FORT WAYNE, Ind, July A panic
was caused last night by the action of an
unknown man who threw gas-pipe
bomb into crowd OF people rushing to a
fire. The internal machine was sent soar

body sought place of safety, but Miss
Minnie Hazemeyer, a girl os IT, was un-
aable to get out OF range OF the missile,
as she had been thrown down by the ex-
cited and affrighted crowd. She had just
risen to her knees when the bomb ex.
ploded, hurling the ragged pieces OF iron
in all directions. One Of the fragme ments
struck the girl in the throat, cutting a
terrible cash, and another fragment tore
off one Of her thum BIS, ana she was dashed
violently back upon the groaund by the
force Of the explosion. The affair created
the ost in tense indignation and had the
man been captured lynching would
have followed in short order.
