Description

Full Text: Killed in a Gravel Pit
Death came with startling suddeness to John Wilson in a gravel pit two miles from Brampton, Saturday morning. In company with another man he was opening up the pit where a charge of dynamite had been inserted. Without waiting sufficient time for the charge to go off the men returned to the pit, when the explosion took place. Wilson was killed instantly, and John Wright sustained injuries which will probably cost him one of his eyes. The deceased was a blacksmith, living alone.
