Glass eye explodes as he looks at pie

by on Thursday, March 9th, 2017

Chicago.—Just as he was gazing with interest at a piece of pie, F. K Cosgrove’s glass eye exploded and he fell from his chair to the floor of a restaurant. He was soon revived.

Cosgrove is a farmer who lives near North Vernon and went to Hammond, Ind., on business. While there he ate in a restaurant, and a waitress was just bringing a piece of pie when his eye burst.

The eye had only been obtained a day or two before, and replaced his own eye, which was recently destroyed by an explosion of dynamite.
