Killed by Explosion--Sherman Rude, of near Pickard killed while blasting stumps

Sherman Rude, aged thirty-five and single, was instantly killed yesterday 
afternoon while blasting stumps on the farm of Albert McKinney, near Pickard, 
west of Kempton.  The body of the man was badly mangled by the heavy explosion.
Mr. McKinney was working with rude at the time of the accident, they having 
been employed at that work the past two or three days.  About 3 o'clock 
yesterday afternoon Rude approached a stump for the purpose of looking after a 
fuse.  As he reached the stump the explosion followed.  His right arm was 
broken and bruised, and there were other injuries about the body, his head and 
chest showing signs of the frightful concussion.  McKinney was not near enough 
to the stump to suffer from the explosion, and Charles Alexander and Jesse 
Thurman , two neighbors, were approaching the men in the field at the time, 
but they escaped injury.
Rude was born in Clinton county, being the son of Al Rude.  he was a member of 
the I.O.O.F. and the Red Men, his membership being at Pickard.
The funeral will take place some time Thursday, interment being at the Dusky 
cemetery, a mile and a half northwest of Pickard.
