GAS TANK
Lets Go At A CoshOCtOn
Plant
And Two Men Have A Very
Narrow Escape
(Coshocton Age)

Roy Moore, bother, and William
Miller, prominent transfer man, were
slightly injured and had a hair-rais-
ing escape from death, and the plant
of the Centennial Bottling Works,
near Fifth and Main streets was
wrecked at IL o'clock Monday morn.
ing when 50-pound gas tank contain
ing high pressure of carbonic acid
gas exploded in the bottling shop.
The loss to the plant is estimated
by Marion Patterson, part owner, at
about 5000, covered by insurance.
That Moore and Miller escaped
with their lives seems miraculous.
Both stood not three feet away from
the big iron cylinder when it explod.
ed breaking every window in the
plant out of the frame, tearing hole
through the roof and jarring the en-.
tire section of town. The roar of the
explosion was heard in almost every
section of town.
Moore was standing at the bottling
machine with his back to the big
iron cylinder used for containing the
gas used in pop and soda water. He
was about three feet away from the
tank. William Miller proprietor of the
Buckeye Transfer & Feed Stable in
the Schaich alley stepped into the
workshop to talk to Moore He was
standing on the opposite side of the
bottling machine from Moore
Without any warning and with a
loud roar the big gas tank which
stood against the wall of the building
let go. Glass, broken lumber and
pieces of iron fell in shower around
the men. Particles of the glass and
splinters of the lumber struck the
two men on the face and hands in
flicting slight cuts but not seriously
injuring them.
The gas tank which measures
about five feet long with a diameter
of about eight inches was blown into
many pieces. One of the smaller
pieces cut through half inch board
with which the room is ceiled and
went out through the roof. The larg-
or piece of the tank struck the wall
and glanced up through the ceiling
and out the roof. About one.fourth
of the roof was torn away. The tank
was found later on the roof of Itei.
mans plumbing shop building two
hundred yards away.

CHILDREN
MIS7REATED.
Two Little Girls From Knox
County Made To Beg
On The Streets Of Thirty
Towns In State Of Ohio
By Woman Who Promised To
Give Them A Home
The Children We're Brought
Back To Mt. Vernon
By Juvenile Officer Purcell
On Monday Night

Juvenile Officer Patrick Purcell re-
turned from New Philadelphia, o.,
Monday night, bringing with him
Mabel and Helen Johnson, aged 12
and years. Both young girls are resi-
dents of Knox county and are the
daughters of Mrs James Johnson,
whose husband was killed about one
year ago.
Mrs. Johnson is the mother of nine
children and since the death of her
husband has been unable to provide
for all her children. Some months
ago woman from Loudonville visit.
ed Mt. Vernon and agreed to take the
two children, Mabel and Helen, to
her home and there care for them in
proper manner.
1t vas recently discovered, how
ever, that instead OF sending the
children to school and giving them
a home, the woman compelled the
children to beg on the streets and il
has been found that the children
were in no less than 30 towns in var
ious sections Of Ohio. begging
The children told Juvenile officer
Purcell that they took in from IS
to SIS per day begging on the streets
and the money was all turned over
70 the woman, who agreed to give
them home. According to the state
ment of the children, if they did not
have good day begging then the
woman would beat them with
paddle. The oldest child exhibited
marks all over her body to prove her
statement. The Oldest child was
dressed in long dress to make peo-
pie believe that she was much older
than she really was.
A short time ago the two children
appeared on the streets of New Phil
adelphia and went from store to
store and from residence to residence
begging from the people. Finally Pro-
bate Judge Barnhill of that county
ordered the two children brought in
to juvenile court. The two children
were questioned by the probate judge
and to him they told their story, how
they left Knox county, how they were
compelled to beg and turn the money
over to the woman, and how they
were beaten if they refused to beg.
Judge Barnhill at once notified thu
Juvenile court of Knox county and
on Sunday, Juvenile officer Patrick
Purcell left for New Philadelphia and
arrived home with the two girls on
Monday night.
The woman who took the children
from Mt. Vernon, and who promised
to give them home and the proper
care and attention, Is now located in
Canal Dover, and 1t is quite likely
that some action will be brought
against her at an early date.
Upon reaching Mt. Vernon, Mon
day night the two girls were given
to their mother, but on account OF
her destitute circumstances she will
be unable to care for the children
and the authorities will endaavor to
find home for the two little girls
in Knox county. Boih girls were ss
ceedingly bright for their age and
the oldest is capable of doing house
work.
Juvenile Officer Purcell will en-
deavor to find home for them al
once.
