FORMER HOLT COUNTY
MAN INJURED IN
STILL EXPLOSION
D. C. Frame, alias C. W. Hicks,
formerly of Ewing and Orchard and
now of Sioux City, is in the hospital
at the latter place as the result of a
still explosion at his Sioux City resi
dence recently. Frame was in business
at Ewing last year after moving to
that place from Orchard. Records in
the office of County Judge C. J. Ma
lone disclose that a marriage license
was granted to Charles William Hicks
and Mrs. Loretta Orpha Royce, both
of Sioux City, Iowa, on March 17,
1922, and that they were married by
the county judge on that date. Fol
lowing is an account of the accident
at Sioux City:
Soux Cty, la., May 4.—As the result
of the explosion of an illicit moon
shine still in the basement of his
home, D. C. Frame, 1112 Hill avenue,
is in St. Vincent’s hospital, suffering
from a badly mangled face and right
arm. Frame was using the name of
C. W. Hicks.
The explosion occurred shortly after
7 o’clock Saturday morning while
Hi As was operating the plant. When
police and firemen arrived in response
to calls put in by alarmed neighbors,
they found the house badly wrecked
by the explosion.
Neighbors tiold police that Frame
crawled out of a basement window
soon after the explosion and ran to
his automobile. His wife, clad in her
nightdress, and their small child, were
already in the car. Although terribly

The Nebraska State Bank
mangled by the explosion, Frame
drove the car away.
Later they were located at St. Vin
cent’s hospital to which place Frame
had driven.
Part of the moonshiner’s face had
been torn away by the force of the
explosion and one arm was so badly
lacerated that it is believed it will be
necessary to amputate. Loss of the
sight of one or both eyes may result,
it was stated.
Fire which broke out after the ex
plosion, was quickly extinguished by
the fire department with only a nom
inal loss.
After searching the place police
found 87 gallons of finished moonshine
which they loaded into the police car
and took to the police station.
According to Frame, he moved here
from Ewing, Neb., about four months
ago and, being unable to find work
and having a wife and baby to care
for, was forced to manufacture liquor
to make a living. He said that he
had been in business at Ewing, but
sold out because of a dull season and
came to Sioux City.
“I had just awakened and went into
the cellar,” Frame told a local re
porter, “when the still exploded. It
blew me half way out a cellar window.
My wife, with the baby in her arms,
rushed out to assist me and we jumped
into the car and went to the hospital.”
When asked what prompted him to
operate a still after having gained a
repuation as a reliable merchant at
Ewing, Frame replied:
“I had a wife and baby and had to
support them. After being unsuccess
ful in my search here for work, the
only way I could see was to operate a
still. I guess I was just unlucky,
that’s all.”
An examination at the hospital re
vealed that Frame had received sev
eral large burns on his arms and
hands, and his face was scorched. One
side of his head was badly mangled
by the force of the explosion, and
most of his hair was burned off.
While his injuries are painful, his at
tendants stated that they were not
serious.
At the scene of the explosion police
found the large 50-gallon still which
exploded, 87 gallons cf distilled alco
hol, and a large quantity of rubbing
alcohol from which Frame was mak
ing the liquor. A small still made
from a quart milk pail also was found
in the house with a large number of
rallon containers, copper coils, glass
ottlcs and a gas plate. All of the
mipment was removed to the police
’•tion where it will be held as evf
' e againt Frame.
When he recotars from his injuries,
came probably will be arraigned for
the illegal manufacture of liquor and
maintaining a liquor nuisance under
the city ordinance, state law and fed
eral law, police stated.
