Greet Aged Man Retiring
From Public Life.

Marinette.-Ten thousand persons,
half Of them school children, greeted
Senator Isaac Stephenson on his ar
rival here, to spend the declining
years of his life Never in the his
tory of the city was a man @given
such a reception
AS the aged, but vigorous, man
stepped from the train, factory whis-
ties shrieked, bells rung, men shout
ed and boys and girls in their best
bib and tucker waved their handker-
chiefs. Senator Stephensons first
act was to pick up little girl in the
crowd in his arms and shower kisses
on her.
The senator was escorted by a
band and military company to the
Marinette hotel where there was a
public reception. He shook hands
with 5000 persons at the rate of

BLAST KILLS ONE;
TWO NEAR DEATH
PREMATURE EXPLOSION IN ROCK
FIELD QUARRY THROWS VII
LACE INTO PANIC.
COMPANY HEAD is INJURED
Robert kraemer, President of Con-
Germ, Seriously Hurt-Houses in
Vicinity Were Rocked and
Many Windows Broken.

Milwaukee.-One man was blown
a distance of thirty feet and instant
ly killed and two others probably IA
tally injured by a premature explo-
sion of dynamite in the quarry OPP
Grated by the Mace Lime company at
Rockfield, Wis.
The dead: Michael Janich, 29
years old, laborer, living in Rock
| field
The injured: Robert Kraemer, %
years old, president of the company;
right arm fractured, internal injuries
and face badly cut; may die Nick
Dodroga, % years old, a laborer;
probable internal injuries and face
badly cut; condition serious.
Houses in the vicinity of the quar-
ry were rocked by the explosion and
many windows broken. Women and
children living in the foreign settle
| ment were in a panic.
A gang of about fifteen laborers
| working about the quarry were
thrown from their feet but escaped
injury. 1t was at first believed the
death list would reach large proper
lions, and all in the village dropped
their work and rushed to the scene
The mangled body of Janich was
found lying distance of about thirty
feet from where the explosion occur
red. Kraemer and Dodroga were
rendered unconscious and their
bodies were found several feet from
the explosion.
What caused the explosion is a
mystery. Janich and the two injured
men were setting a charge of dyna-
mite, preparatory to blasting rock for
one of the kilns. 1t is believed that
a piece of steel or probably nail be-
came wedged in with the stick of
dynamite and caused a premature ex-
plosion.
Janich was showing the charge into
place and received the full force of
the resulting explosion. The other
two men were standing beside him.
Janich had been in the employ of
the company for the last seven years
and since that time has had charge
of placing all dynamite charges.
Rockfield is small village twelve
miles southeast of West Bend.
