Explosion Injures Five In Haskell County Family
A Sunday night explosion and fire near Stamford destroyed a rural home and injured five members of the Grupe family including Mr and Mrs Arnold E Grupe Sr and Jr and their three year old grandson. Mrs Grupe Jr was moved to Hendrick Memorial Hospital Abilene with second and third degree burns. The cause was not determined but fire chief Tom Watson suggested a possible butane gas leak. The Grapes were moving into the home on a 500 acre Ballard ranch. Local clubs and a bank fund are aiding the family with donations.
