CHEBOYGAN, Mich. Sept ? Mrs. Fred Williams, living at Bear Point, on Crooked
|
|||
|
|
Lake, near this city was severely injured, and her seven year-old son was
|
|||
|
|
probably fatally hurt when a dynamite cap in the boys pocket exploded while the
|
|||
|
|
mother was spanking him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The little boy had been out in the field where his father was using dynamite to
|
|||
|
|
blow up stumps and had slipped one of the percussion caps which Mr. Williams
|
|||
|
|
was using in his pocket. He returned to the house, where his mother called him
|
|||
|
|
to be punished for some childish misdemeanor.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mrs. Williams used a shingle as the instrument of punishment. The first blow
|
|||
|
|
exploded the cap in the boys pocket, and the explosion tore a large hole in his
|
|||
|
|
hip from which he is believed to be dying. The mother lost two fingers and
|
|||
|
|
received a number of minor cuts about the face and body.
