New York May 29.-The market for
stocks in New York was made almost
wholly from London. The amount
OF business originating on this side
was insignificant. The advance in
prices in London afforded opportunity
for selling americans in that market
and purchasing in New York at a prof.

TRIED To
BLOW UP
STATE Dam

Milford. la Sept. l2.-In attempt to
blow up the state dam. which holds the
waters OF Lake okoboji and Spirit lake,
miscreants placed $50 pounds of dynamite
in a favorable position and attempted TO
explode II.
The fuse burned itself out and Sunday
afternoon the explosive was removed from
the dam and ag uard placed TO watch the
embankment.
The lakes cover many miles of terri
tory and are the largest body of arti-
fetal water In the west. II the dam had
been blown up. hundreds of thousands of
dollars damages would have resulted and
the loss OF life would have been great,
as a huge wall of water would have swept
down the valley, which is densely popu-
lated.
No cause for the outrage can be as
signed. ~Bloodhounds have been tele-
graphed for and detectives are searching
for clues. Should a capture be made, a
lynching will undoubtedly follow, as feel
ing is very high.
