Yeung Boy Manufactured Gun Powder,
Stuck it In
Steve, Received Charge In Head.
{years of age in Waverly who last Sat-
iurday conceived the idea that he was
a chemist, and then proceeded to give
ia practical demonstration of his abil-
{ity. He showed that he was practical
and that he could make gun powder
that would go off. He is nursing a
badly lacerated head as the result, and
he will probably not experiment very
{soon again. The boy is William Dim-
{mock and his parents are Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Dimmock. - He had lefirned
the ingredients that constitute gun
powder namely, cloride of potash salt
peter, charcoal and sugar. He procur-
red them In some manner and mixed
them together so as to make a very
effective gun powder. He then wanted
to see If his efforts at manufacturing
an explosive was successful, so he
procured a piece of lead pipe, and
melting one end succeeded In sealing
it up, after which he drilled a fuse
hole in it. He then had a barrel that
would make a cannon, and he proceed-
ed to put in a good charge of the
chemical compound. Having put the
powder in the barrel he wadded it and
then put in some lead on top the
charge, and placed the butt end be-
tween the grates of the kitchen stove,
with the muzzle sticking out into the
room
He waited for a short time without
results, and then got down in front of
the stove with the side of his head
near the end of the improvised can-
non. He took one squint into the fire
and listened intently for any hint of
an explosion. Just then there was a
roar that shook the house and the boy
had gotten results He got most of
it through the left ear the pieces of
lead tearing it and entering the head
Dr. Harnden was then hastily sum-
moned, and proceeded to pick lead out
of the boy's eranium He removed
some 20 pleces in all. None of them
had gone through the skull but the
ear and the side of the head were
badly torn No very serious conse
quences are expected to result

PRIMARY ELECTION
REQUIRED MUCH WORK.
Only 35 Ballots Cast But it Took Un-
til Midnight for the Board to
Finish its Labors.
South Waverly—The new general
primary brought out a small vote in
South Waverly last Saturday, only 35
ballots being cast, but for all that the
election board discovered that it had
a Lig job on its hands when It came
to counting up and making out the
necessary papers, and they only re-
celved half pay at that. It was nearly
midnight when the board had finally
finished its labors. A complete set
of papers had to be made out for
each party, and several duplicate sets
for various purposes, and while it
took only about half an hour to count
the ballots, It was an all night job to
fix up the papers to show how the
primary went
The vote was as follows
Democratic.
