Duke, Feb. 21—Furney McLamb, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. John G. McLamb, and a negro helper by the name of Lee were killed about noon Friday by the premature explosion of dynamite which they had been using in blowing up stumps in a new ground. Mr. McLamb’s father is reported to have said there were at least 25 or 30 sticks of the explosive that killed the two boys. Both bodies were horribly mangled almost beyond description. Pieces of the bodies were scattered over a radius of several hundred yards and the clothing of both was stripped from each.
