Mont Foutty Blown to Atoms

Mondays Parkersburg Senti-
mel carried an account of the hor-
rifying death Of Mont EQUITY, an
oil-well shooter who formerly re-
sided at this place.
Mr.. EQUITY. who lived at
Branchland, in the southern part
Of this state, had driven to the
magazine containing the nitro
glycerin used in his business, to
get shot for an order he had re-
ceived. Two. horses were attach
ed to the wagon and Mr. EQUITY
was alone. About eight o'clock
the whole countryside was shak-
en- by a terrific explosion. Many
hurried to the scene, but all that
was visible was a great gaping
hole in the ground where the
magazine had stood. EQUITY, the
horses and the wagon had been
blown to atoms and only small
particles of either could be
found.
Mr.. EQUITY was located here
a few years during the height
or the Yellow Creek excitement,
and has many friends in this sec
ton who will be shocked to hear
of the dreadful accident which
cost him his life.
