molding department of the Augusta stove and range works exploded and
injured six men. James Brothers and Harry Insley were

through the side of the building and across the C. & O. tracks, a
distance of 300 feet. The building was badly damaged and the
loss will amount to several thousand dollars. The foundry is
owned and operated by E. H. Heuenfeld & Co. of Cincinnati."
