Man Dies From
Suicide Blast
In Tavern
Nelson, who was a powder
with the Nyberg Construction Co.,
which has the contract for the road
work on U. S. 2 west of Troy, had
been in the tavern several times
Friday. When he came in between
4:30 and 5:00 p. m., and sat down,
in the rear booth, nothing was|
thought of it until he began scream- ;
ing that everyone had better get
out if they didn't want to be hurt,
The bar tender, thinking the man !
was drunk, had started over toward
him when a violent explosion oc
curred. Though there were five men
in the parlor in addition to Nel
son, no one else was seriously in
jured. Both of Nelson's arms were |
terribly mangled and both eyes j
were blinded, his face being torn
to a pulp. The man doubtless sus
tained internal injuries Had he
lived, the amputation of both arms !
would have been necessary.
He was given first aid by Dr. !
Dixon of Troy, and rushed in a
Nyberg truck to the St. John's
Lutheran Hospital at Libby. Sat- j
urday he was flown to Spokane by !
Emil Nelson, Age 70 Warns
Occupants of Paddy's
Place to Get Out.
WAS THE POWDER MAN
FOR NYBERG COMPANY
In a spectacular suicide attempt,
Emil Nelson, age 70 received wounds
which resulted in his death and
seriously damaged Paddy's Place,
a Troy tavern operated by Bill Lind
sey.

Mon to Staff
This week for the first time since
last July, The Western News has
operated with a full force. Good
printers are scarce and very dif
ficult to obtain at any price, and
since Ross Hibbs left the force to
enter the wholesale confectionery
business in Kansas, this office has
been waiting the arrival of a capable
and reliable printer and newspaper
man.
Monday evening Carl Wiedenheft
arrived from Plains to fill the va
cancy. Mr. Wiedenheft is a life
long printer"and newspaperman, and
for the past five years has operated
the Plainsman at Plains on a lease.
Last July when the Western News
publisher learned that he was con
sidering a change, he immediately
contacted the Plainsman editor and
secured his promise to join The
Western News staff. The entire
staff is pleased to have the new
member with it, and if he likes The
Western News and Libby as well as
the office force is learning to like
him. the latest member is apt to
be in this community for a long
lime.
Mr. Wiedenheft expects to return
tomorrow to Plains and will move
his family to Libby over the week-i
end. Mrs. Wiedenheft and a daugh-|5th.
ter, Miss Ramona will move here,
whTÂÏmSSt 1 Th^
i?also a h GI h son who livesat B^tte
is also a ui son, wno lives at buik.
Only the loyal support and faith
ful work of the other members of
the office force have made it pos
sible during the past seven weeks
to keep The Western News up to
its usual standards of service.
The news department has also
been fortunate in securing the part
time services of Mrs. W. R. Baeth
as society reporter. She will take
Miss Billie Littell's place while the
latter is attending the University at
Missoula.

NINE OF TEN FIRES
ARE PREVENTABLE
President Truman has proclaimed
the week of October 5 to 11 as Fire
Prevention Week. The National
Fire Protection Association reports
that: "The need was never as great,
as fife losses are zooming to
all-time high, and threaten to ex
ceed $700 million this year—25 per
cent higher than In 1946. This loss
is about equal to the value of every
E hoductive acre and every farm
uilding in the State of Wahington."
"If you value your life, your fam
ily, your home and your farm, be
constantly on the alert to the causes
of fire'and how to'eliminate them.
Ninety per cent of all farm* fires ban
be presented.''

There still exists a critical teacher
i shortage, not only in this state, but
! throughout the nation. The short
age exists mainly because of un
satisfactory teaching conditions. In
order to correct these conditions and
relieve the teacher shortage, there
is still much to be done.
With this in mind, members of
this MEA Local urge the public to
attend as much of the meeting at
4:00 and 7:30 as possible.
