Gas Station Rocked by Six Explosions Near Gallipolis
A Gallipolis filling station owned by E. K. McAllister of Vinton was rocked by six blasts early Monday afternoon. Night manager Wayne Kemp, 24, stood near the first explosion and was untouched but frightened. He blamed broken pipes carrying bottled gas for the destruction that tore up floors and knocked pictures from the wall of the adjacent house. Repairs were planned as business activities were limited to gasoline sales.
