ARE USING DYNAMITE NOV.
Reckless Anarchy Now Exists in
ST. Louis.
TRY TO KILL SLEEPING MEN.

ST. Louis, June 5--An attempt has
been made in the night to blow up
with dynamite the ST. Louis Transit
company's barns at Easton and Prairie
avenues, in which $50 employees of the
company and a number of policemen
were asleep, and in which were many
cars and much valuable property
This the second attempt to
wreck the buildings with dynamite
made in three days The sheds are
three in number, all of brick and with
high arched slate roofs. They extend
from the southwest corner of Easton
and Prairie avenues, west on Easton
avenue to the middle of the block,
where the Office is located. None of
the policemen on the Prairie avenue
side of the building saw anything al
though the explosive was thrown to
the roof of the shed from that side
The policemen asleep in the east shed
were thrown violently from their cots
by the force of the conclusion. Very
little damage was done by the explo-
sion, which shook the surrounding
houses and caused great excitement
among the residents 1t could not be
learned who threw the explosive.
A few days before terrific explosion
supposed to have been caused by dyna-
mite plac ed on the tracks of the Union
line at Fifteenth and Chambers streets
shook the buildings and broke the
glass in all the windows in the neigh
bOrhoOd.
Many persons We're thrown from
their beds by the violent conclusion
and all We're awakened and more or
less terrified. AS near they could
determine it had resulted from dyna-
mite which was exploded on the street
car tracks The damage to trains was
not serious, the explosion having spent
its force in the air. The shock was
felt within a radius of a mile of Fiji
teenth and Chambers streets
The explosion created a panic in the
neighborhood and many people slept
no more the rest of the night through
nervousness or the fear of another ex-
