George B. Magoun of the freshman class was seriously injured last Monday at his father's country seat at Islip, L. I. His injuries were received by the unexpected explosion of a charge of powder which had been placed in a stump. The powder had been placed by a workman and the fuse lighted. Magoun, thinking the powder had failed to ignite had stooped over the stump with a lighted match for the purpose of lighting the fuse when the explosion took place.
