AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
Mrs. James Clements Fatally Injured In the Explosion of a Can of Gasoline.
Last Friday at her home, 1004 east Pike street, Mrs. James Clements was fatally burned by the explosion of a can of gasoline, dying of her injuries Saturday morning at two o'clock.
VOL. 54—NO. 34 CRAWFORDSYILLE. INDIANA, FRIDAY AUGUST 23 1901-TWELVE PAGES PART SECOND
Mrs. Clements had a short time before the accident received a can of gasoline from her husband to return for a can she had borrowed from a neighbor. As it was eight o'clock she decided to delay the trip to the neighbor's house until morning and instructed her sevenyear old son, Delbert, to take the can into the cellar. The boy started down the steps but stopped, saying that it was too dark for him to see. His mother then took the can and started down followed by Delbert and the younger child, Harold. She found it quite dark and thoughtlessly struck a match to enable her to see her way. The can of gasoline was open and the moment the match flashed a terrific explosion occurred.
The children were standing directly back of their mother and were so protected from the mass of burning fluid which poured over her person. The older boy, however, had one foot badly burned. With screams of pain and terror the mother and children rushed from the cellarway followed by the flames which, for a few moments, rose as high as the housetop. Mrs. Clements was completely enveloped in the flames and ran around the house before help arrived. The first man on the scene was Lon Wrightsman. who last Saturday told the following story to THE JOURNAL "I was sitting on my porch, nearly a block from the Clements place and had taken off my shoes to rest when I heard the explosion and saw the flash of light. I leaped nearly ten feet from the porch, hearing as I did the screams of Mrs. Clements and the children. I called as I ran to Jimmie Clements in the store that the trouble was at his house and kept right on. I was there in less than half a minute after the explosion and met Mrs. Clements as she came around the house. Never to my dying day will I forget the scene. Sire was wrapped completely in the fire, the flames shooting at least two feet above her head. At her back were her little boys screaming and endeavoring to beat out vrith their hats the fire that was destroying their mother. Mrs. Clements saw me and ran to me calling, 'Save me!' I siezed her as she came and threw her on the grass, sitting on her head, thus protecting it with my legs from the fire. I threw her hair about her neck and shouted for some one to bring blankets. The little boys beat the flames with their hats and I tore off her burning garments in strips as I could. "One man came up and I howled to him in a frenzy to bring a blanket from the house but he ran to the front door and finding it locked would not kick it in. Meantime I tore off the burning clothes although I could not manage the corset, which was aflame and doing awful work. I rubbed her with gras9 and leaves and managed to get out most of the fire when a neighbor woman arrived and tearing off her skirt wrapped it about the poor creature, smothering the rest of the fire. This all happened in an incredibly short space'of time—in much less time than It takes to tell It to you, and in three minutes a large crowd had collected with all sorts of things to smother the flames which wore then out. We took her into the house in less than two minutes after the accident I should judge, so you see how quick it ail was. "I-have seen some sad and awful things in my life, but never anything like that terrible spectacle last night. It will haunt me to my dying day. All last night I lay awake with that dreadful nightmare before me and the heartrending shrieks of the poor woman ringing in my ears. It takes a good deal to make me cry but I cried last night like a little child."
Carl Scott was out driving and happened to be passing near the Clements place as the accident occurred. He drove there at once and arrived just as Wrightsman and a woman had succeeded in putting out the flames which tortured the victim of the accident. He drove at full Bpeed to town and waB back in no time with Dr. Swope. Other physicians soon arrived and five of them worked to allay the pain and distress of the unfortunate young woman. She was given medicine to allay her pain merely, it being manifest from the first that she would die in a few hours. Her whole body, except her face, which Wrightsman had protected, was covered with burns and she
had inhaled the fire. She was conscious and conversed with her family until shortly before her death.
Mrs. Clements was twenty-six years of age and was the daughter of James P. Grimes by his first wife. She was a young woman with many friends and her death falls heavily upon not only her relatives but upon all who knew her. She leaves a husband and two little boys. The funeral took place Sunday afternoon at three o'clock at the Christian church, interment at Oak Hill.
THE POW-WOW CLOSED.
It Ended Friday Night In a Blaze of Glory —A Very Successful Affair.
The Red Men's pow-wow on the fair grounds closed last Friday evening. After the mule race came the fox hunt under the auspices of Capt. Harney, and a very fine drive it was, the course being once and a half around the track. Speed, Lead, and Feed were the winners, while the much touted Bawling Bill was left at the post doing justice to his name. Speed is owned by Mike Britton, and William Doyle owns Lead, while Feed belongs to William Thompson.
The watermelon contest was abandoned and in its place was substituted a greyhound vs. pony race. As to which won there is a controversy. The dog was twice run over by the pony, showing that it was ahead, while the fact that the pony ran over it proves that the pony was ahead. Disinterested observers, however, are inclined to award the palm to the pony, holding that the hound lost on the same grounds as did the famous rabbit dog of poetic tradition.
The greased pig chase was a farce inasmuch as the pig was given no chance for his white alley. The moment he was released from the barrel twenty boys fell bodily on him and finally a lad named Birchfield, being well endowed with muscles and teeth, scattered rival claimants and bore the dismembered pig off in sanguinary triumph.
Hal Martin and Will Long won the hatchet throwing contest over a fair field of contestants.
At the meeting of the delegates it was voted to hold the next pow-wow in Greencastle, the vote standing nine to four. Covington made a try for the honof- but Lebanon backed down and did not enter into competition.
The following corps of officers for next year were elected: President J. C. Cannon, Greencastle.
Vice-President—H. C. Yount, Covington. Treasurer—Geo. W. Sage, Greencastle.
Secretary—E. McG. Walls, Greencastle. At night the streets were jammed and packed by thousands of people bent on seeing the illuminated parade. The parade was a highly creditable one although some of the delegations failed to live up to their promises in preparing floats. As it was the float of Fred Manson as King Arthur easily won the first money. The hay rake scene, the feeding of the hay maker, and the candidates for adoption imprisoned in a cage were features of the parade that elicited applause, while the fierce playing of the bands furnished a sort of wild inspiration that swept the street. The crowd was a thoroughly good natured one and there was "pushing and shoving" suggestive of street fair week.
The pow-wow concluded with the adoption of nine candidate at the Red Men's hall, the place being packed by the out of town visitors. The work was done by the Greencastle team.
Carrie Was Slapped.
A dispatch from Watertown, N. Y., says: "Mrs. Carrie Nation added to her experience yesterday when her face was slapped by a man who resented her grabbing for a cigar he was smoking. She ".vas taking a trip on one of the St Lawrence river boats and was giving the passengers a tirade against the use of tobacco. She was taking cigars and cigarettes from the passengers and made an attempt to snatch a cigar from the mouth of Eugene Foley, a traveling man from Utica. Foley slapped her in the face and she immediately terminated her crusade against tobacco. Foley afterward apologized for striking her."

Who la She?
Clerk Dumont Kennedy is in receipt of the following letter from Superintendent Edenharter of the Central insane hospital: "INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Aug. 12, 1901. —Clerk Montgomery county, Crawfordsville, Ind.—DEAR SIR:—Ellen McCain, admitted from Montgomery county in 1879, is very sick and may die. If she has relatives please Inform them. Respectfully, «,
GEO. F. EDENHARTER, Supt." As no records were kept in 1879 of relatives or friends of the persons committed, Mr. Kennedy is at a loss to locate those interested in Ellen McCam. Any one knowing of her family should inform the clerk at once.
At a Summer Resort.
Lieut. Charles D. Herron may not return to this country this summer after all. He has been sent on a special assignment to a summer reBort near Manila to check up some officers there. He reports the place as a very delightful one and is enjoying himself to the limit. A photograph taken in Japan and sent home represents him as in robust health.
Nearlng Completion.
The field work on the survey for the projected electric line of the Crawfords vi lie Traction company is now complete and the figures will be ready for submission in a day or so. The promoters feel that they have every reason for encouragement.
Seven Baddlng* Destroyed Saturday Night and a Conflagration Narrowly Averted.
Waynetown had a narrow escape Saturday night from a most disastrous fire, the hardest kind of work being necessary to prevent the threatened destruction of the town. As it was seven barns were destroyed.
The fire originated in the barn of Baldy Warren, a building located near several other buildings of the same kind. When the fire was discovered the building was wrapt in flames, and in a few seconds time three other barn^ were burning merrily, while their owners and other people hustled about in an endeavor to save aB much as possible. Two or three other barns took fire and the attention of the people was directed to saving the furniture store of Shular & Son which backed up near the burning barns. The rear of this store is of wood and it was clearly seen that it would take fire and communicate the flames to adjoining business blocks unless heroic measures were taken. A lot of hose was secured and connected with the town well, the frame portion of the Shular store thus being kept thoroughly wet. Men with buckets protected other property and finally the fire spent its force and died out. The buildings destroyed were the barns of Baldy Warren, William Rider, Dr. Hurt, May Swisher, Capt. Marks, and the barn on the Landman property. The buggy house on the Hurt place was also burned. Dr. Hurt was the heaviest loser, being out about$500 over his insurance.
''iv County Fair Attractions. R. C. Smith returned last Friday from Bainbridge where he attended the fair, which by the way has had a very slim patronage this year. While there he secured several attractions for the "Greatest on Earth," among which is the "Streets of Cairo," a vaudeville show which Mr. Smith says will make a hit. He also states that there will be more stands and shows on f.he grounds this year than ever before, a great many applications for space having already been received.
