FREEDOM, January 1.-THE people oil
Freedom were startled about 9 o'clock
this afternoon by dull, heavy roar and a
shock which rocked the houses and rat
tied the windows throughout the town.
AT first it was thought the Excelsior Oil
Works had exploded. 1t was ascertained,
however, that the cause was the simulta-
neous explosion OF some eight hundred
dynamite cartridges which had been stor.
ed by railroad contractor in frame
blacksmith shop, about one hundred yards
up Lacock's Hollow from the railroad
tracks. The shop was used for sharpen
ing tools, and one man worked in II, Mr..
Jack Pickering. By some means these
exploders exploded with terrific force,
throwing Mr.. Pickering twenty-five feet In
the. air, and splintering the shop into
thousands OF pieces. Mr.. Pickering fell
into the hollow below the shop, which
stood on the hillside. He spoke when
picked up, but could not tell what caused
the explosion. He is burned and badly
bruised, and his condition Is serious. OF
all in and around the shop he is the lar
gest object left. Pieces Of boards are
hanging 10 the highest trees on the side
OF the hill opposite to where the shop
stood. Mr.. Abner Lacock's residence,
situated at the mouth OF the hollow and
below the railroad tracks, had all the front
windows broken, and even the sash shat.
tered in pieces.
