According TO the story brought in

cache of several sticks of dynamite
and under the impression that If

old gun. had proceeded to grind it in
a sausage grinder. When the explo-
sion happened there was only a small
amount in the grinder but the re-
mainder in dish alongside also ex-
ploded. Only the fact that most =

the boy from more serious injury or
