Out at the John Oslelly farm, north
west OF town, on Friday last the ex-
ploslon Of traction engine wrought
fearful havoc and cost Joseph v. Moore,
a young man about seventeen years Of
ace, his life. On that day Hradec Bros.
with their steam outfit, were engaged in
threshing Mr.. Calelly's grain. A few
minutes before ten o'clock that morning
a short stop was made for lunch, and all
who we're working about the machine,
with the exception OF Anton Hradec,
the engineer, and Joseph V. Moore. Who
was in charge of the water wagon and
was just hauling his first load. had re-
tired behind tire stack to eat the lunch.
Hrsdec was urged to come with the
rest, but desired to get the belt which
had slipped of. back on the machine
and asked someone to come and help
him. In answer they told him there
was time enough for that after lunch.
just then young Moore came up with the
water wagon and the engineer proceeded
to ill the boiler. He was standing st
the rear of the engine with Moore seated
on the tender when last seen by the
men before the accident that followed
Just as the crowd behind the grain
stack were starting to eat their lunch
there was a desfening report and i'm
medistely the air was filed with escap

From the News-JOurnal.
On the Monday night that the Hop
kins Bros. company played ball in this
city, Mrs. Benjamin heard men talking
and chickens squaklng near her chicken
house. She got up and taking 3S re-
vOlver from drawer she fired through
the screen door and then again through
the window. The thieves, two in num-
Der. dropped their booty and ran. As a
sequel to this little story We offer the
following: A certain man whom We all
know has been walking ali the week with
very decided limp. iOn being question
ed as 70 the cause OF his lsmeness he
tells the hard luck story Of being hurt
while working at certain place not far
from this city. Most people, however,
just smile and say: isn't Mrs. Benja-
min good shot?" A great many OF our
citizens have reported having chickens
stolen this summer, and as they have
an excellent clue to work upon now, the
parties who are so fond OF chicken and
haven't time to raise them, better take
the hint and keep out OF this kind Of
business il they do not want an officer or
vigilance committee after them.
John Muelich, living between this city
and Clarks, had very narrow escape
from fatal accident one day during the
last week. He was driving into this
city from his farm in a lumber wagon,
behind which buggy was tied. He
says that he was driving at about fifteen
miles an hour and for the time being had
entirely forgotten about the buggy on
behind-hence the trouble. As he came
around corner, the buggy became
/! mixed up with telephone post in some
manner, and the harder the team pulled,
the worse it hung on to it's anchor.
Finally the strain became so great that
the wagon was overturned, throwing
MIR. Muelich down with the frightened
horses. Kicking and stamping as they
were, it is not short of miracle that Mr..
Muelich was not killed instead of mere
ly being bruised mp badly. He WAS IN
able to get away and all he could do
was to duck his head and let the horses
kick. In the course of time friends
arrived and released him. He is now
around our streets on crutches and he
says that he would not 60 through the
