POWDER IN CHIMNEY
Had Newdik Cooked His Own Sup

Blown to Atoms.
Attempt, Followed a Report That a
Mysterious Enemy Was Hard
After Him.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S.. D., Sept. 26.-The ap-
parently trivial act of eating meal down
town instead of preparing it for himself
at his bachelor home, saved the life of
Frank Newdik, an inoffensive German of
this city.
Newdik has been informed that a mys-
ferrous enemy has camped on his trail.
He maintains bachelor quarters in a
dwelling which he erected for himself.
He recently decided to enlarge his house,
and to do this, had to demolish a Chin
ney., He was unexpectedly called away
from home before the chimney had been
completely torn down. !, -.
During his absence some unknown per-
son or persons visited the place. When
Newdik, returned he had partaken Of a
meal down town, and without delay pre-
pared to resume the work Of removing the
chimney.
To his horror he discovered stuffed in
the flue, o1l-soaked rags, inside of which
was sufficient quantity of gunpowder
to wreck a large business block. Had
,Newdik, upon. his arrival at the house,
started fire to cook his frugal meal, as
was his custom, he and the dwelling would
have been blown to atoms and great dam
age done to adjacent property.
Newdik was not aware that he had an
enemy in the world, and the attempt to
destroy his life and property is wrapped
In mystery.
Deputy Sheriff Arrested.
AS result Of his preliminary hearing
beforet Judge Waits, Deputy Sheriff
Voelsch, one Of the most efficient officers
Of this county, has been held for appear
ance at the next term Of state crcuuit
court to answer. to the charge Of drawing
a dangerous weapon. He was arrested
on complaint Of H. w. Rust, a farmer
living near Renner.
The deputy sheriff went to Rusts place
to levy on some grain for firm of Sioux
Falls attorneys. Rust refused to permit
him to take the grain. Instead, he or
dered the officer off the place. and is al
legged to have threatened him with vio-
lence. Rust is said to have rushed al
Voelsch, who stopped him with a revolver
There apparently was some defect in the
papers or the deputy sheriff would not
have been held for appearance at the next
term OF court. He has been released on

cussion the grand lodge, Ancient Order
Of United Workmen, by a vote of 255 to
