Eight men were killed at the

Explosion of Giant Powder Re-
suits in Death at the Port
land Explorations.
COMPANY HELD LIABLE.
Coroner G.. Johnston, of L'Anse,
Conducted the Inquest at
Spur Saturday.

A fatal accident occurred at the
Portland explorations, in Spur
township, this county, Friday
morning of last week at about 10
O'Clock, brief mention Of which was
made in Saturdays's issue of The
SENTINEL, the particulars being
very meagre at that time. Nicholas
]. Peters, a blacksmith in the en-
ploy of the company conducting the
exploratory work, was the un-
fortunate victim. He was instantly
killed.
The accident was caused by an ex-
plosion of giant powder, and the
force of the explosion was felt at
Michigamme, three miles distant.
There was nearly a box and half
of the powder stored in a tool chest
in the shop where the young man
was working, and it is supposed
that spark from the forge flew
into the box. The unfortunate
young man was within seven or
eight feet of the powder when the
''stuff went off. "
Coroner c. Johnston, of this viii
lage, was summoned, as the scene
of the accident is just across the
line in Baraga county. The coroner,
accompanied by Sheriff Girard,
went down Friday afternoon. At
the inquest about dozen witnesses
were examined and their testimony
taken in writing, all of them being
men employed about the eXplora-
tions. The verdict of the jury was
that Peters death was due to care
lessness on the part of the company.
The young man who was killed was
only about IL years of age, and his
parents reside at Michigamme.

EXTRA SESSION LIKELY.
Gov. Bliss Thinks Legislature
Should Act on Some
Measures Shelvcd.

II is stated that Gov. Bliss is very
likely to call special session of the
legislature. 1t is known that he is
dissatisfied with what the legislature
has done, or rather with what it has
not done. The governor so ex-
pressed himself pretty plainly. The
following are few OF the bills the
governor wants the legislature to
pass during his term of office: A
bill reducing fares, on upper penin-
sula railroads, taxing sleeping car
companies, taxing telegraph COM
panies, an inheritance tax bill, an
anti-cigarette bill, Dingley joint
resolution providing for separa-
tion OF state and county taxes and a
bill amending the general tax law
on lines laid down by the tax com
mission. Those who have talked
with the governor look for special
session.
