DYNAMITE IS
REVENGE'S TOOL.
DELTON (WIS) MANS PLACE is
BLOWN UP AS A CLIMAX TO
RUMOR.
Not a Glass Window in the Place Left
Intact and Postoffice Front
Is Demolished.

BARABOO, Wis, Nov. IA Special
There is not a whole glass window in
the no-Ecense town of Delton, near here,
this morning.
A terrific explosion of dynamite last
night blew up Jerry Bresnahan's build
ing in that village. 1t is said the act
was one of revenge, and to punish the
alleged operation of a "blind pig" in
Delton.
Little Evidence Is Left.
1t is stated in a telephone message
from Delton today that Bresnahan was
accused by villagers of running a blind
pig" The truth or opposite of this allie
cation had not been determined. Bres-
nahan denies it and there is nothing left
now that would conclusively show evil
dence for or against him.
No One Is Injured.
While the building in which Bresna-
han was keeping store was almost COM
pletely wrecked, and while the postofice
front across the street was demolished
and windows in every part of the place
shivered to bits by the impact of the
explosion, it is said that no one was in
jured.
Many were severly shaken up, how
ever, and other buildings besides those
named suffered more or less damage.
eDelton established nO-license by cleo
ton some time ago and the village folks
have guarded their cause as well as
possible. Not a licensed saloon has
been running in the place for a long
time, comparatively.
Rumors Have Climax
Rumors stirred the town within the
past week or more, that blind pig was
being operated within its limits The
explosion last night was the stirring
climax.
The full amount of the damage done
has as yet not been determined. It may
be some days before this is done, and
meanwhile telephone messages and ru-
mors are the only information obtainable
as to the exact nature Of the startling
occurrence.
Delton is little village on the Dell
river in Sank county, ten miles north of
Baraboo, and three miles from KilhOurn
City. 1t has a population of about $50
inhabitants. 1t is noted as a summer
resort and hundreds Of wealthy Chica
gOanS make their homes there.

PADDY LYNCH TO BE AN
UMPIRE IN THREE-EYE
Former Player Receives Appointment
From President Hoi-
land.

=. F. Lynch is to return to the base
ball diamond next season. not as a
player, but as holder of the indicator.
Yesterday there was sent out from
Bloomington the Office of President
Edward Holland. announcement of the
appointment as umpire of u. F. Lynch,
of Davenport" No such parsonage was
known to the fans on this side of the
river. but they took it for granted that
Mr.. Holland had made another discov-
cry, for it will be recalled that he did
not have very smooth sailing on the
umpire question last season, and
changed the officials SO often that it
was difficult to keep up on their names.
However, Mr. Holland believes for
the coming season he will have as
competent a force of umpires as ever
officiated in the Three-Eye. One of
these is to be Paddy Lynch. of Rock
Island. Paddy returns to his early
love. For several years he has been
employed in the harness department at
Rock Island arsenal. Two years ago
he was sent to the Philippines as an
expert in the ordnance department es-
tablished at Manila. He recently re-
turned. having served out his assign
ment. and was given his old place at
the arsenal. Inside work does not
agree with Paddy, and in the years
that he has been at the arsenal he has
never grown accustomed to it. So he
wants to get out in the open again.
He spoke TO President Sexton, of
Rock Island. and to Manager Hayes,
of Davenport. about a berth in the
league the coming season before they
left for the meeting at Peoria Both
were glad at the prospect of having
Paddy as an official. for they appre-
ciate that he will make competent
one. and both spoke TO President Hol-
land when they met him at Peoria.
When Mr.. Holland returned to Bloom
ington he appointed Lynch. Paddy was
member of the Rock Island team in
1894 and in 1898, playing in the field,

1t is the prevailing opinion among
the local railroad men that James j.

Too Much Money.
Mr.. Delano resigned when ID. VII
lard was appointed vice president in
charge of traffic three months ago.
but the resignation was not acted upon
at that time Wednesday a negro mes
senger from Wizards Office was sent
for Mr. Delano and when the latter
was ushered into the presence of liill'S
vice president he was told that his res
ignation was acceptable to the man
ment. This is one of the first cases
on record where railroad officer was
discharged by reason of his wealth.
In speaking of the peculiar circum-
stances yesterday Mr.. Delano said:
Mr. Hill asked too much. He ex-
pected results that no human being
could accomplish and he would accept
no excuses for failure TO bring about
his desires. While | have no partic-
