HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
Boys Put Dynamite Caj on Stove
One Dies, Other Badly Hurt
A frightful accident occured at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Marsh at
Milwaukie, Monday afternoon when
their two young sons Roy and Law
rence, found a dynamite cartridge
near their home, which exploded tear
ing the arm from Roy's body, badly
lacerating his face and painfully in
juring his brother, Lawrence. They
were hastened to the St. Vincent'
Hospital where every care was given
them, but Roy died from his injuries.
His brother will probably recover.
The little boys had returned to the
family home shortly before the accl
dent occurred, hving been at play
with several other little playmates
They had in their possession the dy
namite cartridge, and asked their
father what it was. Having the ap
pearance of a blank crtridge, the
father not carefully examining as to
what the boys had m their posses
sion, was horified to hear the explos
ion and seeing his little sons fright
fully mangled before his eyes.
The family is in poor circumstanc
es and the good people of Milwaukie
are taking up a subscription to
which all are freely subscribing. The
father and mother are prostrated ov
er the accident and a gloom has been
cast over the town as the family is
well known and held in the highest
esteem.
The dynamite was left by careless
workmen.
