sponsible.

Explosion Of

TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
Frozen Water Front Pipes
Cause of Serious
Disaster
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL

A serious accident occurred early
Sunday morning at the Fred Schaub
farm home, one mile east of West
port, when the kitchen range ex-
ploded. Miss Julia Schaub, young.
est daughter, who teaches in the
Westport school, was seriously in
jured and is now at University Hos
pital, Minneapolis, receiving treat
ment.
The young lady had started the
fire in the range sometime shortly
before $50. The cold wave, with
a strong northwest wind, had pene-
trated the kitchen and the result
was that the pipes In the water
front had been frozen. This left
no outlet for the steam which
formed in the pipes and caused a
terrific explosion, which completely
demolished the stove and broke the
windows in the kitchen and the
room adjoining.
Miss Julia, who was in the ktch-
en- with Charles and Esther, broth
err and sister, when the explosion
occurred, was seriously injured.
She suffered a compound fracture
of the left mid-thigh, cut about
the head and severe burns, es-
pecially about the lower part
of her body. Her condition
was serious and she was immed-
lately taken to University Hospital
for treatment. Her complete re-
covery, however, is expected.
Charles and Esther were only
slightly injured.
About four years ago Mrs.
Schaub was also severely burned
when her clothes caught fire while
using gasoline for washing pur-
poses in the basement.

Effort Made
To Reroute
Highway 10

ing Meeting at Alexandria
Tuesday Afternoon
AGAINST ANY CHANGE
G Commissioner Elsberg's Tent
ative Map Routes No. 10
Through Sank Centre

Tuesday afternoon Asa M. Wal
lace and T. L. MacManamin. at
tended meeting of the u. s. los
Highway Association at Alexan-
dria. Mr.. Wallace is president of
the organization.
The association was organized
several years agoto use every eff
fort at it's command to see that
the paving on Highway No. 8 was
rushed to completion. The work
had been finished except a 13-mIle
stretch leading into Elbow Lake.
If funds are available this link
will be completed this year.
Highway Commissioner Elsberg
has a plan underway to designate
all of the trunk highways in the
state by Federal numbers so far
as Is practicable.
Highway 10, comes into Mime
sofa from Michigan and Wiscon-
sin at st. Paul and continues to
the West coast. When No. 10 first
routed it was via Little Falls,
Brainerd and Detroit Lakes to
Fargo. The Civic Associations re-
siding on No. 3 west of st. Cloud
sent up such protest that Mr..
Babcock made two wings Of No.
10 at st. Cloud, los running thru
this. city to Osakis, Alexandria to
Fergus Falls, GAINESVILLE and
Moorehead.
Under Commissioner Elsberg's
present plans there will be but one
No. 10 hereafter. The map routes
No. 10 through this city and the
cities mentioned above.
An effort is being made by Detroit
Lakes to have No. 10 routed thru
THEN city alleging that much Of
their tourist business comes from
North Dakota and West.
AT Tuesdays meeting DR.. Volk-
er, IF Alexandria, pointed out that
No. 10 should remain as planned
by the Highway Commissioner. The
route through Sank Centre and
West is the old territorial route,
full of historic interest, and trav-
erses the best agricultural district
in Central and Western Minnesota
with adequate cities and villages
enroute to care for the traveller.
There is a proposal to have
Highway No. IS routed through this
city and west instead of No. 10. In
view of the fact that the distance
from Fargo to the Twin Cities via
Alexandria and Sank Centre Is
many miles less than via Detroit
Lakes and Little Falls, the logical
route for No. 10 is through this city.
The directors at Tuesdays meeting
coming from as far west as Barnes
vile were strong for the retention
of No. 10 which is a well advertis-
ed route.
The claim is made that No. 30
originates at Davenport, Iowa and
would be a direct route through
this city. Practically all Of the
tourist business from the East,
South and West originates in the
Twin Cities.
Representatives from Ashby and
Evansville, members Of the asso-
citation, were present and asked for
No. 10 to be continued as at pres
ent-the cutoff between Ashby and
Fergus Falls. The association felt
that this was controversial ques-
ton between Elbow Lake and Ash
