Capers of Two Boys Spark Fireworks Mayhem in Washington Po
Two mischievous boys in Washington Po set off a July display that drew a crowd, toppled a fridge, halted a passenger train, and injured several people including Mrs. Geo. Lindsay with a broken leg. They then tainted a creek by draining a 60 barrel oil tank, ignited oil with a burning match, and caused a mile long flare that overwhelmed firefighters and damaged a bridge and track. A bystander received a broken nose from the steam blast as water flooded the area and the train was stopped.
