Pop Dottlo Explodes.
Duluth Herald.—The explosion of a pop bottle as he
was opening it, nearly cost
the life of Ed. McCuen, a
news ayent on the D. M. & N.
this morning.
The bottle blew up like a
miniature bomb, severing the
artery in the wrist and cutting a big* tendon in the lower
part of his arm. tThe flou* .,f
blood was profuse and had he
not reached a hospital in time
he might have bled to death
before medical attention could
be given to him.
The accident happen) d in
the baggage car. As soon as
the train pulled into the union
depot, McCuen was hurried
into a hack standing at theen-
trance and rushed at top
speed to St. Mary's hospital,
where Mr. Magie dressed his
wounds. It is expected that
he will be able to leave the
institution in a few days.
The accident is one of the
most unusual which has been
reported in manv months. It
is certain that the bottle contained a very heavy overcharge of gas used to charge
the ;*op.

Our basket ball team defeated the St. Cloud Athletics
Friday evening. Our team began to pi;e up the score earlv
in the game and continued at
the ratio of about three to one
until the end when the score1
stood 36 to 11. The St. Cloud
team was out classed in every
wav and if the game had lapses into listlessness it was be3
cause our boys did cot have
to exert themselves to Win.
The gtme between Little
Falls and Pierz Monday evening was different. It was fast
and furious from the time
"Cap" Gravel blew the whittle lor the game to begin until the end. Superior strength
and skill in our team ended
the game| with the score of

There will be a game in the
