The lid and back of the box are in the

The only clew TO the explosion is a

sides of which are badly warped and
twisted. This tin, which was blown far
across the railroad tracks. is clean on It's

first reported intended for transporta-

fire In the hold OF that transport IL was
at once imagined that there might have
been a plot to burn or blow up the Meade.
Such ideas are made to seem improbable
