Blown Up in a Well at Nanty-Glo

Elmer Gore, while employed in digging a well on property of Norman George near 
Nanty-Glo yesterday evening, put in a blast and ascended to the surface.  For some 
reason the blast failed to go off and Gore went down to see what was the matter and 
was in the act of pulling out the fuse when the charge went off and killed and horribly 
mangled him.

Mr. Gore leaves a wife and five or six children.  The funeral will take place tomorrow 
afternoon from the M. E. Church of which the deceased was a member.
