Four Boys Hurt in Corydon Nitroglycerine Caps Accident
In Corydon last Saturday four boys were badly hurt when nitroglycerine caps exploded while they played with them. The first victim Raymond Arnett lost the ends of his thumb and two fingers, while Morris and Shireman suffered similar injuries. Freddie Applegate was injured but less severely. Town authorities investigated the source, with evidence pointing to a large box at the McGrain rock quarry and possible sewer pipe finds. The incident prompted a town warning to rid pockets of the dangerous caps and prevent further harm.
