Mr. Barton was at wntt nnl.i

miracle that Mr. Woo J, a young
man who was in the field. wa nnt
also killed. He had started to the
spot where the boys were and was
called back bv Mr. Bnrr, whn
wished him to help him with some

would hvae fallen a victim in tho
explosion.
The coroner of Dallas was called
up, but be concluded that an nffi.

stated that he had no woik to do
this morning on the' farm and
thought he would go out and make

Mr. Biker was a young man of
about 62 years of aire, and well
known here,, having been in this
city for a number of years. His
death comes as a terrible shock and
calamity to the stricken family.
No blame ia placed for the accident.
It is thought that the sudden con
