AN ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP
CAPT. e. D. PARMELEE.

Away back in 1893, when the Me.
saba range was young, the I. w. w.
and sabotage were unknown in North
ern Minnesota. Despite all that, there
were iron miners who knew how and
had the will to blow up an enemy.
Capt. E. D. Parmelee was boss in
the days Of long ago of the Biwabik
mine. When he started to leave his
house for the mine on the morning of
Tuesday, June 6, 1898, he found three
sticks of dynamite lying on his door
step. Fhe sticks Of explosive were
tied together In one Of them there
was a dynamite cap and fuse insert
ed in it had burned almost down to the
high explosive. Had that cap done it's
duty, the dynamite would have gone
off and obliterated the front of the
Parmelee residence, even if it did not
blow the interior all to pieces and kill
or badly injure those within.
Some looked upon the incident as a
joke, but others believed that it was
done in deadly earnest. Some time be-
fore, wages had been lowered at the
mine, and Capt. Parmelee enormously
was considered responsible for it.
