Kohnke said: Top minnows are more

HAD NARROW ESCAPES.
Nothing Short of Miracle that All in


Store Were Not Killed.
LAGRANGE, Ca, July 27.-The ex.
eltement of the awful explosion of
dynamite which occurred at 2:40
O'Clock Thursday, has abated.
The funeral of William Stewart,
who was almost instantly killed BY
the explosion. was held Friday He
was about 10 years of age, and a
most exemplary young man.
Otis and John White, and A.
H. Parker, who also clerked for the
King Hardware company, were not Sc
riously injured, although badly cut
ana bruised. The Wijte boys were
taken TO their home in Mountville.
1t is nothing short of a miracle that
all in the store were not killed. Will
liam Stewards body was thrown 20
feet against a wall and was horribly
mangled, The others were thrown
some distance.
The King Hardware company, the
LaGrange branch of the King Hard
ware company of Atlanta, carried a
heavy line, and while it is impossi-
bic to estimate the loss, it is believed
that fully GO per cent is ruined. The
interior of the store is a mass of
wreckage, and when this is cleared
the damage may be found even greater
than this.
The two-story brick building is bad
ly damaged. A great hole was blown
out of the wall on the Hines street
side, and the whole building wrench
ed. Overhead the Masonic hall ana
the several rooms of the Elm City
club, sustained serious damage and
are considered by many as unsafe.
The explosion occurred at the noon
hour when few customers were in the
store. Had it been at another hour,
perhaps the loss of life might have
been fearful
The conclusion was felt all over
the city, and many windows were
broken Ill the vicinity of the wreck.
