"kELLW RAISED A
 SCARE, ALSO DICKENS
THOUGHT THE POWDER WAS NOT MUCH GOOD AND PUTS
 TOO MUCH.

In an endeavor to raise a large stump on the government school ground at Charcoal Point yesterday, John Kelley placed about four boxes of old powder underneath the stump in question to raise it roots and all. And while he raised it alright, it is said. he also raised the dickens. as the reporter expressed it. The noise of the explosion was heard a mile or more distant; but in the close proxi- mity of the stump, windows and doors rattled and scared nearY every body to death. Incidentally, it broke sev- eral blanks in the walk leading up to the ground recently constructed and otherwise tore up the walk in several places. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. at least none have been reported as having been injured by the terrific explosion.
 It is said that MT Kelly was fool ed by the quality of the powder It had been stored for long time. This led to the belief that it's quality had been impaired, and to make for it's deficiency, larger quantity was put under the stump that otherwise would have been used. The results, however, proved a faulty judgment.
