STOVE EX KPLODED An Exciting Time in a Home on + Stuart Street. A Stuart street resident learned from a practical demonstration that it 18 very unwise to light a kitchen stove when the hot water system Is frozen. During the time that the owner of the home was absent from the city, he engaged a young man to care for his furnace and stove. The young man was in the act of lighting the kitchen stove during one of the very cold days, around Christmas, when without warning, he became aware of the fact that the hot water system had frozen, In less time than it takes to tell the tale, there was a terrific explo- sion, and when the smoke settled, it was found that the kitchen range had been blown to pieces. The stove was so badly damaged that it will have to be broken up for scrap iron. "YA piece of iron about & foof square was blown through the front door of the house and it is nothing less than a miracle that some person was not killed. The inside of the home. was not seriously damaged. Many citizens who were away from the city for Christmas returned home to find that the water pipes had been frozen. Alvin Leonard Eligh Passes.
