BOMB IN THE STOCK YARDS.
Chicago Packing District Startled
by an Explosion.
Wagon and Boxes Destroyed and No
Clue Found by Police.
ny Associated Press y

CHICAGO. Aug. l0.-What Is supposed
TO lie an attempt to blow up part OF
Packingtown occurred last night. A
bomb was exploded near ASnours
packing house, at Forty-second street
and Packers avenue. right In the heart
of the stock-yards. The explosion &C.
CURED In one of Goodwillie e. Co. &
wagons, which was filled with empty
boxes. which are left every evening for
the benefit of the packers.
The report was like that OF a cannon,
but the only damage to property was
the destruction of the wagon and the
load Of boxes, which were reduced to
kindling wood. A search was made for
some portion of the supposed bomb or
anything else that might throw some
light upon the mystery. but without
avail, and the police were compelled to
postpone a fuller Investigation until
morning
II is thought by the officers that one
of the men who have been hanging
about the yards for several months. In
hope OF getting work, became desperate
and tried to destroy a portion of the
yards. but that when near the packing
houses his courage deserted him and the
bomt or whatever 1t was was placed in
the load OF boxes.
