While La Fnurehe was being blast ed, what was believed was a decy of eight of 10 men were active in Lake Cooper, 20 miles away, drauing the fire of the state guards and bring ing the entire military company from Mer Rouge lo the banks of the. lake. The military captain announced the investigators mere nt responsible for tlie blasting Inst night, and a search is under may to identify those re sponsible.'' With diving operations concentrated chiefly on the ferry landing, where a chart indicated' the bodies of the missing men most likely were hidden, it was declared the guilty men feared the bodies, would be eventually lo cated, and decided to recover them and remove them to another burial place, in the Interior. The dynamiters evidently became frightened or failed to find their quarry and ran away, the story goes. A ferryman who heard the blasts, reported the finding this morning.
