Johnny Hodge had the misfor-
tune to be badly burned about the
face and hands Tuesday. 1t seems
that Johnny was in the cellar as
sisting in the cleaning thereof when

burnt end, it fell into partly used
can of black powder. An explosion
followed and Johnny came out
much the worse. He is doing well
considering the burns. A lucky
part of the whole performance was
the non-burning of the eyes.
