Explosion at Powder Works Sparks Fatal Burned Youth
A powder works explosion in Santa Cruz California caused a 17 year old, Maxie Grimun, to suffer severe burns after leaping into a creek to escape flames. About 600 pounds of smokeless powder ignited, destroying the new priming powder intended for a gun in the cruiser Boxton. Grimun died hours later at home. The blast shattered nearby windows but caused no other major damage. In a separate report, a posse pursuit near San Diego ended with a Mexican fugitive killed by a mounted constable and a deputy.
