which wrecked the six-room home of Farmer W. S. “Doc”
Reid of Fuquay, Rt. 2, Friday night, but miraculously left
the four occupants unharmed.
Reid said today that Allen New
ton, 48, of Fuquay, Rt. 2, charged

blast was set off to “get” his son,
Edward Reid.
Reid, his son Edward and two
daughters, Margaret, 13, and Fran

that the difficulties will only start,
when the firm negotiations begin. ...
