Workmen Cannot Explain
Caues of Explosion
In Any Way.
EXPLOSION COMES AT
TAP OF THE HAMMER
Face, Eyes and Body of Men
Filled With Small Par
ticles of Brass.

Some excitement was caused by
peculiar explosion, Tuesday after
noon, at Abita Springs. The mys-
tery of the explosion causes the be-
lief that some high explosive matter
was placed in a certain brass tune
connected with the motor car sta
tioned at Abita Mr.. w. E. Duden-
hostel, foreman of the st. Louis COM
pany that purchased the material of
the motor line running from Mande-
vile to Covington, and his engineer
were taking apart the machinery to
be shipped All power was off and
the wiers were being cut, a hammer
being used in removing certain parts.
Mr. Dudenbostel struck small brass
tube with the hammer, when the eX-
plosion occurred with great violence.
Mr.. Dudenbostel had his face and
arm filled with small brass particles.
The left eye shows an elongatlon OF
the pupil and there is quite deep
perforation just above the eye. DR..
Bulloch attended to Mr.. Dudenbos-
ters injuries and administered an
anti toxin. In the meantime, under
the advice of the doctor, Mr.. Duden-
bostel has gone to New Orleans Ior
special examination of the eye. The
engineer also had many particles OF
brass or copper blown into his body,
but is not serious sufferer from the
accident.
The question is, what caused the
explosion? If the explosive was plac-
ed there, what could have been the
object?
Junior White, a workman in the
shops of the same company at Man
deville was injured by being struck
on the head with an iron bar, while
at work, Monday He suffered a
scalp wound, which was dressed by
DR.. HeintZ.

NOT MUCH MARDI GRAs.

Less interest seems to have been
taken in Mardi Gras day than in any
previous year, in Covington. Even
the colored people, who are ordi-
narily fond of masquerading, forgot
the masks and gay attire that had
been common practice with them.
A few children defied the passing of
the custom and made merry for a
short time.
Madisonville seems to have cele-
bfated more bravely and the mask
ball drew largely and made the even
ing gay and enjoyable.
The usual packed excursion to
New Orleans was also omitted as
the pageants of that city were also
withdrawn. The stores in Coving-
ton closed for the afternoon in honor
OF the occasion and few went fish
ing. 1t might have been bad day
for the fish, but even they did not
seem to have move on and refused
to bite

Marfii Gras Day.

Madisonville was herself once
more, and she clearly demonstrated
her ability to participate in carnival
festivities in such a manner as would
do justice to the larger cities that
specialize in this pleasure.
Masking was INDUCED in by the
younger folks and while there were
not as many as previous years, the
costumes worn by the maskers were
as pretty and, in some cases, just as
humorous as they were in days gone
by.
When we take into consideration
the terrible calamity of a great war
followed by disastrous epidemic we
feel that we are not boasting or
footing our own horn when we say
Madisonville more than held her own
in the Carnival Of 1919.

WAR WH0OpING INDIAN
CHASES 20 GERMANS
Works So Fast That Even the
Enemy Stops to Watch
Crazed Redskins Actions.

One North Dakota Indian Is match
for 20 Germans, according to letter
received at Mandan, N. D., from Sergt.
+. H. TOstevin, now in service in
france. The Indian is Charlie Rogers,
Il full-blooded Sioux of the Standing
Rock reservation, and a member Of the
Eighteenth United States infantry.
"YOu ought to have seen that Indian
the first time the BOche made a raid
on our trenches" writes Sergeant Tos.
tevin. Gle leaped over the parapet
swinging his old rifle over his head.
He let out a yell that he had saved for
years, and it was genuine warwhOOp
by one of the people who made war
whooping famous.
''The Germans We're pretty close be-
fore we mixed. Rogers, of course, had
his gun loaded with five rounds. and
his bayonet fixed. After swinging his
gun around his head couple of times,
he brought it down to his shoulders
and emptied his shells at the enemy,
swung it again, yelled and jabbed, and
used the butt of his gun TO smash the
skull of another.
II had my hands full all this time,
but the crazed Indians actions were
so fast that we half watched him, Ger
mans and we fellows alike. 1t was
only a small fracas anyway. The
crazed Indians actions terrorized the
Huns and they beat it for their lives.
"RoGers never got a scratch. 1t
was in fact very much a one-man
scrap, almost an exhibition. l never
saw man move so fast in my life,
and | guess the Germans hadn't either"
Rogers is now being utilized as a
sniper, and is enjoying himself pick
ing OFF enemy snipers, Sergeant Tos-
tevin adds, and says that other In
dams in the regiment are being used
for scouting and patrol duty because
of the natural instinct which fits them
for this kind of work.

Because your dollars stopped the war.
Your dollars made possible those ire
