ALMOST A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
While getting out rock for house build
ing purposes, Of which he is a con-
tractor. young Joe Swain had what
came very near having most serious
accident to happen to him last Friday
evening. A hole had just been drilled
in rock and it was being filled with
powder preparatory to blasting. Mr..
Swain was holding an iron rod on the
packing and this was being driven down
with a hammer by a colored man. But
a few ticks had been struck when an
explosion occurred, and for a short
time it was thought that Mr.. Swain
had received fatal injuries. Medical
aid was summoned at once, and the
young man was brought to town. He
was badly burned about the face and
eyes, his left hand was torn to pieces
|
on his arm. Two joints Of the little
finger had to be cut off, together with
small piece of the adjoining one.
At first it was feared that his eye-sight
was affected, but this has proved not to
be the case and the young man is now
doing very well. His escape from in
slant death or great bodily injury is re.
markable. 1t can only be accounted
for by the fact that the blasting charge
had Just been put in the drilled hole IL
the rock and was not fully ''primed'
5 or packed in tightly. This of course
;, greatly lessened the power of the dis
= charge. And then he was using lone
rod and was standing up at the time
The colored man received slight injurie
also.
