EXPLOSION KILLS BOY
OTHERS ARE INJURED
Explosion of Can of Powder at Arne'
son Mine Near Plentywood Caus-
es Fearful Accident.

One of the most fearful accidents
that has ever been recorded in the his
tory of this country occurred at the
Martin Arneson mine, nine miles from
Plentywood, on Sunday afternoon, at
about 4 o'clock, says the Plentywood
Pioneer Press.
Ike Ruggles, a miner, and Andrew
Onstad, a hired hand, had gone to the
mine in the afternoon to prepare fol
the Monday morning delivery. The
four Arneson children, Marvin, aged
six; Leonard, aged a; Gilbert, agec
10 and Lawrence, aged IL, accompan.
led them.
At a depth of about 200 feet ir
the mine Mr.. Ruggles prepared two
charges of blasting powder which he
set aside and commenced work on two
more. How the accident occurred will
probably never be known, but it i:
thought the lamp fell from his cal
into the powder, igniting it. A rs.
pound can of powder was near ant
the fire jumped from the charges tt
this can, exploding it.
Marvin Arneson was standing be-
yond Mr.. Ruggles from the can, bu1
in the direct line of explosion. His
injuries We're so serious that he dice
before the arrival at the hospital.
Mr.. Ruggles' injuries are very Sc
we're. The explosion rendered him un'
conscious and while in that condition
it is believed he inhaled the fumes Of
the burned powder for his right lung
is almost destroyed. He also suffered
severe burns about the body.
Leonard was slightly burned about
the face, and back of hands. His in.
juries were not severe enough to nee
essitate hospital care.
Lawrence was burned on the face
neck, upper back, hands and arms
The burns on the arms destroyed the
flesh, leaving the bones exposed, ant
the burns on the hands are severe.
Gilbert suffered burns of the face
and hands and, although his face i:
totally unrecognizable, his condition
is not so bad as that of Lawrence.
MI. Onstad, who was about 20 fee
back and without the line of explo
sion, was u%ninjured.
At the time of the explosion Law
renee and Gilbert were from rs t.
100 feet away, but in direct line. II
spite of his serious injuries Lawrenc
ran the entire distance to the ext
without respiration, in order to pre-
vent the inhalation of. gases. Whel
he arrived on the outside he rolled i
snow to extinguish the fire in hi
clothing and then ran about a quartz
of a mile to the house for help.
In the meantime M. Onstad tor
the burning clothing from Mr.. Rug
giles, Marvin, Leonard and Gilbert, an
carried the bodies to the exit of tn
mine. Believing that Lawrence wa
still in the mine he returned to scare
for him and it was only upon the al
t rival of Mr.. Arneson who called dow
= to him that Lawrence was safe ths
he returned to the exit.
f The injured were taken to the no:
S pital at Outlook, Marvin dying jus
: before the hospital was reached. TT
: funeral was held at Outlook Wedne'
day at 2 o'clock, interment being b.
ing made in the Lutheran cemetre
S there.

more prosperous, PAIR or swans and

wild life Of the park. But in the sum-
mer of 1919, few small birds and
possibly half dozen pairs of squir-

wild creatures. And at the moment
this story opens, one Of these squir-

slanted through the sunlit park. The
squirrel was hungry. He wished that
some one would come along with a
nut.
There was bench beneath the tree.
If there had not been, the life of Dan
Failing would have been entirely diff

things hadn't been as they were, Dan
Failing would have never gone back
to the land of his people. The little

Tucson, Arizona-Reports circu-
lated here that Japanese mechanics
seek to break the iron-like obligation
of the international Association OF
Machinists by forcing their way into
the organization as shop machinists
on the railroads running Through the
northern part of the state have caus-
ed alarm in the shop fede rations OF
the southern Jurisdiction of Arizona
and New Mexico. No Jap anese has
ever been admitted to the lodges OF
southern jurisdiction and none has
applied. The ritual of the association
declares the organization open only tC
white, sober and Industrious ma
chinists"
The reoprt of the Jap anese activity
originates in Winslow, in the fa1
northern part of the state, from the
shops of the Santa Fe, where no less
than forty machinists are employed
These forty Japanese applied in a
body to be taken in the local lodge oi
the association as nuion members
The lodge was almost unanimously
opposed to admitting them and re-
sented their presence in the shops.
The petition was referred to the
executive board of the association
at Washington, which is reported to
have directed the lodge to use its
own judgment
The petitions are still before the
lodge, and the possibility of their car
rying has stirred the southern juris-
diction. The step would open the
shops of the Southern Pacific and
Arizona Eastern railroads, as we'll as
the railroad shops of the country, to
the ellen race.
"The ritual is perfectly clear upon
the admission of candidates." declar-
ed R. R. Kennedy, president and bust
mess agent Of six shop federations
which includes the machinists, "and
certainly should bar Japanese as
well as others who are not white
eve have no Japanese in our lodges
in the southern jurisdiction, but we
will, of course, meet the problem
when it comes up, if it ever does"
The lodge at Winslow taken in the
Needles district. The employment of
many japanese in the shops there is
explained by the assertion that the
climate there is too hot for white
men to remain the year round The
Japs never before have sought to en-
ter union ranks.

sparkled with delight. And he forgot
all about the doctors words and his
own prospects in his bitter regrets
that he had not brought pocketful
Of nuts.
And then Dan did a curious thing.
Even later, he didn't know why he did
1t. or what gave him the idea that he
could decoy the squirrel up to him by
doing 1t. That was his only purpose
Just to see how close the squirrel
would come to him. He thought he
would like to look into the bright eyes
at close range. All he did was sud
denly to freeze into one position-in
an instant rendered as motionless as
the rather questionable-looking stone
stork that was perched on the foun-
tain.
The squirrel was very close to him,
and Dan seemed to know by instinct
that the movement of a single muscle
would give him away. So he sat as if
he were posing before phOtogra-
oher's camera The fact that he Wae
able to do 1t is in itself important. It

enough to relay
Thus b


-.e didn't put such a severe
strain on his muscles.
The squirrel, after ten seconds had
elapsed, stood on his launches to see
better. First he looked a long time
with his left eye. Then he turned his
head and looked very carefully with
his right. Then he backed off short
distance and tried to get a focus with
both. Then he came some half-doZen
steps nearer.
A moment before he had been GER
tain that a living creature-in fact
one of the most terrible and powerful
living creatures in the world-had
been sitting on the park bench. Now
his poor little brain was completely
added. He was entirely ready to be-
lieve that his eyes had deceived him.
Bushy-tail drew off a little further,
of a nut from a child's hand were
blasted. But he turned to look once
more. The figure still sat utterly in
ert. And all at once he forgot his de-
vouring hunger in the face of an over
Whelming curiosity.
He came somewhat nearer and
looked long time. Then he made a
half-circle about the bench, turning
his head as he moved. He was more
puzzled than ever, but he was no
longer afraid. His curiosity had be-
come so intense that no room for fear
was left. And then he sprang upon
the park bench.
Dan moved then. The movement
consisted of a sudden heightening of
the light in his eyes. But the squir-
rel didn't see it. 1t takes muscular
response to be visible to the eyes Of
the wild things.
The squirrel crept slowly along the
bench, stopping to sniff, stopping to
stare with one eye and another, just
devoured from head to tail with Curl
knee.
He was quite convinced, by now,
that this warm perch on which he
stood was the most singular and in
teresting object Of his young life. 1t
was true that he was family worried
by the smell that reached his nostrils.
But all it really did was further to in
cite his curiosity. He followed the
leg up to the hip and then perched on
the elbow. And an instant more he
was poking a cold nose into Dams
neck.
But If the squirrel was excited by
all these developments, its amaZement
was nothing compared to Dams. 1t
had been the most astounding incl
dent in the mans life. He sat STILL
tingling with delight. And in single
flash Of inspiration he knew he had
come among his own people at last. He
knew where he would spend his last
six months of life.
His own grandfather had been q
hunter and trapper and frontiersman
in certain vast but little known Ore
gon forest. His son had moved to the
eastern cities, but in Dams garret
there used to be old mementoes and
curios from these savage days-a few
claws and teeth, and a fragment of an
old diary. The call had come to him
at last. Tenderfoot though he was
Dan would go back to those forests
to spend his last six months of life
among the wild creatures that made
them their home.

winters, wherein the snow lay for emu
less miles over an endless wilderness,
and here and there were strange
many-toed tracks that could be
lowed in the icy dawns. P'
1t was just fan"- lol-
least mis'e -1ut of course
be -y. He wasn't in the
ed about it. He knew that
& had never, in his lifetime, seen
the wilderness. Of course his grand
father had been frontiersman of the
first order, and all his ancestors be-
fore him-a rangy, hardy breed whose
wings would crumple in civilization
but he himself had always lived in
cities. Yet the falling SHOWS, soft and
gentle but with kind of remorseless-
ness he could sense but could not un-
derstand, had always stirred him.
He'd often imagined that he would
like to see the forests In winter
In him you could see a reflection of
the boy that played beside the pond
, His dark gray eyes were still rather
large and perhaps the wasted flesh
around them made them seem larger
I than they were. But 1t was a little
hard to see them, as he wore large
glasses. His mother had been sure,
years before, that he needed glasses; !;
and she had easily found an oculist
that agreed with her.
Now that he was alone on the path,
the utter absence of color in his
cheeks was startling. That meant the
absence Of red-that warm glow of
the blood eager and alive in his
veins. Perhaps an observer would
have noticed lean hands, with big
knuckled fingers, rather firm mouth,
and closely cropped dark hair. He
was twenty-nine years of age, but he
looked somewhat older. He know now
that he was never going to be any
older. A doctor as sure of himself as
the one he had just consulted couldn't
possibly be mistaken.
He sat down on park bench, just
beneath the spreading limb of great
tree. He would sit here, he thought
until he finally decided what he would
do with his remaining six months.
He hadn't been able to go to war.
The recruiting officer had been very
kind but most determined. The boys
had brought him great tales of France.
1t might be nice to go to France and
live in some country inn until he died.
But he didn't have very long to think
upon this vein. For at that instant
the squirrel came down to see if he had
a nut.
It was the squirrel Of Destiny. But
Dan didn't know it then.
Bushy-taH was not particularly
afraid of the human beings that
passed up and down the park, because
he had learned by experience that they
usually attempted no harm to him.
But, nevertheless, he had his instincts
He didn't entirely trust them. After
several generations, probably the
squirrels Of this park would climb all
over it's visitors and sniff in their ears
and investigate the back of their
necks. But this wasn't the way of
Bushy-tail. He had come too recent
ly from the wild places. And he Won
dered, most intensely, whether this
tall, forked creature had a pocket full
of nuts. He swung down on the
grass to see.
"Why, you little deviI!" Dan said
In a whisper. His eyes suddenly

The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1920-09-25
THANKS, Mr.. HAYS.

In 1918 THE APPEAL first took up
with Chairman Will H. Hays of the
Republican National Committee of the
appointment of an advisory commit
tee, in which all of the elements of
the party would be represented as
equal members, for the campaign of
1920. A segregated, jimcrow commit.
tee was opposed.
Mr.. Hays attention was called to
the. fact that in 1900, twenty years
ago, the then chairman, M. A. Hanna.
appointed three colored men as equal
members of an advisory committee of
Is persons for the Mckinley campaign
OF that year. Mr.. Hays said little, but
replied that the position of THE
APPEAL was right.
Now that Mr.. Hays has appointed
such a committee and has included a
prominent colored man, Hon. William
II. Lewis of Boston, in it's personnel,
THE APPEAL feels constrained to
give the foregoing facts and claim
the credit for having "started the ball
a-rolling."
Thanks, Mr.. Hays. Congratulations
Mr.. Lewis.
