 LAKE CITy, Minn. July 15.-The lake shore waa made to reverbrate this morning with the thunder of dynamite, which was brought into reputation in the hope that it would be of help in bringing some of tho as yet unre. covered bodies to the surface. The country people who drove in from all directions yes- terday were again on had this morning, and residents of this place were also here at an early hour watching the workers. The mili- tary guard was kept all night at the beach, and they kept back the spectators to-day as they did yesterday.
 The smiling sky in no way reminded one of the great horror that had come upon this section of the state. Goodhue county, of which Red Wing is the county seat, reaches to the edge of Lake City, and the disaster occurred within the limits on the county. The fact that most of the victims were resi- dents of Red Wing, the bodies were taken to that city at once, the coroner there taking charge of them and preparing them for the inquest, which will be begun to-day.
