Gas leak explodes under Pryor Decatur streets
A gas leak in a manhole under Pryor and Decatur streets exploded Saturday night, burning for about sixteen hours before being extinguished. The blast toppled manhole covers, damaged cables, and left 16 to 17 hundred telephones out of service. Mrs Lanford, injured in the blast, is seriously ill at 176 Edgewood avenue, with her son Horace and Grady Wells unharmed. Gas and telephone crews worked through the night to repair conduits and restore service within five days.
