Powder Plant Explosion Near Lakeside Repeats Tragedy
A boiler blast at the Independent Powder Company's Lakeside plant destroyed the mix house and killed a dog while injuring none of the workers besides the dog. Foreman Bent escaped as another employee Barnard warned others. The plant has exploded six times since installation and a past manager died in a prior incident. Affected workers suffer illness and the area remains tense as residents recall the previous blast. Nearby, Ernest Lear battles blood poisoning fears from a finger injury, and community notices a spelling match at Pleasant Hill schoolhouse tomorrow.
