DYNAMITE COULD
NOT KILL FARMER

FOREST GROVE, Ore, Feb. 22.-
For once the man who dries dyna-
mite on stove has escaped with his
life, but only as by miracle. AL.
Bledsoe, farmer living eight miles
north of here, is the man who sue
cessfully defied the fool-killer, when
eighteen sticks of dynamite exploded
close to him yesterday afternoon.
The violent explosion tore nearly
all of Bledsoe's clothes from his
body, ripped his hat to rags and
broke the works of his watch. The
roof was also blown from the potato
house where the accident occurred
and the stove was shattered to frag-
ments.
But it didn't kill Bledsoe. Il
scratched his face, dazed him so that
he talked incoherently afterward and
slightly injured his chest. Although
doctor was called to attend him, the
physician said his services were not
necessary and that the man is not in
the slightest danger.

Levont Martougession, the Armenian
priest, who it said to be the head of
the Hunchakist society, will be plac-
ed on trial tomorrow charged with
the robbery and Matchmaking OF
prominent Armenians. 1t is said
that, however, when this case is de-
termined, the priest will be charged
with completely in the murder of H.
S. Tavshanjian, a wealthy Armenian
rug merchant, who was murdered
last summer by Bedros Hampartsou-
milan, now serving term OF impris-
onment for the crime.
1t is stated that it is likely that
Hampartsoumian will be witness
against the priest According to the
police theory, he is simply tool in
the hands of band of blackmailers
who used his patriotism and the
name of the Hunchakist society, for
merly an Armenian revolutionary or
ganiZation, in order to levy tribute
from wealthy Armenians.
Several Armenian merchants viii
