Considerable excitement was occas-
toned Tuesday by the report that
some one had broken into the old
powder-house and taken the dynamite
stored therein and scattered it about
the neighborhood. On Investigation
it was found to be the work of some
youngsters who had been prying about
and found the door open. Not knowing
the properties of the article they were
monkeying with they proceeded, with
the assistance of an old bottle and a
block of wood, to break it up in pieces
convenient for carrying in the pocket
and had it not been for the fact that
it was frozen, it might have been our
painful duty to have announced that
the stuff exploded.
