THE other day the magazine of
the Bradford Nitro Glycerine Com
pany, located between Prairie de-
pot and Bradner, Wood Coun-

of Toledo, exploded with a stun
ming report that was heard over a wide
area, and was mistaken everywhere for
an earthquake shock. No one was in or
near the magazine at the time, hence
there are, fortunately, no deaths to
record. The force of the explosion was
so terrific that the trees over many
acres are torn up by the roots, and the
ground is torn up for a half mile on
every side of the yawning chasm which
now occupies the site of the magazine.
The scattered farm houses in the neigh

The shock was felt plainly at Monroe,
Mich, twenty-four miles north of there,

perceptible over a circular area of at
leastl00 miles in diameter.
