SHELL THOUGHT DEAD BURSTS, BLOWING 8 CHILDREN TO BITS

WATERTOWN, N. Y., July 13 Police are searching this city for artillery shells retained as souvenirs of the World war, after the explosion of a three-inch shell, resulting In the death of eight children. The big shell, believed to be a "dud" picked up during the war-time target practice of the 104th field artillery, on the Pine plains range near here, was used as a screen door check on the rear porch of the Edward G. Workman house. In the intense heat, the "TXT" expanded, according to Madison barracks military officials, making the shell liable to explosion at reduced concussion. It is believed that one of the children playing croquet struck the shell with a mallet or ball. The dead are: Morris Salisbury, 16; Frances Wiley, 13; Vivian Jones. 12; Olin Brown 11; Anson Workman, 13; Edna Workman, 14; Sarah Barden, 13, and Donald Horton, 12. of Pulaski, N. Y., guest of young Brown. Carpenters working nearby said they heard the children laughing at their game and then a terrific explosion. Rushing to the Workman yard they found tho bodies badly mangled, croquet balls and mallets blown to bits, the concrete wall of the Workman home crumbled to powder and a gray dust

pall of concrete settling over all. Fragments of clothing and flesh were suspended from trees and housetops for yards around, and two automobile tires placed near the shell on the rear porch, were found on a roof 200 feet away.
