people, no one but CoTbin was injured,
and he not fatally. 1t is not known who
| placed the powder in the bui ding, but
COrbin asserts that 1t was done by some
of the villagers and is the outcome of
his refusal to cease selling liquor in the
village. -Four years ago building

molished by gunpowder, and Cor
bin left the town, only returning
short time ago. All attempts to ar
rest the guilty parties proved failure.

measures to prevent liquor selling in
their town, they never favored such meas
