Mine WELL LOADED;
BLEW THE FISHERMAN
Fate of Four Galway Delivers
Into Water Who Were
Curious

Galway, Ireland. June 25.-tCor-
respondence of The Associated Press. ]
Nine Galway fishermen were blown
to pieces a few days ago while ex-
aiming a German barrel NINE
which they had found at sea and
towed ashore.
Irish fishermen have made lately a
great many lucky hauls of barrels
containing petrol, tallow, oils and
similar treasures, supposedly from
torpedoed ships. This time they saw
a promising looking barrel afloat
some distance from land, with con-
venient handle on each side, and they
promptly towed it ashore, rolling it
up on the beach for examination.
Four men were in the boat, and six
more gathered around while the prize
was on the beach. One man, Joseph
OFlaherty, had a suspicion of dan
ger, and warned the others, but they
paid no attention to him, and he hid
himself behind a rock.
One of the fishermen removed a
couple of screws from the head of
the barrel, and then began to pull
out a piece of cord. The explosion
which followed was heard miles
away, and shook houses four miles
distant.
After a time O'Flaherty, who had
been wounded in the head with a
piece CT stone, stood up, but not a
trace of the mine or the men was to
be seen. There was only great hole
in the beach. Searchers found por-
ton of the fishermen's boat nearly a
mile away. A small boy whose at
tention was attracted to the group of
men on the shore was running to-
ward them just as the mine exploded.
One of his arms was afterwards
found near his home, but there was
no other trace of him.

FINEST CROP SLATED
FOR GOPHER STATE
Commissioner Fred Sherman
Is Optimistic; Conditions In
This County
limited Press Disnatch.1

st. Paul, Mimi, July 16.-The finest
crop for the period of the past TWEEN
ty years is predicted by reports that
have been received from crop exam
liners by immigration Commissioner
Sherman of this state. Cool weather
has held corn back somewhat, but
with the warm weather of the past
week it has shot up rapidly.
In Blue Earth county crop condi-

ported backward but better than last
year. Tame grasses and clover were
never before so good as now. On the
whole the crops are much better than
in 1915.
