arrested this afternoon and placed
in jail on a charge of attempting
to dynamite his daughter and hus-
band, Jim Keller. who reside on
South Lindsay street.
It seems that he and the daugh-
ter had had a falling out and early
this morning the old moke took a
stick of stovewGod, which he had
recently loaded with dynamite and
placed in the woodpile in Jin Kel-
ler's yard with a view of blowing
up and demolishing the entire fam
lily. Fortunately the loaded stick
was discovered by the daughter
while carrying in wood to gel
breakfast this morning. and there.
by avoiding a big explosion.
Philips was arrested charged
with the offe use, which he readily
acknowledged when taken il
charge by the officers this after
noon.
He stated that his intention wa
to blow into eternity his daughte
and her husband. and wipe froE
the face of the earth the whole out
