Eight Children Die in Watertown Shell Explosion
Eight children aged seven to sixteen were fatally injured by a seventy five millimeter shell blast on the back porch at Dimmich Street. The device, kept as a curiosity by Edward G. Workman and William L. Salisbury, is believed to have exploded from sun heat or a mallet struck ignition. Windows shattered within a wide radius as the youths played croquet in the yard. Council will hold a postponed meeting to discuss a Kiwanis backed petition to abolish the front park near the post office to ease traffic. A related informal resolution urges health officials to allow residents on Oconee Street to install sanitary closets instead of sewer connections, citing high sewer costs.
