Local Man Hurt
When Pressure
Cooker Explodes
Dalton Honeycutt, shop foreman
at Blakemore Chevrolet, is in Sham-
rock General Hospital, receiving
treatment for injuries received Sun-
day morning when a pressure
cooker exploded.
Mr. Honeycutt was burned about
the face, eyes, nose and hands, the
most serious being to his left eye.
The accident occurred about 11:45
am at the Honeycutt home, 409
East 3rd Strret.
The lid of the pressure cooker
blew off as Mr. Honeycutt started
to open it. The exhaust valve on
the cooker had stuck and much of
the steam had escaped. Frozen peas
were being cooked in the vessel.
The fact that Mr. Honeycutt was
wearing glasses is believed to have
prevented more serious injuries to
his eyes His glasses were not blown
from his face. He is now able to
open his right eye, but membranes
of his left eye are still not func-
tioning.
