Kalispell Youth Killed; Dynamite Explodes on Road
Kalispell, June 25--Leslie O'Connell, son of Mrs. J. H. O'Connell, of Kalispell, was so badly injured by a dynamite explosion on the Swan Lake road about noon today that he died at Big Fork en route to this city. He was working for the Somers Lumber company and was walking from Camp 4 to Camp 1 at the head of Swan Lake. A road gang had planted a dynamite charge and O'Connell, failing to receive a signal, was almost directly over the charge when it exploded. A man, whose name was not learned, was with him, but was not badly injured.
Young O'Connell was about 16 years of age and a student in the Flathead county high school, who had gone to work for the summer.
