Bedford (IN) Weekly Mail, December 23, 1898, p. 1. The Harrodsburg Hustler says: "Just before going to press Friday, news came of another terrific explosion north of town on Paul Barnett's contract on the new railroad. A gang of men were working in a rock cut and had drilled a hole and put in a light charge of powder and dynamite to 'spring the hole,' as drillers call it, so a charge large enough could be put in afterwards to do what was needed. The light charge went off alright, seemingly, and the men returned to complete the work when a terrific explosion occurred severely wounding Thomas McGlothlin and Bert Treadway, and another man whose name we did not learn. McGlothlin's face was badly cut by flying stone, and he was injured internally, while Bert Treadway's right arm was badly lacerated, while the unknown man escaped serious injuries. None of the wounds are necessarily fatal."
