BOMBS AND DYNAMITE.
some Of tho Relies OF Riot Scattered
About Chicago

Chicago dispatch. Ever since the night of
the riots and the day following when search
Of houses Yves commenced by the police Of the
West North Avenue station, the residents OF
the district have been finding bits ofdynamlte
gas pipe cartridges and rifle cartridges Ia the
houses on the prairIes and under the sidewalks
In their immediate vicinity. Little over n
week ago n number Of dynamite cartridges,
wrapped up In pieces Of red oil cloth, were
found under the sidewalk. Next a boy on
Quad avenue found some rifle cartridges, and
two days after this another boy took 10 his
mother for her inspection, some fifty rounds
which he had picked up on the prairie. Again
some boys were playing ball on Roby street
near the old Chicago and Pacific aud Bloom
lngdale track, when the ball went into gutter
and under a sidewalk A boy had TO crawl
under and while looking for the ball, found
piece Of gas pipe, and reported more where
that came from. He told his father and the
police were notified They searched and found
under the sidewalk on the east side Of Robey
street and less than two feet south OF
the railroad track small hole had been
scrapcd out In the hole thlrty-one pieces OF
gas pipe one and one-quarter inches In diane
ter and from one 10 ten Inches long wrapped
up In pieces of red oil cloth. OF these thirty
were loaded with dynamite, being stopped at
the end with round blocks OF wood. Fuses
about eight inches In length were attached TO
each other and all ready for immediate use.
The last piece of pipe was not loaded, but
seemed TO have been very recently cut, as the
oil was stil upon It's end. In the hole was al
so found two boxes Of dynamite caps and
four quart tin pail containing a larae quantity
Of fuse, some waterproof and some common.
The explosive outfit was taken to the Chicago
avenue station. The gas pipe cartridges are
exactly similar to those captured by Capt.
Setback In Louis Llng's house. It's believed
that the stuff was placed under the sidewalk
by some anarchists who live in the neighbor-
hood and who feared their house might be
searched. 1t is evident that the one placing
It there desired to use it again from the care
with which II was wrapped up.
