Woodland Daily Democrat: March 25, 1913
Injured by Fire on the Elks' Special;
A Member of Marysville Delegation Sets Off Cracker and One Man Severely Burned -
Marysville, March 24. - Several of the members of the Marysville Elks narrowly escaped being seriously burned while on their way by special train to Woodland Saturday night, to attend the insulation of the new Lodge Of Elks at that place.
- When the train had started on its way, some one of the Bills, thinking that the time was rather slow, started something by firecrackers. The explosion came quicker than he thought it would and the consequence was that William Bossen, who was sitting near where the firecrackers were set off, was severely burned about the face and head, and several others narrowly escaped serious injury.
The car seats were also badly damaged.-Bee.
