National Bank at New Rock

Saturday Night, Through
Explosion of a Lamp.
]. {. HYDE, CASHIER, WRAPPED
IN F|ERCELY BLAZING FIRE
Flesh Dropped OFF Hands
$1,000 in Paper Money
Damaged.


Darlington, N. D., Oct. pa very
bad explosion of gasoline, which came
very nearly being attended by fatal
ity, occurred Saturday night at New
Rockford, Eddy county, North Dakota.
The victim, J. E. Hyde, is cashier Of
the First National bank of New Rock
ford, and was formerly cashier of the
Old Red River Valley bank at Fargo.
In the evening after his bank had
closed its business Saturday, Mr.. Hyde
and his wife. who is bookkeeper, were
engaged in going over the cash. They
had between $4,000 and $4,000 in cur
rency and gold on the counter. and
were counting it over when large
gasoline lamp which hung over MIR.
Hyde's head, suddenly exploded,
throwing burning oil over his head
and shoulders, on Mrs. Hyde and on
the currency which lay loose on the
counter. Mr.. Hyde. enveloped in
flames rushed into the street. A
passerby, jerking off his coat, wrapped
the burning man in that garment and
smothered the flames. not before the
victim had been terribly blistered,
however, Mr.. Hyde's hair was en-
tirely burned off his face and shoul-
ders, and his hands were so badly
cooked that the flesh dropped off. His
eyesight was also affected. but it is
believed the the vision will be spared.
Mrs. Hyde was also burned some,
but not SO badly as her husband.
In addition to the above, damage to-
a considerable extent was done the
building. The New Rockford Trans
cript, with offices in the bank build
ing, suffered some through the burn
ing of the flames under the floor of the
bank. Something like $500 in five,
ten and twenty dollar bills was cor-
sumed, while about $500 in currency
was badly mutilated. but can be re-
deemed. The total damage will
amount to about $500.
