One of the most serious accidents re-
ported in the county on Monday occur
red at Parsons, by which John Cooper,
26 years of age, will probably lose
both legs. Cooper and several friends
had two cannons, which were quite large
and made out of iron pipe riveted to
heavy blocks of wood. To make a very
loud report the young men had arranged
to discharge both cannons at the same
time. Each had been loaded nearly to
the muzzle and connected by single
fuse.
This fuse Cooper touched off in the
middle, expected the fire to reach the
powder in each cannon about the same
time. After lighting the fuse Cooper
jumped back and loud report followed
Thinking the explosion double one
Cooper ran to the muzzles of the cannons
to reload when the one on which the fuse
had burned slowly was discharged, the
explosion terribly lacerating both of
Cooper's legs below the knee. The can
mons had been filled with stones and the
fragments tore through the muscles of
the legs. He was taken to the hospital
in an ambulance.
