COSTLY RESIDENCE DESTROYED
SEQUEL of the Failure of Banker Nc
Coy Is a Dynamite OutlaWry
by Others.

Rensselaer,, Ind, Oct. 1.-THE feel
ing that has been growing here since
the failure Of the Mccoy bank last
April reached a climax when the beau
tful home of Thomas J. Mccoy, who
was identified with his father in the
operations of the bank, was totally
destroyed by dynamite. The sound OF
the explosion could be heard for miles.
Windows in residences for blocks
around We're shattered, and some Of
the business houses suffered The Nc
Coy family was not at home at the
time, and it is believed that none Of
them is in the city. -,
Wreck of the Home Complete.
Thomas Mccoy has been in La
fayette for several days, but reports
are current that he is now visiting in
Chicago with his daughter. Mrs. Nc
Coy is thought to be in Lafayette. The
wreck of the home is complete. The
walls were blown outward, precipitat-
ing the roof into the basement Frag
ments of the residence and pieces of
furniture were found hundreds of feet
away. The loss cannot be correctly
estimated, but the residence alone is
known to have cost more than $25,
900. 1t was deliberately furnished.
No Effort to Enforce the Law.
Immediately after the explosion a
crowd gathered about the ruins, but no
effort was made to capture the guilty
persons. 1t is believed there were
three or four of the dynaniters, as it
is reported that several men were seen
about the premises just before the eX
plOsiOn. The Mccoy bank failed last
April and the liabilities greatly eX-
ceeded the assets. Many families lost
heavily, as the bank was one of the
best known and oldest established in
this part of the state.

was accompanying her husband on a

Little could be done in an effort to
aid the crew of the disabled craft, as
the Cape Cod life-savers from two sta
lions were unable to launch their surf
boats in the tremendous seas. A shot
line was fired to the schooner, which
lay not much more than 300 yards
from shore There was one answering
pull and the life-savers thought that
they heard a voice above the roar Of

yond this there was no sign of life on
