A CORRECTION.

When the Review reported last week
that Henry ]. Meyer of Milford, candi-
date for Co. Commissioner of the Third
District had landed in the ditch with his
Ford it was in error. It was Mr..
Meyers ''tin Lizzie" all right but the
chauffeur happened to be Shorty"
Brust. He had left Mr.. Meyer at Ben
Vetter's on North State Street at three
o'clock in the afternoon. Instead of
coming right back as he had promised,
Shorty went off on a Joy ride with two
young ladies and Mr.. Meyer heard and
saw nothing of him again until he learned
of the smash-up at 10 o'clock at night.
Fortunately the car went straight down
the embankment five to six feet and did
not tip over, giving the occupants merely
a thoro shaking-up. The front axle and
front wheels were completely wrecked.

STRUCK BY TRAIN.

Walter Pettis, brother of c.. A..
Pettis of St. Peter, was quite badly
injured last week Thursday evening
by being struck by railroad train at
Gibbon. Mr.. Pettis is stock buyer
for one of the large commission firms
at South St. Paul and he had been
calling on his customers in and around
Gibbon. While driving his car across
the railroad tracks an incoming train
struck his machine. Mr.. Pettis suf-
fered several broken ribs and his arms
were quite badly lacerated, besides
several other injuries. It is stated
by onlookers that view of the track
was obstructed by some box cars and
it was impossible for Mr.. Pettis to see
the approaching train. Unless he is
internally injured Mr.. Pettis is expected
to recover. The machine was quite
badly demolished.

GASOLINE IN WELL PIT BURNS
FARMER.

Gasoline that had leaked into the
well pit from nearby engine, exploded
Wednesday morning and severely burned
Albert Speckman about the face and
hands when he lighted a match to look
into the pit. The unfortunate man was
taken to Sleepy Eye about eight o'clock,
shortly after the accident and had his
wounds dressed by physician. He and
his brother, Herman were assisting
another brother, August with threshing,
and it was at the latter's place the acct
dent occurred.
The cause and nature of the accident
is extremely peculiar and scarcely be-
lievable to anyone not thoroly familiar
with the hazards of gasoline. 1t appears
that quantity of gasoline leaked out
of the engine near the we'll that was
used to pump water. The gasoline being
lighter than water, settled on the water
surface unauthorized. Wednesday
morning, Albert, who was assisting his
brother thresh, opened the we'll pit to
regulate connections below, but the pit
being dark, he struck match to see his
way, at the same time looking into the
pit. At that instant the explosion oc-
CURED, the flames ragged high, eating
into the mans flesh, his hair was burned
to the scalp, his face was scorched and
his hands likewise. It is thought that
he will recover, but he will be laid up for
several weeks. Mr.. Speckman is thirty
one years of age, married and has a
family. He conducts farm east of

TEAM RUNS WILD THRU MINNIE.
sofa STREET.

Not little excitement was stirred up
Monday evening when span of horses
belonging to A. C. Schreiner, the meat
| man, took it into their heads to run
away. The horses were tied to hitch
ing post in front of the Schreiner butcher
shop and as no one saw the team start
on its wild dash it is impossible to say
what started it. AS the team never
; before took fright at passing cars it is
the general opinion that some dog
must have bitten one of the horses or
some children playing must have frigh-
tened them.
The team was headed towards the
south and tore along Minnesota street,
everything and everybody getting out
OF its way. At second south the wagon
must have struck post and the box was
thrown to the ground: Turning at
second south street the horses ran up tc
Broadway and then turned down to
German street after going along for two
blocks on Broadway. After covering
a few blocks on German street the horses
again turned up towards Broadway but
after run Of few blocks again turn
ed down to German street and from
there started out for Aufderheides brick
yards. J. P. Graft, when he saw the
horses on their wild tour Immediately
gave chase with an auto and caught the
team out by the brick yard.
No damage was done besides that of
breaking the sides off the box of the
wagon. The harness altho tangled up
was not torn and after a few minutes
work was again fit for use

Sitting comfortably in a theatre chair
the spectators OF the new Lyman H.
Howe Travel Festival will view a most
remarkable natural phenomena at the
Turner Theatre on Tuesday Aug. 18th.
Theirs will not be the nerve-racking ex-
perience of the photographer who made
the films but the scene will be just as real
and it's interesting character just as i'm
pressive to the Howe traveller in the
theatre as it was to the Howe picture
maker on the edge of the crater of an
erupting volcano in Hawaii
With his camera at the very summit
Of the crater the photographer obtained
''close-up' views of the molten lava in
its fiery boiling state. The pictures were
made at midday and midnight so that
one may see the vivid contrast that
nature provides. These are the first
reproductions of the kind in animated
scenes and they mark 4 new point Of
realism for Howe presentations.
Other interesting features of Mr..
Howe's new program will be journeys
through the Hawaiian Islands, Spain,
Norway and reproduction of the day.
