MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Of the Orrepenti el the Howe— Dynamik
Under Pi
One of the luckie-t explosions of
dynamite on record occurred at the
bonis of Mike Muckier in ibis eity on
last its turd« y morning. Quantities
**f dynamite bad been thawed out in
Hie kitchen store lor the pe»t few days,
this being u-ed for blasting purposes
in a well now being sunk on the pro
perty. At the time of the accident it
was nut supposed that any of the ex
(Jueive yet remained in the stove. Mr.
Daily who bad charge of the well blast
ing is an caperl in the handling of ex
plosives, and is considered by all who
know him as a crank in carefulness in
this respect At the u
pluaMi Mr. Muckier and Mr. Daily
ware both down in the wall. Mrs
Muckier and the baby were in the room
at the time of the explosion and it is
a wonder bow either escaped being in
stantly killed, as the pièces of iron flew
of the ex
tbs tu
ssive* in the walla of the bouse. A
bote was blown in tits fl-or beneath
•he stove and it la a mystery bow the
five sticks of dynamite under the for
ward part of the store, withstood the
concussion and did not explode. Had
ibese espl-ah-d (be ImuHi sod occu
pants would have been blown to atoms.
Mr Daily think* a small quantiay of
lb# explosive muet have broken off
and rolled down pel ween the board* on
which be placed the powder to thaw
out and this becoming bested suffi
ciently, caused the explosion.
