Explosion Kills Six at Railroad Camp in Pennsylvania
A dynamite blast at a coal and iron railroad camp near Haherslip in Paakuntas valley killed six men and wounded several others. The blast occurred during dinner, blowing men to pieces and injuring three who later died. Doctors treated the wounded through the night, noting indirect camp connections hindered full details. In Savannah, Missouri, Frank Richardson’s death case saw a coroner’s inquest reveal blackmail by a woman named Gaide Whitehead, with Lud as a witness describing a settlement.
