by boys playing in an outlaying and
sparsely settled district of Superior,
resulted in the uncovering by the
police of plant which had been the

Whether for the liquid used by yegg-
men or for bombs has not as yet been
determined, but an effort is being
made to connect the discovery with
the killing of several persons at Vir-
ginia, Mimi, last week. More than
a dozen sticks Of dynamite and
the refuse of many dozen more used
in making the so-called soup" we're
found. The spot, screened from the
nearest road by heavy bushes, was
thickly strewn with the wrappings
and packings of the explosive.

OBITUARY-HARLEY E..
MO KINNEY

On Saturday, Nov. 10, 1917, tele-
grams were received in Potosi and
Dodgeville telling Of the death Of Har
ley Esten Mckinney in Prosperity,
Mo-, as a result of an accident in
mine in that vicinity.
The news came as a thunder bolt
out of a clear sky for death seemed
so far away from one like him in the
full strength and health of early man
hood.
We think of death in connection
with the old and decrepit, the weak
and i'll, but one in the first flush Of
his bright beautiful youth it seems
as though the Grim Reaper must GER
tainly pass that one by.
Harley E. Mckinney was born, Nov
IL, 1896, on a farm near Patch Grove,
Wis, where he lived until when he
was ten years old the family moved
to Dodgeville, Wis, where they have
since lived and where he made his
home until about two and one-half
years ago, he received employment in
mine in Platteville where he made
his home for several months with rel
atives.
From there he went to Potosi re-
ceiving employment in mines located
near there and where he lived until
about a month ago.
On Oct. 8, the mine in which he
worked having shut down for the win
ter he departed for Pitcher, Oklahoma,
where he got work running a drill
ing machine for a large mining COM
pany there.
A few days before his death, he
went over into Missouri and began
work in one 0 the largest black jack
mines in the world which is located
in Prosperity, Mo. There on Nov. g.,
one month from the day he left home
and just two days before he reached
his 21st birthday he met his death.
A huge boulder, loosening rom the
ceiling of the mine, came down crush
ing three of the shovellers to death
and without an instant's warning
three souls were sent out into etern-
ity. Harley's position, being the most
central, he received the greatest
weight of ALL
He often spoke of the dangers Of a
miners life and mentioned the fact
several times that he supposed some
day he would meet his death in that
way. But that kind of employment
oCCu1Cu especially ldSClLdCllS W Hill
and he could not be persuaded to give
it up.
He leaves to survive him. his grand
mother, Mrs. Abe Key of Patch Grove,
his parents, two sisters and numer-
GUS other relatives, these with a host
of friends mourn his early death.
Nothing is so certain as death nor
so uncertain as when the summons
will come. The infant, the child just
learning to take it's first steps, the
youth, the middle aged and those
whose feet are already turned towards
life's sunset; all are liable. Not one
of all this earth who lies down at
night knows what another day will
bring forth.
This is one of the great and newt
able laws by which God governs his
universe as inscrutable and as unex-
plainable as the law which moves the
