WAS THAWING OUT GIANT
John Johnson Probably Fatally
Injured by An Explosion.
HE HELD 1T OVER A FORGE
A Very Careless Act of An Experienced
Powder Mana Piece of the Pow
der Thought to Have Pene-
trated His Lungs.

What may prove to be a fatal powder
explosion occurred yesterday afternoon at
about o'clock near one of the tunnels
being driven through the hills north of
the city. The accident was caused by that
| old, old strengthening out giant pow
| der
| The victim is John Johnson. 1t seems
| that Johnson was at work just outside
of one of the tunnels removing some rock.
| He required powder for the purpose of
loosening the rock and instead of going
to the place provided for the thawing
out of powder, he went to the blacksmith
shop.
He held a stick of giant in his hand di-
rectly over the forge, and with his free
hand he pumped sp the bellows in order
to make the fire burn more briskly. He
had been engaged in this way for a short
time, when the stick of giant exploded.
The shock was terrific and Johnson was
thrown to "A considerable distance. AS
soon possible Johnson was placed in
the ambulance connected with the upper
works and taken to the hospital, where
his injuries We're looked after by the sur
geons
1t was found that Johnson's condition
was precarous one. Some hard sub
stance, probably a piece of the giant
powder stick was driven into his chest
and through one of his lungs. One of his
hands and wrist is badly lacerated and
he has cuts and bruises about the head.
The force of the explosion, however,
seems to have caught him in the chest,
and in this region Johnson's more serious
injuries lie.
The surgeons fear that complications
may set in, in which case there is scarce
ly any hope for Johnson's recovery.
Johnson is suffering the most intense ag-
ony.
Nj. Jennings of the firm of Hartman &,
Jennings who have the contract for the
driving of the tunnel in speaking of the
accident. said that but for the fact that
the blacksmith was absent from the shop
at the time Johnson thawed out the pow
der he too. would have been blown up.
Mr.. Jennings says that there is place
provided for thawing out powder-a
place where it may be warmed without
the least danger and where no fire can
possibly get to il. He was very much
surprised that Johnson had been 50 care
less in handling the giant Johnson. said
Mr.. Jennings, was an old hand in the
handling of powder. He had known him
for number of years and had been in his
employ off and on for years. He knew him
as a careful man, and it seemed passing
strange to him that old-timer like
Johnson should have been so thoughtless
in warming the dangerous explosive.
Mr.. Jennings said that he had been in
the construction business for long time
and 1t was his conclusion that the more
familiar men became with powder the
more careles they grow, and this was IL
