Another bomb goes off in Oregon

One person killed several injured near Newport Or. July19. So called cannon was described as have a barrel two feet long and TWO inches wide, judging by what was left, it looked like a sloppy thrown together wheeled bomb.

Same one that was posted a few days ago.  Seal Rock is 4 miles from the town of Newport airport.  Names are the same too.

T&M
Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!

From the poem  Screw-Guns  by Rudyard Kipling
