    • "«b»Ishpeming, Michigan, March 6«/b» - a frightful disaster, the exact cause of which will probably never be learned, took place in the Cleveland iron mine at 9 o'clock last night, resulting in the instant death of five men. They were at work in shaft number three, blasting rock, having inserted a piece of gas pipe charged dynamite. The pipe had just come from a blacksmith shop, and, it is supposed, still retained a sufficient amount of heat to cause an explosion of the deadly agent of destruction. The report drew other workmen to the spot, only to find five terribly disfigured bodies lying at the bottom of the shaft. The names of the victims were for Alfred Eric Matteson, William Gendle, John Williams, and Charles Rusk."
