NARROW ESCAPE
IN EXPLOSION
KITCHEN IN HOME is WRECK
ED AND MOTHER AND
CHILD ARE IN
JURED.

An exposition I'm a coal stove, which
alarmed the vicinity for radius of
several hundred yards, occurred about
1880 o'clock last evening i'm the home
of Emil Kokotovich. in the alley way
between Seventh and Eighth streets,
Just back of the residence of Edward
+. Cuddihy, who owns the building in
which the accident happened.
The kitchen was wrecked, and Mrs.
Kokotovich and a three-year- child
badly burned and frightened.
The woman's hair was burned off,
while the child was blown underneath
the kitchen table, receiving a number
OF cuts and bruises.
Just what caused the accident is
hard to determine. but 1t is believed
dynamite must have accidentally been
put into the stove.
The premises were visited early this
morning by a representative of The
News. The kitchen presented a ter
ribly wrecked appearance. Not single
piece of furniture was left whole in
the room. The stove had been
wrenched and torn apart and was ly-
ing in a corner of the room Parts of
the stove were twisted and bent. A
hole several feet in size had been
blown in the ceiling and parts of the
pipe were found lying in the upstairs
room, forced completely through the
ceiling of the kitchen. All the chairs
and the table used for dining pur-
poses, were so badly smashed up that
they are a total loss. while every win
dow In the downstairs part of the
house was blown outward, including
the storm windows. Not a sound pane
of glass was left, and one of the
storm windows was blown completely
from it's fastenings.
The theory is advanced that dyna-
mite may have been brought into the
home with some kindling wood. 1t is
said that it would have been absolutely
impossible for an accumulation of gas
to have caused such a wreck.
The contents of the kitchen is an
entire loss, not covered by insurance,
while the house is damaged consider
