A NARROW ESCAPE.
Newspaper Man Came Near Going to

Newspaper Man Came Near Going to
Heaven by the Dynamite Route.
Talking about narrow escapes, " said
Campbell Hardy, who has experienced the
ups and downs of 10 years of newspaper
life, to Galveston News man, reminds
me of an experience l underwent while
running a little country newspaper up in
Illinois, chasing the festive advertisements
and the elusive news item. My Office and
plant, where l nodded public opinion and
told limited number of subscribers what
to do in order TO be saved was located in
a harness shop. One bright spring morn
ing, while engaged in writing an editorial
! was interrupted in my intellectual reverie
by the sound of scurrying feet below, and
the next instant by terrific explosion,
which shook the building.
All was blank for the next minute,
when l found myself lying up against a
broken sash. Gathering myself together,
after wondering whether it was the falling
of brick wall or the kick of an energetic
mule that had struck me, l surveyed the
ruins. There was hole in the floor beside
me and one in the roof above, through
which you could have driven a govern
ment OK team, and a pied and wrecked
newspaper officn. 1t appears that the oc-
cupant below had sprung the combina-
ton of his safe, and, being desirous of re
covering the princely sum of $1.70, along
with some valuable papers, had in a mo-
ment of temporary insanity engaged q
party to blow open the safe door with
dynamite. The safe was placed on its back,
charged with the explosive, and the fuse
touched off
1.-The bright, intellectual engineer Of
the job neglected to notify me when the
services began, and the results were as
above stated. 1t was a miracle that / was
not blown to pieces but, as luck would
have it, was just outside of the dead line,
for had l met the safe in its upward flight
the chances are my friends would be still
looking for my remains with rake
Though l was somewhat bruised and dis
figured, l am pleased to note that l re-
manned in the ring Gentlemen, l have
been jUmbled up in q railroad accident,
mingled with the tail of a Dakota blizzard,
been wrecked at sea and storm tossed, but
this was my narrowes escape from sudden
death that / have to chronicle. 1t was de-
cidedly case of being blown up, but not
