Explosion Injures Three Men Blasting Stumps
Late Wednesday evening Joseph Frazier Wallace Coons and Charles Proffitt were badly burned and injured by a dynamite cap explosion while blasting a stump. A bucket held caps exploded seven at once as Proffitt lit the fuse, forcing a scramble for safety and a later secondary blast. Proffitt and Coons suffered burns and a finger removal while Frazier aided the injured men, narrowly escaping harm himself. The accident's exact cause remains uncertain, with theories including dropped knife or match falling into the bucket.
