RANDOM RECoLLECTIoNs.
Continued from First Page.

ash mast was in the ground and
braces were being erected to hold
it in position. The flag which was
to fly from the top was loosely tied
in bundle with cord so that it
would not unfurl to the breeze till
it reached the top of the pole.
The halyards were attached, the flag
slowly pulled to the top, the cord
was broken, and it spread out in all
it's glory to the strains of the "Star
Spangled Banner" by the band and
booming of the cannon. Just as
this took place, Charlie Taylor
came running up Second steet to-
wards Louisiana avenue frantically
shouting "Three Men Shot"
"Three Men Shot! Instantly all
was excitement. The large crowd at
once began to surge toward the va
cant lot above mentioned, each one
eager to be the first to reach the
spot where the old cannon was be-
ing fired. Just then something
seemed to whisper to me, Don't
follow the crowd-get there first"
So taking q firm hold of the hand
of my little brother, we started, and
we surely did run. AS we reached the
edge Of the lot we were run into by
man in dazed condition, all cover
ed with blood, and with a portion of
his clothing on fire. He was one of
the gun crew. There had been a
premature discharge of the cannon
while it was being loaded, at the
very instant the flag had reached
the top of the pole and unfurled.
The exact cause of the accident |
have never been able to learn. The
men were so badly injured that it
necessitated the amputation of both
arms of Sam Farher, the amputa-
tion of the right arm, near thel
shoulder, of Fred. Holliger, who also
sustained serious injuries in the
face, and the severe burning of the
hands, face, neck, and chest Of
Henry Williams, who was at the
vent of the gun, while Holliger and
Farher were loading and rammingI
the charge of powder. The ramrod
was blown clear across Second
street, up against the residence oc-
cupied by Mrs. Reifsnider, and her
son, Levi Reifsnider. The scene l
had witnessed gave me an awful
fright, and | soon went scurrying
home. At the time l did not know
who the men were who had been
| Injured, but learned their names as
soon as dear old dad reached home.
One of them, Mr.. Holliger, being
an old and good friend of my par
ents, had helped teach me to walk
and my father was one of several
of his friends who were with him
for several day and nights after the
accident, to help care for him and
render such assistance as they
could.
A few years after this accident
Mr.. Holliger moved to Toledo, |
where he still resides. Sam Far
