explosion which blew out . portion Of
the store front In one OF the Brad
ish buildings adjoining the McNeen
block. Mr.. Wclch was in the room
at the time. and his exit out Of the
front door was somewhat accelerated
by the force Of the explosion. He
WAS quite painfully burned on the
back OF his neck. but no serious in
Jury resulted The back room was a
seething furnace in almost a moment
and there was little opportunity to
save any OF the stock. Tho fire de-
partment responded promptly to the
alarm and had water on the fire be-
fore the fire whistle sounded. quick
ly extingulshinE the flames. The
building was not insured and sustain

estimates his loss at $4,000. with
