KILLED BY DYNAMITE
Mrs. Richard Lauterbach of Mitchell, Slain, and Husband Badly Injured
At about 10 Tuesday night at the house of Richard Lauterbach at Mitchell caught fire and the conflagration caused by explosion of a large quantity of dynamite which was stored in the rear room of the house. Mrs. Lauterbach was on the outside of the house near the room containing the powder trying to extinguish the flames, when the explosion occurred. The force of the explosion threw the whole side of the house on Mrs. Lauterbach, killing her instantly. Mr. Lauterbach was badly burned on the arm while Miss Shuster, a niece of the unfortunate woman, was so badly dazed that she wandered about in the snow in her bare feet until her feet were frozen. Mr. Lauterbach is well-known in Eagle county and has the sympathy of many friends in his misfortune.
