DYNAMITE KILLS TWO MEN
Badly Timed Fuse Caused a Terrible Explosion
BATESVILLE, Ark., Sept 11 - Two men were killed and several injured, none seriously, as the result of an explosion of dynamite in a manganese mine, two and a half miles north of Batesville, this afternoon. Charles McEllis, a miner was so badly injured that he died a short time later, while Seymour Linley, his helper, was instantly killed.
It is believed that McEllis, who was engaged in blasting, incorrectly timed the fuse on a charge of dynamite. The explosion set off twelve sticks of dynamite that Linley had with him. His body was terribly mangled.
