pressed an opinion that Professor Smith

LEADvILLE, Col, Oct 17.-About $50
last night the people living in the vicinity
of Capitol Hill were startled by a terrific
explosion which shook the houses for
several blocks.
On investigation it was found to have
occurred at the residence of Herman
Truemnn. Mr.. Trueman's little son and
boy named Sam Davis had dug a hole
about thirteen feet deep and had run
two small drifts, which they called their
mine. They then got quantity of giant
powder which caused the town to tremble
and shake last evening.
Adam S. Trueman, father of the boy
above mentioned, is wagon maker and
had between 5000 and $S0Oin gold locked
up in the house This was known to
the young miner who secured the same
in the early part Of the evening by break
ing open the drawer in which it was con
cealed.
His next move was to blow up the
house which at the time contained his
father and other persons, In this he
was successful Mr. and Mrs. Trueman
were seriously injured. The little
daughter of Mrs. Thomas Reed was
badly cut in the arm by glass. Mrs.
James Z. Butler residing on West Ninth
street, was struck by a window sash
which was blown into her dining room.
Many minor accidents occurred within
a radius of 600 feet of the house. 1t is
thought the boys were the victims Of
their own folly and that instead of max
ing away with the money they were
blown to atoms by the explosion intended
for their parents.
