    3. Lebanon Daily News, Saturday Evening, July 8, 1876 Burned with Powder Yesterday morning a little son of Capt. W. Harry Boyd, named Guy, was playing with a box of powder, and wishing to explode it, threw a lighted match in it. The powder did not ignite at first and the little fellow looked into the box just as the powder exploded His face and hands were burned in a horrible manner and his sufferings were fearful. He frantically begged his mother to kill him to relieve him from the excrutiating pain. Dr. Gleim, formerly of Lebanon, was called in and attended to him, and this afternoon he is resting somewhat easy although he suffers great pain.-Pottsville Evening Cronicle of Thursday
