DYNAMITE SHOTS
ROCK SOUTH OF
TOWN RESIDENTS
(Snecial to The Argus. }

Aledo. June Farmers living
south of the city on the Burgess
road were startled one afternoon
the last of the week by a tremen-
dous explosion which seemed TO
rock the community and streWed
chunks of wood over considera-
BILE area.
The cause of the commotion was
the blasting of two large stumps
near the Elmer Fuller home, by the
Mercer township road crew under
the direction of Commissioner l. ID.
Fender. According to the report OF
these men, 20 sticks were placed
under one stump and q under the
other and the charges touched OF.
The result was fine evidence OF the
power of the explosive. Chunks OF
wood were scattered over radius
of some forty rods and excavations
made which would have made a
good start on a cellar. In the me-
lee the telephone lines of the Peo-
pies Telephone company suffered
considerable damage, but were
placed in working condition the
same afternoon. Mr.. Fuller, who
was working in his garden, was
somewhat startled to have a good
sized piece of wood rain down a
few feet away and others at a
greater distance.
