Hamilton was in the chemistry laboratory at the time of the accident. On the day previous, the chem istry class had been experimenting with phosporous. This chemical, which is very explosive, must be handled with utmost care. The chemistry I class had left a small bit of it in a tank of w*ater, which meanwhile had leaked out, leaving the small bit of phosporous, which resembled a small piece Qf chalk. Hamilton was sitting near a gas burner and he, thinking the chemical was chalk, held it in the flame. It immediately exploded, causing a severe burn. Prof. G. R. Deatherage gave him first aid to the injury treatment and he was sent to a local surgeon for treatment.Another explosion occurred later in the day in the laboratory, but no one was injured.’ TheBoyd at Pearl and Daugherty streets. ,l]ayor» city attorney, city clerk, six | bill provides for the establishment of Miss Irene Boyd, a member of the a*dermen and a great many interested j a state utility board, which will regu-Junior class of the high school, was citizens.
