defied all efforts to explode it at that
time. There were eighty men in the
excavation at the time, but only few
of them were near the loaded hole.

sticks OF dynamite.
Scarcely t-ace was found in the ex.
cavation of the three men who had

and when the smoke cleared away
seven others who had been in range
OF the coucussion were stretched on the
ground, their faces and bodies torn
and scared.
Portions of the body Of an Italian
were found fully $50 feet from the
point where the dynamite exploded
and another body was found on top of
