The death of Earle Johnson, which was caused by the explosion of a keg of powder in the Smokey Hollow mines at Hynes' City on last Monday afternoon, is one that is most horrible to think of. About 11 o'clock on that morning Mr. Johnson was filling an old coffee pot from a keg of powder when a spark from either his pipe or lamp set the powder afire, and a fearful explosion resulted. The body of Johnson was found in a badly burned condition and his clothing had caught fire and burned the flesh on nearly the entire body. He regained consciousness and said the explosion was the result of a spark from his lamp. He died at four o'clock the same day in great agony. He leaves a wife and small child. Coroner Gray was advised of the accident and went to Hynes' City but did not consider it necessary to hold an inquest.
