demanded in conjunction with the

On the other hand in case OF

that they are now in shape to care

Some three years ago, at the time of
the attempt to blow up the home of
Ex-Mayor Fay with dynamite, the
Enterprise concluded that Virginia
at that time was the abode of the
most despicable creature that the
Lord had ever permitted to inhabit
the iron ranges, but recent events
at Ely would prove that another of
his ilk exists and has being, with
Ely as his abode. On the morning
of the Fourth this wretch made a
successful attempt to wreck the
office of Land Commissioner West
colt with dynamite, the interior of
the Office being mass of ruins
after the explosion. In the case of
the attempt of three years ago to
wreck the home of Mr.. Fay in this
city, however, it was the evident OBJ.
ject of the scoundrel who perpetrat.
ed or who planned the deed to blow
the occupants of the home, along
with the home, to Kingdom come
and the only thing that saved the
family from destruction was the
lack of knowledge of the use OF
dynamite. The meanness of some
men surpasses the understanding OF
mortal, and we doubt if the Lord
can account for the dispositions
shown.
