when suddenly there wasa tremendous
explosion, the walls were split open at
the corner, plastering, flooring and
furniture were hurled with terrible
force through the rooms on that side
of the house, windows were blown out
and every piece of furniture, and crock
cry in the house was broken. When
the neighbors who heard the explosion
had arrived and a hospital ambulance
was called il was found that KoncZal

that Josie had a serious cut in the right
uniniured, their rooms being on the
side of the house opposite the explosion.
At the hospital it was found that Konc-
zal had ut least % wounds, covering

The only stable theory as to the

killing them. He is known as an ugly
fellow and is feared by his neighbors

The New York Sun, a sheet
which has always been all

strong in it's denunciation of
the late republican convention
because it did not make
straddle on the money ques-
ton. The fact was the repub-
lican party had nothing to say
about the matter. A handful
of n1illionaires and political
tricksters manipulated that
convention and now the rank

posed to fall in line and sup

there is not a vestige of the
