Faribault Democrat: Friday morning
last slight explosion occurred at Straight
River Stone mill, which fortunately did
no damage except to slightly burn the
face of NJ. FL. Lahey, assistant miller. 1t
seems that one of the -four spouts became
choked up, and Mr.. Lahey, after setting
his lantern on the floor some ten feet dis
tant, climbed up and tapped the spout,
the ucual custom to clear it. The moment
the flour started it exploded, but Mr.. La
hey, although considerably burned, had
the presence of mind to cover the spout
with his hat and finally plugged the spou:
with his head-gear, thereby preventing
any further escape of flour until the Ian
tern and all sparks remaining from the
explosion had been removed.
