ReportDescription: Deplorable Accident
Date: August 6 1879
Deplorable AccidentA private dispatch received here last night brought the painful intelligence that the wife of James M. Ballard, Esq., Sheriff of this county, was dreadfully burned yesterday afternoon. Mr. Ballard's house near Loretto took fire, but the fire was quickly extinguished. While Mrs. Ballard was engaged in removing some articles from a press , a powder horn exploded and set fire to her clothing. Her injuries were of such a character that they were expected to prove fatal. Mr. Ballard was in Lebanon yesterday and had started home about a quarter of an hour before the telegram arrived.
