NEARLY 'ZEPPELINED';
MAYOR MITCHELL HAS
EXCITING EXPERIENCE

The shooting off of large home
made firecrackers proved almost dis
astrous to Mayor Mitchell Thursday
morning when a four-inch piece of q
inch gas pipe, ripped open at one end,
barely missed striking the head of
the city after it had been set off by
some small boys on Main street. The
pipe had evidently been filled with
black powder. The piece of pipe fell
at the mayors feet Had it struck
him, it would undoubtedly have
caused a serious injury.
