Mcmahon Fined After New Trial
Plea Is Over-Ruled

His plea for a new trial over-ruled,
Hugh Carey Mcmahon, well known
farmer along the National highway,
east of Grantsville, has been ordered
to pay a fine of 500 on drunken
driving charge. Sentence was imposed
last week in Circuit Court where a
jury had convicted him in January
He was also ordered to pay court costs
of $1660. Defense attorneys had asked
a new trial on the ground that the
court had excluded legally admissible
evidence concerning the condition OF
the weather on the night Mcmahon
was arrested.
Defense contended that dense fog
caused the erratic driving which re
suited in McMahon's arrest.

EXPLODING STOVE CAUSES
DAMAGE IN SMOUSE STORE
George Yutzy Escapes Serious
acknowledgement From Stove
Buries Itself In Side Wall
DAMAGE is ABOUT $4,000

A peculiar explosion within large
coal heating stove in the Frank A.
Smouse store on Monday morning
about 1880 o'clock, completely shat
tered the stove, blew out two large
plate glass windows forty feet dis.
tance at the store entrance on Second
street, injured George Yutzy, an en-
ploye, but not seriously, and did
damage to the stock nearby. A flying
fragment from the stove buried itself
six inches in the wall.
Some sheet metal, built around the
stove, probably saved Yutzy's life,
The force of the explosion threw hinllt
to the floor and he sprained his back
and arm, but apparently was not
seriously injured. DR.. C. P. Berger.
who examined him, said there were no
marks showing he had been struck by
any part of the stove.
People in buildings three doors away
felt the shock. 1t ratified dishes in the
Oakland Baking Company and shook
the Hinebaugh building. The force of
the explosion was also felt in the Glot-
felty restaurant next door. Cheston
H. Browning, another employee, and a
customer, Howard Maier, were not
injured. AS fire began to spread from
the red hot Goals the Oakland Fire De-
partment was called, responding in
less than five minutes, but the flames
were soon out, practically no damage
resulting. The water from the radia-
tor system, attached to the stove,
drained from the pipes and served to
help extinguish the fire.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined and in all probability
won't be. Some think that it was
dynamite cap attached to a part of
stick of dynamite, which could have
been in the coal. A number of people
felt that the dynamite cap itself could
not cause such an explosion, as the
stove was completely demolished. An
odor, peculiar to dynamite, was noted
in the building after the accident.
Others believe that accumulation of
coal gas was the cause, or that a tank
of water within the stove and used as
an auxiliary heat through radiators Ill
other parts of the store, became frozen
and burst.
The damage was estimated at about
$500, most of which is covered by in
surance, particularly the two windows,
valued at about $3.50 each.
The result of the explosion was con-
sidered peculiar. A glass enclosed
office within ten feet, had not a single
glass broken, although large window
on the opposite side of the room was
badly cracked. The door into the
Wareroom was not damaged. Forty
feet away, at the store entrance on
Second street, the two plate glass
windows and one smaller window were
shattered. The store is long and mar
row and the stock of goods along the
path which the force had to travel was
not injured in any way, not even can
seemed to be moved. A horseshoe,
which had been hung on the stove,
however, was found towards the front,
in candy case. A stove fragment
clipped off the spiggot to the vinegar
barrel, near the stove, leaving the
pipe" No vinegar was lost.
Repairs were started Immediately,
the windows nailed shut, rev stove
erected and customers We're being
served in a short time.
