"The distillery of Dr. McMahon, on Main Licking, near Falmouth, in Pendleton county was destroyed by fire Tuesday morning about four o'clock.  The fire was supposed to be the work of an incendiary."  the Carrollton Democrat, January 22, 1870

 

     “A young gentleman from the country, evidently of a sporting nature, walked into Mr. Smith’s blacksmith shop one day last week, and while standing near the anvil, upon which Mr. Smith was welding some iron, a spark, it is supposed, found its way into the side-pocket of his cot, setting fire to a quarter if a pound of gunpowder, which exploded with a terrific noise.  The force of the explosion, together with his own exertions, blew the young man about 20 feet in a very cunning position.  No serious injury.” 
 From the Falmouth Independent, as reprinted in the Covington Journal, May 11, 1872
