to Jessamine Co. Boy

Barton Masters, s years old,
was taken to a Lexington hospi-

Nicholasville suffering from what
attending surgeons say probably
will be fatal injuries, received
when a dynamite cap, with Which
he was playing in the kitchen OF
the Masters home, exploded. The
child either threw the cap in the
stove or it it with a hammer, it is
thought. The kitchen was a COM
plete wreck and the boys right
arm was blown off, one eye put
out and the sight Of the other eye
probably permanently impaired,
besides cut and burns about the
face and body. The boys father
lives on the farm of F. d. Knight,
