Morning Oregonian August 3, 1904
New Jersey,N.J.Aug 2- Joseph Campbell, a member of the company attached to a 
No.3 fire truck,was killed last night by the explosion of a fire 
extinguisher,which he had taken off the truck to use at a fire.
The extinguisher,it is said,was defective,and in place of having an entirely 
new bottom put in the damaged part had been soldered and was thus unfit to 
stand the strain put on it.
The fragment that struck Campbell broke three ribs on his left side,blew away 
the left side of his face and fractured his skull.He was taken at once to the 
hospital,where he died.
