Explosion Causes Panic In
Osyka. Miss.

Osyka, Miss, Aug. 6.-The de-
sire of a small negro boy to play
a game of cards last night is
supposed to have been the cause
of an explosion of 200 pounds Of
dynamite which killed the boy,
wrecked a barn belonging to
]. o. Williams, killed two horses
and a COW, and broke thousands
of widows all over town. The
explosion came at 9:15 o'clock
when there were few people on
the street. This fact probably
prevented a heavy loss of life.
The town was thrown into q
panic by the explosion. The
negro was blown into such small
pieces that enough of his body
could not be collected for burial.
Property worth $1,000 was de.
stroyed.
The barn in which the dyna-
mite was stored is the business
part of the town. The boy, who
is supposed to have caused the
explosion, worked for Williams,
owner of the barn.
He is said to have remarked
that he was going into the barn
to get q pack of cards out of a
grip. The grip was known to
contain dynamite caps. It is
supposed that the grip slipped
from his fingers and exploded on
the floor, igniting the dynamite.
In the homes of Williams, D.
]. Elzey and B. F. Simmons
were nearest the scene of the
explosion. The force of the
shock rocked many buildings on
their foundations, broke practi-
cally every window in. them, and
even wrecked furniture inside.
The dynamite had been stored
in the barn by Williams Bros,
road contractors.
The contractors suffered the
heaviest losses. More than 500
worth of their property was de.
stroyed.
