Gasoline mix up causes miner lamp blast at Carlisle mine
Three Carlisle coal miners, John Kratch and brothers Owen and Pierce Ridenour, suffered burns after Kratch mistook gasoline for coal oil and tried to fill a lamp. They were treated by Dr. Robbins and will miss work for days as the wash house fire was quickly extinguished. A similar gasoline incident at The News office prompted caution about refilling burning lamps.
