Threshing Engine ExpIodes
Setting Fire to Flax Stacks

There was some explosion out in
the Dinsmore G. Croes flax field Tues
day afternoon. Fortunately no one
was killed or even injured, but it was
a very close call for several of the
threshing crew. They were threshing
flax with Harley Sutton's rig and had
just got nicely started on a setting
when suddenly, without any warning
whatever, the engine blew up, both
ends going out. The cinders and hot
coal were scattered all over the sepa-
rator and fax stacks and in a twink
ling everything was ablaze.
The pitchers on the stacks were
blown off by the force of the explo-
sion, or if they were not actually
blown off the dense cloud of smok
and fire caused them to get off in
double quick time. There were six
stacks of fax in the setting, the larg-
est in the field. Two similar stacks
had Just beer threshed, yielding rs
bushels, so they estimated that nearly
$50 bushels of fax were burned, which
at the present price uns the value
well up around the 500 mark. This
with the loss Of the threshing rig
makes quite a heavy loss.-Wessing-
ton Times.

MEN INJURED
In TRAIN WRECK
Oil Train Runs Into Open Switch,
Hitting Engine Standing
On Siding

A collision Of two freight trains on
the c. & N. w. in the Miller yards
Thursday injured three men, and con-
siderably damaged two engines. The
injured men were Conductor w. J.
Brown, who sustained a broken leg,
brakeman S. L. Mitchell, injured spine
and engineer George Barrows, scald-
ed and bruised. Other train men
jumped in time to save themselves.
An east bound special freight was
standing on q side track Thursday
morning, while its engine, backed
down the main track and ran in on a
switch at the coal shute While the
engine and caboose were standing
there, an oil special from the west
gave the through whistle. The switch
was open, however, and the oil train
swung in on the side track, crashing
into the back end of the standing
freight engine. The fact that the
engine and caboose pushed along the
track some fifty yards was all that
saved a more serious wreck. The two
engines and their supply tenders were
smashed, but no cars left the track.
The injured men were taken to Huron

Rec Heights Farm Sells
For $S4.OO Per Acre

The Gage farm adjoining the town
OF Rec Heights, was purchased last
week by Henry Scott, a pioneer far
mer and stockman, of Spring Hills
township. This improved farm of $50
acres brought sS4.15 per acre, and an
unimproved quarter was sold to Glib
son Bros. for $4,000 per acre.
This is an interesting transaction
to the public as a historical incident.
It illustrates the growing value of
Hand county property, and it demon
strates that perseverance and indus
try will produce uccess because Mr..
Scott, one purchaser, settled as a
young man some thirty years ago on
government land in Spring Hills
township, and worked out his own
success. The Gibson boys are doing
the same thing.

State Bank of Rec Heights, was in

above sale. He was accompanied by
his father G. o. Gage. OF Sabula. Iowa,
