K|NGMAN HAS
EXPLOSION
Raymond Carr, Clerk for

Seriously Hurt in Acct
dental Blow Up of a
Curious Sort.

KINGMAN. Ariz.. jan. l6.-An ac-
cidentaI explosion occurred about 9:$o
last night which wrought havoc To
the Arizona Stores Companys store
located on Front street and in which
Raymond Carr. the delivery clerk, was
seriously injured.
While the cause is not known the
accepted theory is that Carr was in
the office Of The store loading a
shotgun when il was accidentally dis
charged and the charge entering u
F.oN of giant powder the basement
caused its explosion.
The heavily increasing business Of
the stores company has made il nee
.ssary to enlarge its quarters which
WAS being done by extending the
building back some 90 feet To- the
.,lley The work had 50 far advanced
that yesterday the partition between
IN" Old and new portion of the build
ing was being removed and as the
l.r,y one was not entirely completed
this left the store il partly open
condition. II seems that Carr had
arranged with another man connected
with the store To sleep there last
night in order To afford protection.
The damage probably will run To
between $3.50 and SlGb0 All the front
plate glass was blown out and broken
