Master Harold Wilson, six years
old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Will
son, All South avenue, North Man
kato, was seriously injured yesterday
afternoon about four o'clock, when a
fire cracker exploded and hurt his
left eye. The little boy does not know
how it happened, except that he was
shooting fire crackers in Kron's
park during the celebration yester-
day, when one of them exploded in
such a manner as to shoot his eye.
For a time it was thought that he
would be blind, but he was brought
to a physician in Mankato and his
wound dressed. The doctor thinks
he will be all right in time
Had His Face Burned.
The sixteen year old son of Gust
+. Hoffman had his face quite badly
burned yesterday by the explosion of
giant fire cracker. He had light
ed the cracker and thrown it down
1t did not go off as soon as the boy
expected it to and he picked it ND
to relight it. Just as he held it up
in front of his face it exploded and
his face and eyes were quite badly
burned, but there was no damage
done to his sight.
Curtis Snow, the fifteen year old
son of DR.. c. ID. Snow, had his face
badly scorched Wednesday evening
by cracker. The explosion blistered
one side of his face, but it is not a
serious injury.

MEATS TO REMAIN HIGH

New York, July 5.-That the
price of meats is to remain at top
notch is the prediction freely made
among the butchers of this and
other large cities of the East today.
Credence is given to the predic-
ton by the unusual number of
shops which are closing the first
week in July. The usual custom
is to close shops for certain hours
during the afternoon during the
summer, but this month even large
shops are closing down entirely for
the months of July and August.
The butchers state that the setting
in of the sultry season makes it
improbable that prices can fall any
lower, since under normal condi-
tons rates are necessarily marked
up because less meat is consumed
at this time.

TO THE MAYOR
From Fridav's OaiIv.

From Fridays Daily.
A petition is being circulated for
signatures asking the mayor to in
struct the police of the city to use
more care in handling those auto
mobile drivers who are unintention-
ally guilty OF minor infraction of the
traffic laws of Mankato. The petit
ton states that the signers want in
no way to interfere with the en-
forcement of the laws, but they feel
that the arrests that are being made
for minor attractions are making the
city place to be avoided by tour
lists who are afraid that through
ignorance of the technicalities of
the law they may be arrested when
they are not Intentionally driving
recklessly.
Among the signers are a great
many automobile drivers and own
ers, and the business men of Man.
kato who are not automobile own
ers are interesting themselves in
the matter. About two hundred
signers had been secured up until
this afternoon.
