The other two boys, Ronald, aired I, and Robert, aged 4 year, are suffering from a niitnber of flesh wounds In the (ace, arms and ligs, The caps, of which there were about a docen, were the remainder of sums used by the children's grandfather, the late U. H. White, about ten years ago for blasting p. big bluff, the contract for grading whlclt he had. The caps were attached to wire and 'Were Intended to be used In connection with an' electric battery. For years they had been In a basket on a high shelf in the outhouse, their presence entirely forgotten by the members of the family. - The children, while playing, found them and child like decided to ascertain if they would "go off." They secured some paper and ' made a smart bonfire, placing the caps on IV- When, the explosion came the eldest boy was leaning over the fire, and hundreds of the small particles of the ex ploded caps penetrated his face and prac tically his entire body, riocea of the caps pierced both- eyes and although the child was resting easily last evening the gravest results to his eyesight are feared.

When his father nd. mother ran out Into the yard, at tracted by the noise of the explosion and the cries of the children, the young lad. with the blood streaming from the numer ous 1 wounds Irt his face, called to them, "Tell granny I ain't hurt a bit." A little sister of the boys was with them but Just, as the lads placed the bunch of cap on the burning paper sue ran to tne side of the outhouse and was thus shielded -from the flying missiles when the explosion .occurred. Dr. Dean, the eye specialist, who was called to attend the eldest boy, stated after a second examination last evening that there was a bare chance of saving the yeslght although both eyes were serlouBly Injured, and It was evident that minute particles of the copper caps were Imbedded In both eye balls.
