OCR Text	Show DYNAMITE CAP SHATTERS UTE INDIAN BOY'S HAND A combination of an Indian boy, a small giant powder cap . and an ordinary safety match is capable of producing baneful re- j suits. This was fully demonstrated demon-strated on Rock creek Wednes-j day when the fif teen-year-old son of Tonegat procured the cap and match, lighted the latter and applied it to ' the former. The explosion that followed completely com-pletely shattered the right hand and tore off two of the fingers. Young Tonegat was brought to Duchesne, where Dr. Bjorr.son dressed the wound. It was necessary nec-essary to put the Indan boy under un-der chloroform to properly cake tare of the injured member. The lad secured the cap from the pack of L. W. Bryan, a prospec-tort prospec-tort who has been working for Dick Wanroads.
