December 18, 1959
Wet Work- Working in drenching rain, Pacific Telephone and Telegraph repairmen worked for three hours until 1.05 p.m. Tuesday to repair an explosion-shattered toll cable at Dundee. A boiler in a burning Dundee home exploded, slicing the nearby cable and cutting Yamnill county cities off from long-distance phone contact with outside points. Dundee firemen can be seen in background playing hoses on the destroyed one-story home. Occupant of the house, James Gray, was away from home at the time.
