   Beattyville, Ky., April 5 ---Two former employees were injured, one
probably fatally, when the tipple house of the Harlan plant of the
Pittsburgh Coal Co., was destroyed at midnight by dynamite.
   The property loss is estimated at $5,000.  A long distance telephone
report says the injured men are Earl Brock and a man named Tanner, both of
whom quit the mine in February following a cut in wages.
   There is no explanation as to how the men came to be in the tipple house.
Tanner is believed to be dying.
