(Yorkville, IL) — A walk in the woods is now a stroll through history for a man in Yorkville when he accidentally kicked a World War I-era grenade. The “Beacon-News” reports the man called police after his Sunday discovery and they brought in the Kane County bomb squad. An x-ray determined that the device, known as a Mills Bomb, did not have any active explosives inside. How the grenade ended up in Yorkville is a mystery.
