other Badly Hurt.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 26.-One of the
worst crimes in the annals of this citv.
resulting from a long-standing feud be-
tween union and non-union sailors, was
perpetrated Saturday night Shortly
after midnight the southern part of the
city was shaken by terrific explosion.
A dynamite bomb had been fred in
front of waterfront boarding house
filled with non-union sailors.
The front of the building was blown
to atoms. Six of the inmates were hor.
ribly mangled, two of these instantly
killed and three others died from their
wounds. BY whom the bomb was
fired is not definitely known, but the
owners directly charge the deed upon
some members of the Seamen's union.
One of the unien men by the name of
John Terrell has been arrested.
The. boarding house was kept by
John Curtin. 1t was Curtin's custom
to secure berths for his patrons on ships
employing non-union men. In this
way he incurred the enmity of
the sailors union. Less than
week ago his place was entered by
crowd of union men led by John
Terrell Curtin was threatened, and
when the men left his house they told
him the house had only short time to
exist Saturday night all the inmates
had retired as usual and the house was
quiet when the explosion occurred,
shaking the city for blocks. The en-
tire front of the boarding house was
torn away, carrying the front of an
adjacent structure with it.
Men were thrown from their beds
across the street. The room where the
explosion took place was ripped to
atoms. A black hole with smolderinc
beams about it showed where the bomb
had torn its way. Four groaning VIC
Tins lay in the street near by. Beside
them lay two corpses, stripped of nearly
every bit of clothing. An ambulance
was soon on the scene and the victims
were quickly rescued from the debris
and taken to the hospital Three of
the men who were wounded died Sun.
