Benzine Ignited.
Central City Argus says:

Central City Argus says:
Central City in general and "Red''
Campbell in particular received col
siderable, shock last Friday night
when Campbell used lighted Ian
tern to see how full of water rail-
road tank was. His discovery came
near costing him his life.
Young Campbell, who is the son of
the. photographer, was employed by
the water company to fill railroad
tanks for the mines song the l. C.
which are compelled to buy water.
Three cars had been placed on the
warehouse switch back of the Cen
ural city Laundry. to be filled with
water for the Woodson mines. All
three cars were billed as empties,
and were supposed to be empty. A
fire hose was turned into the first c;
and allowed to run for some time.
then Campbell climbed up on the tank
to see how near full it was. When
he held his lantern over the man
hole there was flash and a terrific
exp osion.
1t seems that the car had been
loaded with benzine and there was
probaly considerable benzine left in
the car when the water was turned
In. A gas was formed, and when the
open lantern was put over the man
hole the gas ignited. Had the man
hoe been smaller half the town
might have been blown up. as the
tank would have exploded with ter
rifle force. But fortunately there
was an opening enough for the force
to go upward. and brs liant flash
and very Loud explosion was the only
result.
Campbell hardly remembers how he
got down off the car, but thinks that
he jumped backward and dropped
fifteen feet to the ground. His face
was not directly over the hole. or he
would have been killed. As It was.
he was burned about the nose and
mouth. and his hair. eyebrows and
lashes were singed off. He was TAX
en- to the water company's office and
treated. and then removed to his
home. He 10 now resting well and
no serious consequences are feared.
