Story City, May 25.-The explosion
OF an acetylene gas tank in the base
ment OF the John ESenes hardware
store u day or 30 ago caused no END
OF excitement hore for Il short time,
but fortunately ready assistance eN-
tinguished the flames before any dam :
age OF consequence had been wrought
1t appears that q lighted lantern had
been placed too close 80 tho tank
which probably leaked little gas ana
1t became ignited and the tank eN-
ploded with a terrific noise. lVer
Egenes was IN the building at the
time and when he heard the explosion
he turned IN the fire alarm. The flames
spread rapidly but Mr.. Egenes grabbed
some chemical eNtinguishers that lac
had in the store and he promptly put
the fire out before the fire boys had
reached the scene and a crowd had
gathered. The basement was filled with
smoke for some time however.
