COAL OIL AND DYNAMITE
EXPLODE AT LUXORA
Osceola, Sept. 1.—■ Sunday afternoor
the combined power of two car-loads
of coal oil and a quantity of dynamite
wrought havoc in the town of Luxors
five miles north of here.
The railroad depot in the place wai
utterly blown into fragments and ev
erything in the immediate vicinitj
was destroyed.
There were three terrific explosions
The first intimation of anything amiss
was when the two cars loaded with
coal oil and drawn up on a siding
and close to the depot were discov
ered ablaze. In a minute there was
an explosion that threw blazing oil in
every direction.
The depot was soon a mass of flames
A second explosion of oil occurred,
and immediately afterwards a quan
tity of dynamite lying on the depot
platform exploded. This threw burn
ing brands broadcast anti house
standing close to the depot took fire
but was extinguished.
The three powerful explosions fol
lowing each other in such close suc
cession created consternation through
out the town. Citizens flocked to the
scene, but kept a respectful distance
from the fire for fear of another ex
plosion.
It. was little less than miraculous
that no one was hurt. By a mere
chance there was no one in the depot.
The depot master had just stepped
out.
The origin of the fire in the box
cars from which resulted the demol
tion of the depot is not known posi
tivety, but it is is supposed that small
boys started it.
Farmers, when you come to New
port, put up your rigs and horses at
Robinson’s Feed and Livery Stable.
The horses will be well fed and looked
after carefully. lOwtf
