wrecked by being blown up by powder
early today. Men, women ana children
occupying the Buildings wrecked We're
hurled out of their beds by the shock
and serious injuries inflicted. In every
instance the object sought by the wreck
ers was accomplished by the destruction
of the offices with their fire equipment
and delicate balances. The authorities
are doing everything possible to discover
the perpetrators of the crime.

ore purchasing institutions. Blood
hounds from Canon City have been call
ed for.
For years there has been systematic
stealing of rich ore from the mines,
amounting TO thousands Of dollars
