JOSEPH A. BARTL
ST. NAZIANZ FARMER TERRIBLY HURT, BLASTING
Premature explosion of a charge of dynamite with which he was blasting stumps on a piece of land he was clearing will disfigure Joseph Bartl, a St. Nazianz farmer for life, if he survives his injuries. Bartl had an eye gouged out, part of his nose and cheek shot away and muscles of the face terribly lacerated while one arm was broken and the other severely bruised. Bartl was engaged in clearing away stumps from a piece of land he recently purchased and had fixed a charge under one of the stumps. He lit the fuse but did not notice that the fuse had fired. Bartl started to investigate and the explosion followed. He was alone when it happened. The man was terribly hurt and swooned away but later regained consciousness for he was discovered by a party of hunters who heard his groans. The hunting party consisting of Messrs. Martin and William Rappel and Rudolph and Hugo Christel and came upon him when they heard his outcries just after the explosion. At first the party was timid about approaching Bartel for he was standing up against the stump with his jacket wrapped about his head and gave evidence of being demented. When his plight was discovered, however, the hunters gave him first aid and assisted him to his home where a physician was called and he was removed to a hospital in Sheboygan. He was able by the time to give a coherent account of the accident and exhibited considerable nerve when he directed to members of his family things to be done about the farm before he was taken away.
Bartl is married, aged 50 and has a large family and had only recently purchased the farm a part of which he was engaged in clearing. He said the fuse at the time of the blasting did not look as though it had been lighted. There was no smoke and he was about to light another match when the blast occurred.
Dr. Minahan was called from St. Nazianz and dressed the injuries after which Bartl was taken to Sheboygan by William Rappel. He will lose one eye and skin grafting may have to be employed to save the cuticle on his face. Part of his nose and cheek are also shot away.
