CONVIS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Authorities have destroyed
more than 250 old sticks of dynamite that were found in a southern
Michigan barn.
The Battle Creek Enquirer reports (http://bcene.ws/1efdj4r ) bomb squads from the
Michigan State Police and the City of Battle
Creek on Thursday disposed of the explosives, which turned up in Calhoun
County’s Convis Township.
Sheriff’s deputies responded Wednesday
after a resident said a family member who had stored dynamite in the
barn had died. Authorities say they initially were told there might be
15 to 20 sticks of dynamite, but they report they found 256 in all.
The dynamite was moved to a field and destroyed.
