Two Have Narrow Escape
When Drill Shoots Stones

Frank Wolfe, of 35s South Eigh-
teenth street, and William Haldeman,
of Herr street, employed on the Spen-
Ger street sewer job, had narrow es-
capes this morning when a frozen
drill was thawed ut the tool worlSE OF
b. c. Murray, Jamestown road.
The worlSmen had taken a drill TO
the tool works to have 1t thawed. The
ends of the drill were lchoked with
small stone and mud. When the tool
worker placed the drill in the fire to
thaw it, water frozen in the middle of
the drill became steam and the small
stones were expelled with the force of
a gun Small stones flew past the two
men who were in a direct line with
the explosion, and imbedded them
selves an inch in woodwork behind
them One stone went through Wolfe S
sweater, and four passed through the
sleeve of Haldemans coat before en-
bedding themselves in n door.

Lawson has been convicted for murder

Whether it is true or not that the
