Dynamite Explosion Kills F.T. Adams, Seriously Wounds Lon Campbell, Oct. 28, 1923

Dynamite Explosion Kills Patterson Man

Hickory, N.C., Oct. 27—F.T. Adams of Patterson was killed and Lon Campbell of Elias was probably fatally injured here this morning when a charge of dynamite used in road construction on the Blowing Rock highway prematurely exploded. Campbell is at a local hospital. Advices reaching Hickory say a large charge of dynamite was inserted in rocks too soon after a smaller charge of explosive had been set off to enlarge the cavity in the rocks.
