Boys Injured
By Explosions Of
Dynamite Caps
• Continued From Page One
open. The boys put some of the
caps in their pockets and hid the
remainder of the box in the bush
es. One of the boys later took the
box home to his dad and asked
him what he should do with it. He
■was told to return the box and its
contents where he found it, and
to be very careful. Other boys de
nied having any of the caps, but
upon later questioning admitted
having had them but had thrown
them away.
An army odrnance officer was
asked about an army check-up on
the supply of dynamite caps in
stock on the base. He stated that
there were less than 200 of the
caps on the inventories of the
Ordnance and U. S. Engineers
Dept, and he knew of no other
stocks in the area.
The boys estimated that there
must have been at least a thou
sand caps <of the super-powerful
army type' caps in the box, as
they had divided quite a number
between them and still left the
box nearly full.
Through the efforts of Marshal
Mozee, the army sent Lt. Adams,
of the Ordnance department to
talk to the school children of both
the Territorial and Native Service
schools, and explain the danger
of the dynamite caps, caution
them to handle with care, and to
deliver any they may have or
know about, to the army, or report
them to police or school officials.
U. S. Marshal Mozee states that
every effort is being made to pre
vent further injury to the boys
who still have or may yet obtain
some of the caps, and that the
sincere cooperation of the parents
is requested in order to gather up
the caps still out.
The army urges that the caps be
turned over to the Military Police
and requests that those in posses
sion of the caps do not throw
them away where they can be
