it purported to be, with Rev. Mr.. Gibson's
life hanging in the balance.
There was not one word of truth in the
entire tale, not single detail of fact upon
which to base the story. The dynamite
cartridge consisted of a piece of scent
frecracker about an inch long and half an
inch thick, and fragment of carbon from
an electric arc lamp about half an inch
long. The firecrackeN had been exploded,
and the piece was only the butt which had
not been burst. The remnant of some
boys Fourth of July fun and of burned
out illumination of the bituminous obscurity
OF night, were among the playthlngs with
which some children had been amusing
themselves on the walk IN front of the
house.
AS children will, one of them conceived
the idea of ringing the doorbell and disap-
pearing when the door was opened. This
was the ring Mr.. Armbruster answered,
and as the door swung back another of the
youngsters threw the bits inside and all
seampered, highly delighted with their
mischievous prank and little dreaming of
the terror they had wrought in the minds
OF the inmates.
This is the sole foundation for the alarm
ing story that DR.. Gibson's life was in
danger from crank.
At the Seventeenth-street police station
yesterday the terrible bomb was on exhi-
bition, together with The written report of
Prison Keeper Lotus, who received the
innocent bits from Mr.. Armbruster. The
report stated that the occupants of the
house thought they were dynamite. The
two exhibits were the source of no end of
amusement to the officers and the other
persons who called at the station during
the day.
Captain Lees said yesterday that he did
not take any stock in the report when it
was first made him, but thought at the
time that it was a practical joke and did
not even detail detective to investigate it.
The prosecution in the Durrant trial is
prepared to meet the defense on its own
grounds when experts are called to show
the similarity of the handwriting of
DIR. Gibson to that found on the
newspaper wrapper which inclosed
Blanche Lamont's rings when they were
returned to Mrs. Noble. District Attorney
Barnes has a corps of experts subpenaed
who he says will make short work of
demonstrating that DR.. Gibson did not
write either the address or the names that
appeared on the wrapper.

he USED A HAMMER.
Kracker's Attempts at Disciplining His
Wife Get Him Into Jail.

Wife Get Him Into Jail.
Minna street was the scene of a lively
fight about 2 o'clock yesterday morning.
The participants were Mrs. E. Kracker of
523 Minna street and her husband, Charles
Kracker, from whom she has lived apart
for the past year.
Kracker called on his wife at 80 o'clock.
He was drunk, and she received him in a
manner that he deemed incompatible with
his marital rights. He resolved to teach
Mrs. Kracker better manners. The only
disciplinary instrument in sight was the
head of hardwood mallet. Wrapping
this in newspaper he proceeded to pum-
mel her over the head with it.
Mrs. Kracker's Uranium suffered many
severe cuts and conclusions. She resented
her husbands harsh treatment and caused
SO much trouble with her fists and her
lungs that Kracker ran away.
The case was reported to the police, and
Kracker was arrested yesterday afternoon
on the Barbary Coast by Officers Norman
and Wren. He was charged with assault
to murder.

verses were composed and read OH the
occasion.
Before us lies precious darling
Silent in deaths last long sleep.
| AS we view his form so lovely
| Our hearts with sorrow sore doth weep
Only just little blossom
Blooming just few short days,
Which the Lord in love hath taken
To dwell midst scenes of brighter rays.
Weep not Father that your darling
Is taxed from this world OF sin,
For he's wandered to the portals
And the Angels let him in.
Yes the Angels kissed your darling,
Bid him welcome to the sky,
And he dwells in realms of splendor
Where he'll never never die.
AS the gates were thrown wide open
And the Angels swept him in
AHcIo Was JOY anu great rejoicing.
And midst the glad and joyous din
There appears sweet faced Mother.
Stand back Angels let her pass.
With Her face aglow with rapture
She, her darling baby clasps.
Now the Angels all are weeping
There is stiffness soft and sweet,
Tears of joy. Oh rapturous weeping,
AS the babe and mother meet.
Heartsore Father now your weeping
Tears of bitterest grief and pain.
But your wife and child are waiting
And you'll meet them both again.
Brothers, Sisters Of this sleeper
When you reach those Hevenly grounds
Little darling angel brother
Will be waiting with your crowns.
Live to love and serve each other,
Give the Savior all your heart
And he will bring you to yon Heaven
From your loved ones never to part.
