SAT ON BOX OF DYNAMITE
    Bluefield, W. Va., March 20 - Three men were killed and several seriously injured by an explosion of dynamite here yesterday. A large force of men was employed laying pipe on Main street. The men were at dinner and some were sitting on a box containing dynamite when it exploded. One man, before expiring, walked to a hospital aided by two men, although both eyes were blown out and his nose and ears were torn away.
