Gas Explosion at Mayburg.

A terrific explosion of natural gas oc-
Cured at Mayburg yesterday morning
about 500 o'clock, which destroyed a
power house on the Cook oil lease, but
luckily injured no one. The building
was located at the outskirts of the town
about ne-fourth of mile from the gen.
eral store, and when the stuff let go every
house in the place was shaken. In the
building was complete gasolene plant,
fitted up with machinery for extracting
the fluid from the gas. Frank Richards,
who was on tour at the time, had left the
building about ten minutes before aud
gone to break fast, and thus probably es-
capped being instantly killed, as the build
ing was literally blown to atoms. Strange
to say the machinery was little damaged,
and the fire which caught from the ex-
plosion was easily extinguished.
Mr.. Richards thinks the explosion was
caused by the valve blowing off the COM
pressor, thus forcing the strong pressure
of gas into the building instead of the
line, and that the igniter set off the ex-
plosion. The building was large one
40X90 feet.

Fatal Recklessness at Sheffield.

While kneeling in prayer on Saturday
night, preparatory to retiring, VIM. Tre-
nough, of Sheffield, Warren county, was
mortally wounded. The deceased was a
bookkeeper in the employ of the Forest
Chemical works at Sheffield. A Polish
couple had been married that day and in
the evening large party of their fellow
countrymen came to the house and in
dulged in a noisy celebration, among
which was the reckless firing of re-
volvers. A bullet fired by one Of them
shattered the glass in the Trenough home
and lodged in the front part of Mr..
Trenoughs throat, severing the wind
pipe. The wounded man went to bis
bed room but was unable to tell his wife
what had occurred and went from her
room into the bath room, where Ire died.
Nine of the foreigners were arrested but
it was impossible to learn which man out
of the many had fired the shot that took
the life of Mr.. Trenough, and they were
fined for disorderly conduct and dis
charged. The deceased was about A.
years of age and is survived by his wife,
two children and his aged mother. He
was prominent in church work and an
ardent and prominent member of the
Prohibition party.
