Death and Destruction Follow When Teeth of
Steam Shovel Strike Concealed Dynamite
SIX MEN INJURED AND OTHERS NARROWLY ESCAPE
Heavy Charge of High Explosives That Was Supposed to
Have Been Fired But Missed, Is Dug into by Dpper
of Big Shovel-Bodies of Victims Mangled
and Machinery Is Demolished

more than 45 kegs of giant powder
and a portion of box of dynamite
were in the hole.
Peculiar Incident.
A peculiar incident is cited relative
to the death of Cranesman Zwilling
1t is said that ZWilling had not been
on the shovel for a number of weeks
his place being taken by another man
who was discharged early yesterday
morning for remaining away from
duty without proper leave. Zwilling
returned to the crane to take the
place of the discharged man and met
his death. The regular fireman of the
crane engine was also off duty yes
terday, and escaped the effects of the
tremendous shock.
II. E. Stevens, a member of the firm
of Winston Brothers, said last night,
while at the scene of the accident,
that the occurrence was the most dis
astrous which has attended the con-
struction work carried on on either
the Northern Pacific or the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound lines since
the work was started. He said that
1t was most remarkable since the
work was just being closed up. Mr..
Stevens also stated that the accident
was one which could scarcely be
avoided, and there was no one who
could be held responsible for it.
Unusual Accident.
He said that such accidents as that
of yesterday afternoon We're not at all
frequent, and gave it as his opinion
that the charge was one Of two or
three others which were timed to ex-
plode simultaneously The failure Of
this particular one to explode with the
others could easily be overlooked in
the general effects Of the other explo-
sions.
Coroner Kendrick was called from
Missoula to Nimrod to care for the
bodies of the dead and will probably
be in attendance at the inquest to be
held by the Granite county authorities
today.
A number of members of the Win
ston company went to Nimrod vester-
day afternoon on a special train
made UP for that purpose.
None of the dead are permanent
residents of Missoula or of this vicin-
ity, and are unknown except in The
camps in which they have been at
work.

considerations the constitutional limit
OF Indebtedness would be exceeded.
The lower court found for the county
officials, but this is reversed and a
permanent injunction is ordered to
issue, restraining the letting of the
contract for the building of the bridge.
