Attempt to Dynamite Monhose Man.

The following dispatch from our
nelghboring town Of Montrose was
published in the Denver dailies:
Montrose, Colo, Nov. 1.-THE fail
ure of his telephone to work probably
saved the life of James A. Beatty,
local humane agent, late Saturday night
A stick of dynamite, capped and at
tached to slow fuse, was placed in
his buggy at the barn, after which an
attempt was made to get him out of
bed on hurry up telephone call. The
telephone was out Of order and Beatty
could not be summoned.
Fifteen minutes later the explosion
took place. 1t was the evident intention
of the dynamiters to have Beatty reach
the barn just about the time the dyna-
mite exploded.
The buggy in which the dynamite
was placed was almost completely de-
molished, and the barn was partially
wrecked. The explosion was heard for
a mile and shook all buildings in the
vicinity of Beatty's residence.
The police and sheriff's office are
making thorough investigation. Sus-
picion points to a number of men who
have been accused by Beatty of being
cruel to stock, whom he threatened
with vigorous prosecution.
