ATTEMPT TO BLOW
Up A RESERVOIR
GATES OF A BIG OHIO WATER
BASIN ARE ATTACKED WITH
DYNAMITE.
Had Attempt Been Successful Hun
dreds Of Lives Would Have Been
Lost-Bloodhou Placed in Search
Of Perpetrators.

st. Mary's, O., Aug. 24.-Before day
break Tuesday the gates at the head OF
st. Mary's reservoir were blown up by
dynamite. The report Of the explosion
was heard for miles. The buildings
here were shaken and some windows
were broken. Intense excitement pre-
vailed, but every precaution was taken
to prevent q food. There are many who
consider the reservoir q menace to sur
rounding farms.
The attempt was made at one'clock
and If it had blown out the entire
bulkhead and opened the flood gates
hundreds of lives would have been lost
as the waters Of Lake Mercer would
have run out. This bulkhead is the
one through which the Miami and Erie
canal is fed. Although large amount
of dynamite was used the bank was
not broken so as to give away and when
the citizens were aroused the place
was watched. Bloodhounds are with
those in search of the dynamiters, but
they have no clew on which to go.
This reservoir is the largest artificial
body Of water in the world and this
city is lower than the water, so that
intense excitement prevailed here.
Shock Felt for Miles.
Although th damages are limited
mostly to broken windows in this city;
to the wrecking of one house near the
bulkhead and one State boat and the

great excitement here because it is
feared that the attempt may be re-
peated. The shock was plainly felt at
Celina at the western end of the reser-
voir, a distance of ten miles. The
work of dynamiters is most feared at
the eastern end, where the surrounding
country is much lower than the en-
banked water. The charge of dyna-
mite and nitro-glycerine was placed on
the wicket gates. and slow fuse at
tached from which there were three
separate shocks. The explosion
wrecked the upper part of the wicket
and damaged the stone abutments, but
not to such an extent as to liberate the
waters. Houses in the immediate vi
cinity were greatly damaged and the
occupants were stunned. The occu-
pants Of Alexander Swegart's house
were buried under the debris for three
hours. The captain of the State boat
and his wife and helpers were rescued
by other craft.
The bulkhead is the outlet of Lake
Mercer into the Miami and Erie canal
and holds back nine feet of water COW

is IL feet lower than the lock and the
loss that would have accompanied sue

The explosion was plainly heard for
20 miles. The only reason st. Mary's
was not washed away that the
charge of dynamite was exploded in the
abutment Of stone, which reflected It
upward. thus saving the lower portion

degree
You and your brother should come
before the court as soon as possible and
have a final settlement of your business

tlnual trouble for all time said Judge
Kelly yesterday to Terence Kenny.
This admonition came from the court
In the form of advice, and was delivered
In an informal manner, although from the
bench In the criminal branch of the
district court.
The jury before whom Terence Kenny
had been tried on the charge Of assault
ing his nephew, Charles Kenny, had lust
returned it's verdict of not guilty when
the court called Mr.. Kenny and his at
torney, Stan ]. Donnelly, forward as they
were about to leave.
The court referred to the past disturb
ances between Terence and his brother,
John Kenny, and said that as long as
they continued to remain in business to-
gether these disagreements would occur
and perhaps might lead to something
more serious. The court advised Terence
Kenny to take measures as soon as pos
sible to come before the court with his
OIOlHSI 1OT d uIldI dissolution and settle
ment of their business affairs. and said
he believed he could settle the whole
matter in thirty minutes.

taken Thursday afternoon showed that
Terence Kenny ordered his nephew out
OF the office on the day mentioned and
followed him with loaded revolver which
he finally discharged at Charles as he was
going out of the door,
In the evidence it was shown that John
Kenny had tried to put his own son
Charles to work in the office of Kenny

Terence, and that the trouble grew out
of that.
In the course of the trial Terence Kenny
showed the jury an open wound on his

encounter with his brother John two years
ago and which is not yet healed

pigs at Midway. He and number OF
deputy sheriffs last night accomplished

the places in the prohibited district of
Merriam Park where liquor is said to

Rev. Morgan Swears Out Warrants.
Warrants were sworn out Yesterday
by Mr.. Morgan for nearly dozen per
sons and put in the hands Of the sher-

cooperation of some of the ministers of
Merriam and st. Anthony Parks who
nave for some time sought to put a

/ The warrants under which the ar

and are drawn under the Special Laws
OF 1885 and 1889, which make it I'M
lawful to sell liquor in the Merriam
Park district and section 10 Of the civ
charter which is to the same effect.
That their work might be the more
effective the deputy sheriffs conducted
their visit to the Midway district as a
raid, and as far as possible descended
upon all of the places at the same time.
The result Wa~ an exciting scene, and
for time University avenue. in the

Driven distracted by smoke, which
filed her apartments, Miss Mamie Ma

rooms on the third floor of the Court
block, rushed out upon the fire escape
adjoining the window of her room,
shortly after midnight, and would have
jumped from her perilOus position if it
had not been for the warning of sew
eral pedestrians.
Miss Mahaney was awakened by the
smoke, which was caused by smol-
dering fire in a storeroom adjoining her
rooms. She could not find the door
leading to the corridor so leaped out
upon the fire ladder. She was about
to jump, when bystanders yelled to
her that help was coming.
A fireman ran to the third floor, and
breaking in Miss Mahaney's rooms, in
duced her to come off the escape. She
then walked to the ground floor. The
fire did damage estimated at 500.

CITY NEWS
WILL DIG bitches
State Drainage Board Holds
an important Meeting.

The state drainage board yesterday
held an important meeting at the office
of the governor at the capitol, and
considered work which it is desired
shall be done this year. The total APP
preparation for drainage is but $25, 600
each year, and as twenty-five miles of
bitches to cost $4,000 have already
been contracted for, the board was
compelled to defer awards for work
which it is conceded is very desirable
Since the creation Of the board it has
expended 100000, draining 400,0 900
acres of land, and it is estimated that
the increased value of the land
amounts to $3,500,000.
The board consists of the governor,
state auditor and secretary of state,
and George A. Ralph, of Crookston,
engineer of the board. A number of
men prominent in Northern Minnesota
appeared before the board to advocate
the extension of the work in Roseau,
Clay and WadeHa counties.
ROseau county asked for the deepen
ing and charging OF the channel Of
the Roseau river at an estimated cost
of $4,000. 1t was urged that the i'm
prOvement would reclaim many thou
sand acres of land, but as that county
has had work to the value of $4,000
in the past, no action was taken on the
petition.
the survey and advertise for bids for
the extension Of ditch in 40-140 in
Becker county at a cost of $500. Farm
ers interested have already contributed
toward this work.
Senator F. H. Peterson, of Clay coun-
ty, presented a proposition to excavate
a big ditch along the watershed be-
tween the Red and the Mississippi
tributaries and to drain a large area.
The board agreed last fall to eXpend
$4,000, but will not undertake the en-
tire task unless the county and the
Great Northern will cooperate in pay
ing for it. 1t is proposed that the
county pay $4,000 and the railroad
company an equal amount, as the ditch
will save them big sums in claims for
overlooking lands each season.
KittSOn county asked the eXtention
Of the Two Rivers ditch, which has
been ordered at an expense of $500;
the New SOlum ditch, in Marshall coun-
ty, is to have a second extension to
cost $4,000; Polk county will witness
the extension of the Grand Marais
ditch, at a cost Of $4,000, and the deep
ening of the Gun lake ditch in Aitkin
county, to cost not to exceed 81, 200,
was ordered. The board was petit
toned to build another ditch in Aitkin
county, to cost $4,000, and which it was
said would reclaim Is, 900 acres of land,
but action Is not probable in the near
future.
The engineer was ordered to make
the survey and do preliminary work, at
a cost not to exceed $1,000, in Aitkin
county, and $4,000 was set aside for
work in Beltrami county. The survey
will be made this season.
