Title
Fourth's Victims: Dynamite Takes Five, p. 8
Description
"At Wanamie, a mining town five miles from Wilkesbarre, Pa., five boys were killed and nine others injured by celebrating the 4th of July.
They had placed powder in a pipe, and it failed to go off. They then forced a stick of dynamite into the pipe, and began pounding it. A terrific explosion followed. Four of the boys were badly mangled, and the fifth died on the way to the hospital. Some of the injured are so badly hurt that they may die."
