BUTTE - Natural gas leaking from a supply line is what caused an explosion here Sunday that seriously injured a retired priest, fire marshal John Lasky said Monday.

The blast was ignited when the Rev. Jim McCarthy, 71, tried to light a cigarette while taking a bath in his four-plex apartment building, Lasky said.

2. That's too bad. I love crusty old Butte, even with all the

heavy metals in the drinking water and the populace of walking wounded.

Sure could use me a Pork Chop John's pork chop sandwich right about now.
