Rock Hill correspondence Columbia
State: On Thursday afternoon, little
John London, 12.year-old son Of Mrs.
Emma Frew London, while playing
with some comrades in his mothers
yard, met with an exceedingly painful
accident. To a small boy the hollow
driving part of cast iron nail puller
is little remote from a full mounted
howitzer, and it was with one of these
that the trouble occurred. They had
fred it several times when it exploded
with what was at first supposed fatal
effect, for little John, who was nearest
it. He was pretty badly lacerated in
the legs and groin, and while in ter
ribly painful plight, is supposed to be
out of danger.
