THREE HURT
IN EXPLOSION
At WESTON
Many Persons Have Miraculous
Escapes from Death When
Gas Lets Go.

WESTON. April 21-Three per.
sons wcie injured and many others
had miraculous escapes from death
when gas that had accumulated In
the basement OF the Pomroy pool
room and Allman's grocery store ex-
ploded about 6 o'clock Thursday
evening. The injured are:
William Curtis, aged 10, blown a
distance of fifteen feet from the rear
Of the pool room into Lynch and
Pritchard's bakery, next door. He
landed on one OF the hot ovens and
was badly burned. -
Jesse Hurl, aged about 40, badly
cut by flying glass.
Wayne Wolfe, young son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Wolfe, blown out the
front door Of the pool room and
slightly injured.
None of the injured is in a crit
ical condition.
Cecil Collins. an employee of the
pool room, was hurled out through
q plate glass window in front OF the
building. but was uninjured.
That SO few persons were injured
by such terrific explosion seems to
have been due to- the fact that the
explosion happened at the supper
hour when the streets wero practical.
ly deserted. Only three or four per-
sons were In the pool room and less
than that number in the store.
A leaky gas pipe connected to a
water heater in the basement Of the
building is thought to have caused
the explosion
The force Of the explosion was so
great that windows in the Odd Fell
lows building across the street were
shattered.
