BLOWN BY DYNAMITE
Explosion In an Evoleth Mine laid to
Angry Workman.

Eveleth, MIMI, June Cat $3.50 at
night, the town was aroused by q ire
mendous blast, followed by violent
kissing sounds, as of escaping steam
or air. 49,. =,
It was found that the pipe line, by
which compressed air Is furnished at
No. Spruce mine to No. 4Fayal mine,
for use underground In the Fayal had
been blown up at an expansion joint
with dynamite. A piece of the ex-
pansion sleeve was torn out and the
manner in which the pipe was denied
showed conclusively that 1t was the
act of some miscreant. A burned
piece of fuse was also found nearby.
All clews obtainable are being fol-
lowed up. The outrage is attributed
by some to the feeling kept up by the
remnant Of the union faction. Some
of these men are said to have remark
ed that the mines would yet have
trouble.
