ANOTHER TERRIBLE DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Huntington, Ind., Dec. 5. -- A quantity of dynamite for use in the big sewer which is being constructed exploded, resulting in the instant death of two men and serious injury to three others.
HENRY BAIN and FRED STADLER had their faces mangled, skulls crushed and eyes torn out.
JOHN FREEHAFER, THOMAS JONES and JOHN FIRST are the others injured.
