Mr. Hamilton went to the blacksmith shop at Antioch Mills and he and Grandison Doggett attempted to solder a hole in a gas tank when it exploded with the above results. Word comes from his bedside that he is seriously injured. The gas tank was empty when the attempt was made to solder it, but there is always enough gas in a closed tank to form a vapor when heated. Mr. Doggett escaped with a severe shaking up. Mr. Hamilton is a son of Mrs. A.T. Hamilton of this city and is well known in this county.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 9 Nov. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 23 Pg. 1 Col. 7 Kelat, KY News Items An empty gasoline tank -- or is was supposed to be empty -- exploded last Saturday afternoon at Antioch Mills, making a terrific report, being hear for more than a mile away. The tank was brought to the blacksmith shop of Mr. Doggett by Mr. Russ Hamilton. There was a hole about one half inch in diameter in the side of the tank. Mr. Doggett with his torch was attempting to "sorter" this hole when the blow up came, as all such things do -- unexpectedly. The top of the tank was blown into "smithereens," Mr. Doggett felled to the ground, and the hair on the right side of his head badly singed, otherwise not harmed, but badly frightened. Russ Hamilton was knocked down, his clothing set on fire and Russ took to his scrapers a mass of flames. He fell exhausted in front of the store. Mr. Fred Rainey rushed to him and soon had the flames extinguished. He is pretty seriously burned, but Russ has a lot of "grit." A young Mr. Hamilton and a Mr. Sharpe were also injured. The boys learned from this experience that it won't do to monkey with an empty gasoline tank. The funny side of it all was not seen for sometime after the accident.
