Severson Picks Explosive with Pin Setting Off Charge Mrs. Harold Severson lost three fingers on her left hand and received other injuries Monday afternoon, when a dynamite cap she was holding exploded. Mrs. Severson says she has no idea how the cap got into her house. She picked it up and stood idly picking at it with a needle when it exploded. The charge tore her left hand in which she was holding the cap in such a manner that amputation of three fingers - her thumb, first and second digits, was necessary, and the palm of the hand was badly mangled. Part of her clothing was torn from her by the explosion and she received powder burns on her neck and chest. Mrs. Severson and 14-month old daughter were alone in the home at the time of the accident as Mr. Severson had gone to bring the two other children from school. Mrs. Severson, in spite of her pain, managed to call over the telephone for help, and several neighbors, hearing her, came at once to the farm. Harold Sullivan took her to Nissen Hospital from the highway in his car after Harold Schultheis had taken her that far by sleigh. It is now believed that the dynamite cap was one of several that had been used several years ago and had been placed in what was thought to be a safe place in the milk house. In some way they had become scattered and the children, not knowing what they were, had brought one into the house, where it was picked up by Mrs. Severson. The accident is the second in the family within a short time, Billy, the 7 year old son, broke bones in a leg in a fall last December, and is just recovered. The children are being cared for by their grandmother, Mrs. Henry Severson, where two of Mrs. Severson's children by a previous marriage make their home. [Mitchell County Press, March 8, 1945]
