COLORADO ROAD WORK
Lake City, Colo., Oct. 4-Three men were killed in a
dynamite explosion near here today while at work on a highway
project.
The dead: Lee Williams, Al Rodey and Joe Halpin, all of
whom were married and had families. They lived in Lake City.
The explosion of the dynamite, which was being used in
repair work on the Hinsdale county road, has not been explained.
Seven other workers on their way to the spot where the accident
occurred were around a corner and did not see the explosion but
heard the report.

reached them.
