STICK OF DYNAMITE
HAD BEEN PLACED IN BUNDLE OF
 PAPER. N
Is Discovered ut Selma Station By Police Oliccr-Might Have Killed Many Per-
 sons.
Advertiser Bureau.


 Selma, Dec. 15.
 At least a hundred people narrowly escaped being blown to pieces ana the union passenger station or the Southern Railway being wrecked py dynamite this morning upon the ar rival of the Southern train from bir- mingham at 11:20 o'clock.
 Upon the arrival of the train from Birmingham, the door of the mail coach was opened and bundle of Birming- ham papers were thrown out upon the platform. As the bundle of papers fell, it careened to one side and there rolled upon the platform a can shaped ob- ject about three inches long and about a half inch in circumference. on one end of this there was a cap.
 Police Officer Todd was standing on the platform clAse to where the bun- dle of papers were thrown out, and seeing the object fall from the bundle of papers. picked 1t up. Upon exam i ination, it was found that the object was a stick of dynamite. about half a pound at one end of which was cap for its explosion. The stick was similar to the dynamite which is used for blasting purposes.
 After examining the stick Of dyna- mite, Police Officer Todd carried 1t to police headquarters and turned it over to Chief Walters. All who saw 1t and have any knowledge of the explo- slve state that if it had been exploded the concussion would have been great enough to have blown the depot to spIinters and to have killed many of the people that were around the sta tion besides wrecking a large number of the houses in the vicinity of the depot.
 Soon after the stick of dynamite was thrown from the mail car the train pulled out for Meridian and the mail agent was not questioned by Police man Todd. No other member of the | train crew which changed here can advance any idea as to how the stick | of dynamite got into the bundle of papers and 1t will probably always re- main one of those unexplained myste ries.

They both laughed over the pun, and
Morley said It was 50 good he was
going to tell his wife about 1t. At
