RAT PASTE BLOWSUP,
BLINDS MRS. LANCE
Well.Known Woman May Per-
manentIy Lose Sight Of Eye
by Queer Accident.

Mrs. H. d. Lance, of 326 North Mid
die street, yesterday afternoon suffer
ed an accident which may result in the
loss of the sight in one of her eyes
She was attempting to pry the lid off
of can of rat paste when the vessel
exploded.
The contents were strewn over the
front of her clothing and the metal Lid
struck her spectacles with such force
that one of the lenses was shattered
Numerous fragments of glass were
driven into her eye, which is now SO
badly inflamed and irritated that the
vision is almost totally destroyed, and
the physician Tears that the injury is
of permanent character.
He stated that if the shattered par
ticles carried any of the poison into
the tiny incisions in the eyeball, the
infection caused would probably mean
the destruction of the sight. 1t is
hoped, however, that the glass lenses
protected the eye from receiving any
of the poison contents that were
thrown into her face by the force of
the explosion.
The surgeon removed a number of
tiny fragments of glass from the eye,
and members of the family later re-
moved several more pieces and it is
feared that there still remains some
Of the particles imbedded in the ball.

The evacuation of Lemberg. 1t is

Of the Russian stand on the river
Tanew leads to the belief that the
Russian army will soon reach its own

it may prove the German citation over
victory to have been premature. This
belief is strengthened by the failure,
of the German army to make mater
