EXPLOSION NEAR HAZEN INJURES RURAL TEACHER
George Holdeman, 24, Not Expected to Live—Rushed to Mandan This Morning
ONE EYE GONE—LOST OF OTHER IS FEARED
Mandan, N.D., May 2—His body horribly maimed—the sight of the left eye lost and that of he right eye practically gone—George Holdeman, 24 years, a schoolteacher, living near Hazen, was rushed to the local hospital in an unconscious condition this morning, the victim of a dynamite blast, which occurred between 4 and 5 o'clock on the Ben Stalling farm, four miles west of Hazen, Tuesday afternoon.
Left Eye Removed.
Little hope is held for his recovery by Dr. C.A. Kerner of Hazen, who accompanied the injured man to this city. A portion of the skull is fractured and the limbs are badly mutilated. Early this morning the left eye was removed and an effort is now being made to save the sight of the right.
Home in Indiana
Holdeman's home is at Goshen, Ind. For the past three or four years he has been teaching in the rural district near Hazen and having completed a term of school took work with a crew which yesterday started blasting operations in that city.
Reports state that Holdeman was handling the caps and the fuse and after placing a charge, the explosion occurred before he had a chance to get a safe distance away.

BOYS STEALING RIDES ON FARGO STREET CARS
Fargo, N.D., March 1—The Fargo street car company has another problem added to its already long list. According to conductors, dogs have contracted the habit of stealing rides.
One conductor turned in a report recently that he ejected three of them from his car simultaneously. The conductor found the animals in a crowded car behind the feet of several passengers. Not one passenger admitted ownership.
"Then off they go," said the conductor, believing that if any owners were aboard, they would repent.
"Let 'em go," came a reply, in chorus.

I don't understand the use of "boys" in the title; I believe it is a typo on the part of a sleep-deprived and underpaid Linotype operator.

Head Bumped An accident occurred in Grambs & Wolbert's store yesterday evening which resulted in a serious fall for Alphonso Luyben. He went into the store to do some trading and walked back toward the elevator shaft. He was warned not to come too close, but evidently not hearing or heeding the warning he walked over and hit on the cement floor of the basement on his head, which resulted in a concussion of the brain. He was taken to the hospital where he was unconscious for about two hours, but as there was no fracture of the skull the injury will probably not prove very serious.

LEAPS FROM UPPER WINDOW OF HOME; SAVES HIS PARENTS
Hankinson, N.D., March 11—Leaping from the upper window of his home near here, when awakened by fire which had already gained considerable headway, H.W. Stern succeeded in saving his own life and the lives of his father and mother.
When Stern leaped out, he broke a downstairs window, and found his parents still asleep. They were awakened, however, and escaped through the window, in nothing but their nightclothes.
All members of the family suffered from exposure. They saved nothing from the residence.
