no disposition to leave. When you
have a good job hold on to it, and
don't spend money getting another

near being a serious accident, happen
ed on Monday evening to Geo. Black
we'll and James Payne. They were
digging we'll near Tom Payne's, in
the country, and had fire to warm
themselves by, when by accident, it is
supposed, a dynamite cap got into
their fire and exploded, causing fire to
be scattered in every direction, some
of it falling among their d ynamite car
tridges causing terrific explosion
which was heard long distance, and
windows ratified long ways from the
scene of the explosion. Blackwell had
his left eye badly injured and bad
cash cut in his forehead, and Payne
had his right small finger injured and
a cut on the chin. Had it not been
that they ran on the first explosion,
they might not have been able to tell
how it happened. AS it was they
were badly frightened and have con.
cluded that dynamite will not stand
