November q about eight o'clock in
the morning in the act of placing
dynamite in the ground on the
wooded side of Gore Lake dam,
few hundred feet from the erstwhile
site of the new destroyed dam, &C
cording to L. L. Gore, owner Of the
lake.
Mr.. Gore said that on November
81, he and Carl saw a small child
come out of the woods opposite the
broken dam several times and look
around as if she were watching for
someone. They walked over to where
the child was seen and saw four
men busy punching deep holes In
the ground and placing a stick of
dynamite in each hole.
According to Mr.. Gore, about 26
holes had been punched at the time
they came upon the workmen. It
is said that so percent ditching
dynamite was being placed in the
holes and that case was on hand
at the time.
The men doing the work said, &C
cording to Mr.. Gore, that they were
only draining their farms, however,
dynamiting at that location would
have further damaged Gore Lake and
would have caused its rebuilding
doubly the job that 1t is at the
present time.
