 Philmore Scaburg was attempting to explode a blank cartridge by hit ting it with hammer. It exploded. but the casing flew off and struck him in the back of the hand, infictng q painful wound. All four young men were given antitoxin treatment.
 Has Strange Accident Town Clerk Arthur Woodruff today recited an occurance, the like of which has probably never been seen in town.
 His son, Franklin, several days ago, during one of the thunder storms which have been fairly common, was looking over some of the fireworks he had secured for the holiday. He took out of a bag a handful of caps and was about to return them to the bag when they suddenly exploded. The boy had no matches at the time and the reason for the explosion was un- explained. He suffered slight burns which are now healing nicely.
 Mir. Woodruff is of the opinion that the electricity in the air set off the caps.
