Powder Burned Quarryman

In an accident of uncertain cause,
Wilbur Clark, QuarIyman employed
rs a powder man ut the No. 10 quar-
ry of Boutwell,, Milne and Varnum,
was burned on the right leg, arm and
right side Of his face Thursday
morning by the ignition of Il charge
Of powder which he was pouring into
I. scam hole for !; blast. 1t was said
at the hospital that his cycsight was
not impaired but that the side OF the
face was much blackcrcd. The 9TH
CT injuries were not considered so
bad as the burn on the face.
Clark himself cannot explain how
the powder happened to explode but
he said that Il match may have drop
ped from his pocket and wa3 stepped
Oh while he was pouring the powder
into the hole. Another theory is that
Clark's pipe may have dropped into
the hole when a quantity of dirt was
being placed in the bottom of the hole
preparatory to the placing of the
charge of powder and that when the
powder was poured into the hole
there came the flash of fire which
swept up the right side of the mans
body. 1t is said that the cxplodcr had
not been placed in the hole.
The amount of powder sthat went
off is not certain, but there may have
been as much as two pounds.
The injured man was attended by
Drs. Il. II. Bailey and J. II. Woodruff
and was then brought to the Barre
City hospital, where he was made as
comfortable as possible. 1t will be
some weeks before his burns heal SUI
ficicntly to permit him to resume
work. Clark resides in Glanitcvllc
and has a family.

BARNET

Wednesday evening, Wilbur Nelson
and family started in their big car for
the wedding of their son, William, in
Pcacham. Henry Gilfilian was driving
the car. The brakes had not held
we'll before and Mr.. Nelson told the
boy to tell Henry before they started
but the boy neglected to do so and
when they reached Center Meeting
House Hill, which is very steep, Hen
ny found for himself the trouble
with the brakes and that he had no
control of the car, but he did what
showed he had wonderful presence Of
mind. A small building used for tools
used in caring for the cemetery stood
near the first lap of the hill and he
ran his car into that rather than to
dash down the steep hill and take the
results that must have followed in
that case. 1t was Il wonderful cs-
cape for Mr.. Nelson and family. The
building was moved Off the founda-
ton over three feet by the blow when
the auto struck and the auto was
badly injured.
Mr.. Nelson soon procured another
car and they proceeded on their way
to the wedding which occurred at the
home of the bride, Miss Gladys Crcig.

NEW PORT FIRE

The saw mill in the International
Mill yard. owned by Prouty G. Miller
Lumber Co., was totally destroyed by
irc at 9 o'clocy Friday night, June 20
The building was two story stYuc-
turc 1O0xl0 feet and was we'll equip
ped with latest modern machinery.
The loss is estimated at nearly
$4,000 with about $4,000 OH prop
crty.
The mill employed about 25 men
and was one of the largest and best
lumber plants in northern Vermont.
The fire started about S.45 and by
the time the alarm sounded the fac
tory was u complete mass of flames
and beyond the control of the fire
department. There being so much
dust in Il mill of this kind the fire
spread rapidly and burned so ficrccly
that when the fire department arrived
the boarding was practically burned
through.
Three streams of water were turn
cd on the blaze and it was at first
thought the frame of the building
would be saved, but owing to the size
of the structure and there being only
three streams to play on it the build
ing was soon entirely consumed.
The fire ragged so ticrcely that for
time it was uncertain how far it
would spread, but the fire department
handled the situation in good shape
and us there was no wind at the time,
it was soon controlled or the loss
would have been more serious. The
ward was packed full of piles of lum-
Der but none of them got on fire.
The firm was well pleased with the
work of the fire department.
The fircmcn played streams of
water on the machinery but how
much it was damaged is uncertain
The fire Illuminated til sky for miles
around and drew crowds of people
who came in autos from all dircc-
, lions.
There was some confusion among
The members of the fire department
when the fire first started. The fire
alarm failed to work and only struck
three times and did not ring in any
box number The alarm coming at
the time the curfcw rang, many
thought it was the curfcw sound.
But the mill and engine whistles kept
/ blowing and the location was soon
discovered.
The Prouty e. Miller firm has been
hard hit by serious fires, this being
the fourth since 1914. The Intcrna-
tional mill was burned July 8, 1914,
Prouty G Miller saw mill was struck
by lightning and totally destroyed,
July 20, 1917, the G. II. Prouty resi-
dencc was nearly ruined by fire Sept
cmbcr 25, 1917.
Members of the firm stated new
mill would be erected but much small
c. in size as they have about a million
and u half feet of lumber yet to saw.

The houses are to be built on modern

MEN RESCUED
 AT SEA

Two men, J. Doolittle and A. Lynd. sey, connected with the James outfit, on Princes Wales Passage, were res cued at sea four day ago by Capt. Harry Schwarzer of the San Juan'S gas boat Helen. Doolittle and Lyndsey were out in large life boat, equipped with 10 horse power engine, when the propelling force stopped and re fused to work. The men dropped their anchor, went to sleep, and when mora ing came found themselves out to sea. The two men got in small skiff tend CT and started for somewhere. Capt. Schwartzer, on his way to Seward from the logging Camp at Day Har Dor sighted the two men off Cape FL lington and went to the rescue, taking them back to their camp. The gasboat Snowstorm is now out searching for the missing boat.
 Capt. Schwartzer arrived in DOT; ast night with several men from San Juan'S logging camp and will probably go out within a few days.
