For the first time since the installa-
ton of our light plant the town was
i'm darkness, was this week owing to
an explosion which occurred in the
gas house last Wednesday afternoon.
The building was almost wrecked by
the force of the explosion, and it was
miraculous that Ptoleny Hilterbrick
escaped unhurt, who was working at
the building when the accident oc-
Cured. 1t is supposed that spark
from the friction of the machinery came
in contact with some gas which escap-
ed from the tank or pipes, causing the
explosion. The plant il being adjust
ed as rapidly as possible.
