Eugene O'Donnell a laboring man
some 40 years old. who lives on the road
from Brattleboro towards Guilford. was
instantly killed at "Crowelfs ledge" last
Friday morning. He was at work there

was tamping it down too hard. when
premature explosion followed and he
was blown into the air falling to the
ground at distance of some five or six
DDS from where the explosion occurred.
He was picked up dead; his face was
found to be terribly torn TO pieces and
doubtless he never knew what had hap
pened to him.
