A SENSATIONAL RUMOR
REGARDING THE BLOWING UP OF
HALEY a H0EYS SALOON
CAUSED BY DYNAMITE


Hennepin County Bank.-Tha at
Is the Story Which Floated
Around the City Yesterday
Neither Sewer Nor IlIu minating
Gas Could Have Caused 1t.
There were some ugly rumors atioat
yesterday concerning the explosion of
Haley Il Hoey's saloon at midnight Sat
urday. 1t was said that the explosion
was due to neither sewer nor illumi-
mating gas. The fire department Off
Gals are positive that it was not illumi-
mating gaa, and the sewer department
OF the city maintain stoutly that it
could not have been sewer gas. 1t was
stated yesterday that the explosion was
due to dynamite, and that the explosive
was to be used for some purpose that
would not be sanctioned by the police
authorities even during the celebration
of the glorious Fourth.
1t was said that it was the intention
of some persons, of course unknown TO
the men connected with the saloon, to
tunnel through and blow up the Henne-
pin bank, which is next door. Dynamite
was to be used, and 1t exploded prema-
turely. The saloon men, knowing moth
ing of the explosives concealed in the
cellar, were Of course not prepared to
avoid 1t. When Shannon went down
into the cellar to draw the whisky. it is
further said, he stumbled against the
dynamite. and the result was the ter
rible explosion. 1t may be that this
story, as it was given to a reporter for
the GLOBE, is but the idle vaporlngs of
an imaginative person, aud yet the
rnyterious circumstances; that surround
the whole affair give credence to the
theory of dynamite.
Al Childs and Jimmy Shannon were
reported yesterday as being worse, and
fears are entertained of their recovery.
In the event that Shannon RECEIVERS it
is said that he will lose his eyesight.
He is terribly burned about the chest
and suffers great pain. Hoey and Salt
erS are by no means recovered, and in
the formers case some complications
may arise that will endanger his lite.

A Cyclone in Kansas.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, October g.
Specials to the Times from Empo-
ria, Kansas, Strong City, Kansas,
and other Western Kansas towns,
tell a tale of storm of cyclonic pro-
portions that drove over that terri
tory last evening. AS far as known
no fatalities are found. Telegraphic
communication has been shut off,
however, and it is feared when the
wires finally come up reports of
much damage, perhaps loss OF life
will be received from the small
outlying towns. The storm struck
Emporia about 7 o'clock and soon
took on the proportions of cy-
clone and in half an hours time
had done thousands Of dollars
damage. In all parts of the city
buildings were toppled over, trees
and shrubbery uproOted, signs and
fences demolished and much minor
damage done. Strong City suf-
fered like fate. The storm came
from the west, creating damage
throughout and shutting that por-
tion of the state off by wire COM
munication.

NO BALL THIS YEAR
Between Harvard and Princeton, for
Want of Time.

CAV Va @'A@AS'
Boston, Oct. 2.-There will be
no Harvard Princeton football
game this v ear. This decision has
finally been reached by the GRIM
son captain and on Saturday EN-
mons wrote to. Captain Trenchard
of Princeton, telling how the Har-
ward men felt on the matter. The
decision is irrecOvocabIe and it is
felt here that the Princeton man
agement will send a formal chal-
lenge, hoping that Harvard may
be forced into the game. Such a
result is considered out of the
question. Captain Emmons him.
self is chiefly responsible for the
position which Harvard takes, al
though he is supported by the
coaches and the Athletic commit
tee. He considered the whole mat
ter carefully for a long time. 1t
was some weeks ago when he re-
ceived from Trenchard letter say
ing that Princeton was anxious to
play Harvard and Emmons has
had all that time to think about
the game. His reason is that Har-
ward cannot afford to play more
than two hard games in one season.
Harvard already has an agreement
with Yale, made for term of years,
and one with Pennsylvania. The
latter expires this season, but this
year at any rate Harvard is bound
to meet both Yale and Pennsylva-
mia. A third game would, it is
thought, injure the chances Of
winning from Yale. That is, Har-
ward cannot train her eleven for a
game with Princeton and then for
another with Pennsylvania for the
final games in order to win from
Princeton, or to make good show
ing, the team would have to be
hurried along to 20 much. 1t is not
a question of dates.

TOO MUCH DRINK.
RUINS COL. MCCLURE, THE DEMO
Graf.
Spends a Fortune and Dies in q
Cheap Howell.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-"Col." David
Mcclure, once a wealthy and re-
fined southerner and a politician
Of the south was found dead last
night on dirty cot in the base
ment of a five cent lodging house,
in the Custom House place. Col.
Mcclure, as he was known, was
born at Madison so years ago. His
father, DR.. Mcclure, was one of the
most respected citizens of the
place and gave to his son an excel.
lent education. When he arrived
at manhood he went to Louisville,
KY, where he married, his wife's
family being Of the blue blood Of
Kentucky. On the breaking out Of
the war he returned to Madison
and enlisted for the union regiment
from that place as a private. He
served all through the war and re-
turned home with the rank of cap
tain. He again went to Louisville
anu SuOTGly dlUeTWdTuS lHueTlUeu
an estate, worth 100000. His
friends were legion, his enemies
none. He soon began to go down
hill and by the time his fortune
was gone he was confirmed
drunkard. His wife stood by him
through all and when his fortune
had been squandered she persuad-
ed him to start life anew and to
give up....h his old habits. When
Grover Cleveland was inaugurated
President the first time, Col. Nc
Clure was given a position under
the internal revenue collector at
Louisville; this position he lost
with the change of administration
in 1888 and he then came to Chi
cago and for time prospered. But
discouragementlattending loss of
income and employment led him
to resort to his former habits and
step by step he went downward UNI
til the end finally came in miser-
able howell.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. q
"Bloody Monday" night, the occa-
sion of the time honored rush be-
tween the Harvard freshmen and
sophomores, babe fair early last
night to be exciting. The two
classes formed and marched into
the yard cheering and preparing to
rush at each other, when Prof.
Summicrast appeared on the scene.
He appealed to both classes as
Harvard men to disperse and do
away with the last vestige of haz-
ing. He explained that the cOrpor-
alton had purposely removed
every policeman from the yard in
order to rely upon the students
sense of honor. Then H. c. Quigly,
'94, led the freshmen about the
yard cheering the college building
and finally with some reluctance 1913
cheered, '97 and '9S responded. The
students dispersed without any
organized rush. There were some
minor disturbances for an hour or
two, but there was no organization
on either side. The nonsensical
"Bloody Monday" fights will prob
ably never occur again within the
old building.
