A hardware merchant at Trenton,
Tennessee, last Saturday who was try
ing to sell a customer a gun, stepped to
the back door and fired the gun at a
warehouse in the real to show it. The
warehouse had stored in it some dyna-
mite. The explosion killed the mer-
chant and his customer, smashed near
ly every building in the town, injured
a dozen or more people and wrecked
the entire community. Brushing aside
the fact that any man would be foolish
enough to store high explosives in
town, men who experiment with fire
arms in a densely populated communi-
ty, cannot be mourned much when he
becomes his own victim. If the man
who put that dynamite there had
passed over with the gun artist it
would have been quite as well.
