a man named Green, employed by D. f.
Knight, blew up snag in the Feather
river Tuesday, with results rather surpris.
ing to himself. He had moored raft in
the river above the snag, and having fixed
his giant powder cartridge in the snag
lighted the fuse and cast off his moorings,
expecting that the current would swing
the raft around the snsg and carry the
raft down stream out of danger. The
force OF the stream, however, carried the
raft right over the snsg and held it there.
Green was obliged to plunge into the river
and swim for his life to boat near by,
which he reached in safety. When the
charge of giant powder exploded it blew
the snag and the raft to pieces. The tools
which Green had upon the raft are lost for
good, as he was in too much CT hurry to
take them away with him.
