it exploded from the concussion. He gen
erally carried his dynamite in his oat
pocket. This probably exploded .and
caused Instant death.

form entirely to the decisions of the
four protecting Powers.

thing about the deal, which was made
direct between James Walsh for the Mil

Northern would surrender this valuable

for that reason the agreement is believed
to be in the nature of a trade.
