While Jimmie BLAIN, of Channahon, was carrying water for the men that are working on the concrete bridge over the river near here a few days ago, he picked up a dynamite cartridge which exploded and blew off the thumb and two fingers on his left hand, and tore his thumb on the right hand. He was brought to town and Dr. BRINCKERHOFF dressed the injuries at once and the victim of the accident is getting along nicely.
