Geo. Kies of Belmont township, put
up his wood stove the other day. filed
it up with wood that had been on the
woodpile for several years and went
out in the field to work He hadn't
got far from the house before he
heard an explosion and said to HIM
self that the Platteyille powder mills
had again blown up. But he soon
heard calls from his house and on
turning to look he saw the house was
in flames. He rushed back and by
hard work managed to extinguish the
fire and then he discovered that it was
his stove that had blown up. 1t had
been situated in wing OF the house
and besides SCATTERING everything in
the room to fragments it moved the
wing several inches from the main
building so great was the force.
Fortunately no one was in the room
at the time. Mr.. kies cannot account
for it only that the wood had been
split with dynamite and some of the
explosive might have remained there.
