city and vicinity was terribly shaken
by an explosion which occurred in a
small building ON the summit Of hill
q mile from town, where was stored
five tons Of dynamite. The stuff had
been sent here on consignment from a
Chicago house to local hardware
merchant. It is presumed that a rife
bullet, fired by hunter into the build
ing, lodged in some powder and that
the person lost his life. The ground
was torn up to great depth
for some distance, while trees
and fences for many rods were
torn and twisted, and numerous trees
were pulled out by the roots. The glass
in every farmhouse for miles around
was shattered. In this city the effect
was disastrous to plate glass fronts and
windows in o number Of dwellings.
The shock came while people were on
their way to church and threw women
and children down and caused several
women to faint.
The village of Bloomer, 10 miles dis
tant from the scene, appears to have
felt the force more severely than here.
The scene of the disaster was visited by
thousands.
A handkerchief and piece Of a coat
