Show THE "FOOL KILLER" should turn his attention to California. Two miners of Tunka[?], in that State, who had been discussing the comparative force of gunpowder and dynamite, agreed as a test to explode certain quantities of the substances under two planks, the friend of gunpowder to stand on the dynamite plank and the friend of dynamite on the other. The trial was made in the presence of an interested crowd of spectators. It resulted in a broken leg for the man who was lifted ten feet into the air by the dynamite and uncounted bruises for the one whom the gunpowder threw against the trunk of the tree. They probably feel satisfied now. |
