C.-r-Chris Dunn, foreman in a logging camp on Nelson Island, a short distance up the coast, blew himself to pieces with four sticks of dynamite. Dunn had been suffering a great deal from a leg which was broken a year ago. He also brooded over the loss of a friend, killed in a dynamite accident two weeks ago. At daylight he arose and went out to the top of a cliff. There he lay down on four sticks of dynamite and set them off. His body was hurled sixty feet down the bank. Dunn was 35 years old. He lived In Seattle until three years ago.
