NARROW ESCAPE FROM EXPLOSION
Charles Brakebill and Nat Fisher had a
narrow escape from an explosion of giant pow-
der at Chloride Flat last week. The powder
was kept in the corner of the cabin farthest
from the fire, but mysteriously ignited, one stick
going off and seriously injuring the eyesight of
Mr. Brakebill. He went outside and threw snow
in his face, v/hen Nat, who had been outside
the cabin, asked what was the matter, but re-
ceiving no answer looked in the door. Seeing
that the room was full of smoke and hearing
something frying asked Charley what it was.
He was informed that it was the rest of the
powder, at which both men ran for life, getting
only about sixty yards distant when the rest of
the powder exploded, blowing the cabin to
atoms.
