save his eyes, it was said, but little
could be done unless he rallied from
the shock.
Wcro , Removing Rocks
1 The accident occured near the
Spencer ranch where Nyhart, Day
and a man named Blanchard were
removing rocks from the highway
and leveling high points. ' Nyhart
was In charge of the other two. Day
and Nyhart were working together
and Blanchard some distance away
when , it 1b! supposed that Nyhnrt'e
pick struck the cap on a charge pt
dynamite which had failed to ' ex
plode when a number of charges
were Bet off about two weeks ago.
The . resultant- explosion mutilated
both- men terribly, Nyhart receiving

the accident was unavoidable, and
was one which is not uncommon in

Inspired by the investigations and
their results in Florida, citizens of

ditions In this state and several
groups now are demanding that the
present lease system be abolished
despite the fact that tho legislature
at Its January session extended the

system, declaring tho state should
make no change until some other
employment might be arranged, en

various legislators and many prl
