EXPLOSION HEARD IN AUDUBON
Gasoline Tank i'm Coon Rapids Ex-
plOdes, Killing One Man, and
Injuring Another.

About half past four o'clock on
last Saturday afternoon, loud re-
port was heard by persons in Audi
bon and especially those living in
the north part of the county. At
the time, very little was thought Of
it, but later in the evening when the
word reached here that gasoline
tank in Coon Rapids had exploded,
every one who heard the noise re-
allied what had taken place.
Harry Churchill, aged As years,
and proprietor of garage in that
city, was burned to death and the
hands of man from Jefferson,
whose name could not be learned,
were severely burned when the stor-
age tank, which was located in the
railroad yards, exploded. The head
of one of the exploding tanks crash
ed through the roof of house near
by. The woman and her baby, who
lived in the house, had left the place
not over five minutes before the ex-
plosion, and escaped injury. and
perhaps instant death, for the house
was almost completely wrecked.
Mr.. Churchill was pumping gaso-
line from a tank car on the tracks
into bis storage tank along the Mil
waukee railroad tracks, using gas
oline engine for power. Some trou-
BILE with one of the pipes developed
and the gasoline was sprayed over
him. completely saturating 'his cloth
ing. The gasoline was ignited by
the engine and the explosion follow,
ed There was only about six inches
Of gasoline in the tank. Another
tank nearby was saved.
Mr.. Churchill was badly burned,
and from the very start no hope for
his recovery was held out. Regard
less of his condition, he remained
conscious until about eleven o'clock
Saturday night, when he died.
Mr.. Churchill was quite well
known in Audubon. having frequent
ly been here on business. Several
from here attended the funeral,
which was held on Monday after
noon. He leaves wife and two
sons. one five years old and an in
FAINT son. ..

There is no sense getting old
To do SO is very unintelligent. II

Zbyszko, now hero of over 1000
consecutive matches. recognized
Gotch as his only master, but he did
not regain the championship official
ly until he won over Stranger
Lewis on May 9Th of this year. It
took him IL years to come back
but he did 1t.
II am in better condition phys
ically, now than ever before in my
life," says zbyszko. ITO me this is
not startling thing-for have al
ways taken care of myself, and used
good judgment in regulating my

LEGION SPONSORS
LECTURE COURSE
FIRST NUMBER TO BE GIVEN AT
HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM
NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT

The first number Of the winter
entertainment course which is be-
ing sponsored by Audubon post of
the American Legion will be held
in the high school auditorium next
Wednesday night. The Virginia
Girls, company Of six talented mu-
sicians, will be seen in an evening
OF instrumental and vocal melodies.
The course this year should be
the best that has ever been offered
here. Without disparaging past
courses. it can be said that they
have failed to give satisfaction, be-
cause they were too cheap. Because
courses in the past have fallen
short the Legion members feel that
they have undertaken a big task
this year in bringing the most ex-
pensive numbers that have ever
been secured for Audubon.
Instead Of the usual five pro-
grams there will be but three.
Almost as much money has been
spent for these three as for the larg-
ct number in past years and every
one Of them are real headliners.
The Virginia Girls, who appear
next wednesday night is unusual in
that 1t 10 q singing orchestra. They
make speciality Of the heart songs

the purpose Of perfecting a county
organization in Audubon county.
This organization is to be composed
Of the American Legion posts Of the
county. It will have for its purpose
matters that should be settled as q
county organization. rather than as
a local post. There are four Amer
lean Legion posts in this county. al

Father McDermott. Of Atlantic.
former state chaplain. was present
al the meeting and spoke of the
benefits Of the legion organization.
the theme Of his talk being as
follows:
Suppose there were no American
Legion. II we had no such organ
ization of ex-service men we would
have lost sight Of the ideals which
brought us to sacrifice $4,000 Of our
buddies to death.
ideals are never rSAlised fully in
action: they but serve their purpose.
This is demonstrated by the battle
which we are obliged to make for
our principles and when we consider
the extraordinary action which was
forced upon our state and national
for the relief of the dis
abled. With no such organisation at
work. what would become of us!
"There is no doubt but that the
American Legion eventually will be-
come the only organization o. veter-
ans OF the world struggle. The Lee
gion is foremost in the spirit Of
and this spirit win final
ly bring about the retirement Of 9TH
er similar organisations. A feature
of the Legion is its comradsh'r. the
opportunity to meet each other and
this mingling Of our citizens aug
urs well for the nation"
