DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
CAUSES LOSS OF LIFE
MRS. MOFFAT A VICTIM
Little Daughters, Blown 200
Feet, MiraculOusly Escape
Horrible Death.

Mrs. Peter Moffet was one of the
victims Of the terrible catastrophe
that happened at CleElum Wash, last
Thursday.
Many tons Of blasting powder fol-
the mines near Gle Elum were explod-
ed there last Thutsday afternoon from
unknown cause. About twelve tons
Of giant powder had been unloaded
from a car the day before onto a plat
form In front Of the magazine and
was allowed to remain there. This
had become very hot from the suns
rays during the early part of the day,
and, when the laborers attempted to
put 1t into the magazine in the after
noon, 1t is supposed some slight jar in
the handling set the powder Oft, ON &C
count Of its heated condition.
Besides the twelve tons OF giant
sixty tons Of black powder in a box
car on the track and several tons In
the magazine and 1t all went off at
once. 1t was one Of themost terrible
disasters Of Its kind that ever hap
pened ON this coast. Large rocks and
broken timbers were thrown over a
mile from the scene Of the disaster
and the bodies Of the laborers were
only a handful Of fragments when
picked up.
The Moffet camping outfit and
tent were only about fifty feet from
the magazine. Mrs. Moffat had her
two little daughters, MsrYaret and
Madeline on mat preparatory to Civ
ing them q bath, when the explosion
took place. And right here Is one OF
the strangest inc dents on record. The
children were carried 200 feet down
the hillside on thi. mat, over trees
and flying rocks. with hardly any
injury beyond q few scratches. In
direct line with the explosion and
where they we're dropped and just be-
yond where the tent stood was tall
fir tree. over which they must have
been raised over without harm The !
mother was instantly killed. and quite
badly mangled about the face.
Mr.. and Ars. Peter Noffat lived for
many years at Northwood. about two
miles northeast Of Lynden and still
own a large ranch out there which
Mr.. Noffat's nephew. Mr.. Will Mof-
fat. is overseeing along with his own.
They left here year ago last April
and were intending to come back this
winter and make this their permanent
home again. In fact they are pioneers
Of Lynden having lived on their ranch

and during that time Mr.. Moffat by
her sunny disposition won many
warm and lasting friends who will
greatly mourn her sudden demise.
