ought to be. made impossible
by city ordinance or by law.

disastrous result of attempting to
start fire with kerosene OIL The
fire occurred at the home of John
Johnson, at Guckeen. At about six
o'clock in the morning the twelve
year old son of John Johnson, the Sec
ton foreman, got up to start the
fire as had been his habit.
Soon the balance of the family
were startled by loud explosion, the
distressing scream of the child and
beheld the interior of the room to be
a sheet of flame. As quickly as pos
sible the parents rushed to the aid of
the burning boy and they themselves
were seriously burned in trying to
save him. The younger children sud-
denly awakened, ran frantically about
and in some manner not easily ex-
planned. were also quite badly burned.
Escaped Through Window.

hands, was sleeping upstairs and so
quickly did the fire spread that he
was compelled to kick out window
sash and jump to the ground He was
not hurt.

nothing could be done to save the
house and it was soon totally de-
stroyed, together with its contents.
The kind hearted friends cared for the
family and supplied them with what
clothing they could, all having es-
capped in only their night clothes.
Monday morning everything needed
in the way of clothing was sent them
from Blue Earth.
Medical Aid Was Furnished.
Medical aid was furnished the fam.
lily as soon as possible. None were
fatally burned except the boy who
was rescued in a most pitiable con-
dition, his arms, face and much OF
his body being blackened and char
red. Nothing could be done for him
but to relieve his suffering and the
poor little fellow died Sunday night.
In addition to losing all of the
household goods, clothing, bedding,
ETC., Mr.. johnson had $l95 in bills
in the house which was also lost
The johnson family have not lived
great while in this country. They

The kitchen of the Corner cafe. Of
which r. b. Flint is proprietor, was
wrecked by the explosion of the wa
terback on the range at about 9:3O
O'Clock this forenoon. The pipe giving
an outlet for the steam may have got
ten stopped up. The explosion was OF
such force that the range was COM
pletely wrecked and the noise was
heard for a block or more, while a
big puff of smoke issued from the
building.
In the kitchen at the time were
Jack Jost, Henry Theissen and Joe
Murphy. Theissen was cooking break
fast for his wife and was opposite the
front of the range. Murphy was wash
ing dishes on the opposite side of the
range from the waterback, and Jost
was standing in the entrance in line
with the range and only few feet
from the waterback. A coal fire was
burning in the range.
Leg Was Broken.
When the explosion occurred, the en-
tire side of the range was torn off
and the top and firebox torn, wrenched
and twisted off. Pieces of steel were
flung with terrific force through the
entrance, and one struck Jost on the
left leg between the knee and hip and
caused bad fracture. The other two
men were uninjured, but were severely
stunned by the shock of the explosion.
Red hot Goals were thrown about,
and these started blaze. The CEN
trail station iiremen were summoned
and quickly got the fire out with a
chemical. In the meantime ,Coy's am
bulance was called and came with the
horses on gallop and conveyed the
injured man to Emmanuel hospital,
where DIR. G. j. Holman treated his
injuries.
Loss Will Aggregate $500.
Mr.. Flint states that the damage to
the range and kitchen fixtures and
plumbing and the loss from fire and
smoke will aggregate 5000. He is fully
covered with fire insurance.
Messrs. Theisscn and Murphy had an
extremely narrow escape. Mr.. Jost's
friends regret his injury and wish him
speedy recovery. DIR. Holman states
that his injury consists of fracture
squarely across the thigh bone, three
inches above the, knee, and hole
punctured through the flesh just above
the knee joint and on the outward
side from the bone, made by a piece
of metal. He states that Mr.. Jost will
be laid up from six to ten weeks. Mr..
Jost does not carry accident insurance,
unfortunately.
