Some members of the conference

This would make 1t possible to get

dynamite blast accident last Friday

Mr.. Roering, who was II years
old, was engaged in blasting some
heavy rocks on a field of his home
farm now occupied by sis son-in-
law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Zitur. He had placed the
dynamite under a rock and after
lighting the fuse had gone to safe
distance. He waited fully a half
hour and when the charge did go
off, he walked back to the rock
and pulled out the fuse. Just as
he did so the dynamite exploded.
With both hands badly mangled,
a cut on his head and suffering Sc
verely from the shock, Mr.. Roering
managed to make his way to the
house, half mile away. He was
rushed to the hospital here and his
injuries dressed, but due to his adj
vanced years and a weakened heart
he failed to recover from the shock
of the accident.
The deceased was born in Wes-
sum, Westphalen, Germany, and
came to this county with his par
ents at a young age. After his mar
riage he lived on farm between
here and Freeport. His wife died
in 1913.
The following children survive:
Frank and Peter, of New Munich;
Mrs. John Zitur, on the home place;
Joe, of st, Francis; ALBERT of
Greenwald; John and Leo, Of Free
port; Nick, of St. Martin; and Mrs.
Mike Zitur, of st. Cloud. The broth
