Hocking.-An explosion of forty
boxes Of dynamite here seriously in
jured two men, slightly injured thir-
ty-one other people, destroyed three
business buildings and completely de-
molished twelve freight cars and their
loads of merchandise. There Is not
house in the town that is not more or

were in the vicinity Of the explosion
had miraculous escape from instant
death.
The explosion followed fire in the
Hooking Supply company's store,
which was discovered soon after mid
night. The side tracks Of the Iowa
Central railroad run near this build

they were at work on one car which

a consignment Of dynamite; the men
ran, lodging around the corner of the
building just in time to get out Of the
direct force of the explosion which
followed.
T. Two of the men were seriously in
jured in spite of their flight.

HEIREss FIGHTS FOR ESTATE.
Young Woman Claimant for Large
English Property.

English Property.
Sioux City.--If Miss Nellie Ingham
can make proof or ner identity Ia the
proceedings now on In the district
court in this city, hers will be the ro-
nance Of going from poverty to COM
parative affluence and possession Of q
fine old English estate.
Miss Ingham, whose home Is in Nor
folk, Neb., but who is we'll known in
Sioux City, has been known as Nellie
Peggar, taking her name from the
family that took her as mere babe
and reared her to womanhood in their
home near Sioux City. She was
brought to the United States oy her
poverty stricken father when she was
only 2 years old. She never heard
from him after he placed her with the
Peggars until his death sometime
ago, when she lear4ed also that his
name was John Ingham, Jr. Some
time later inquiry came to this city
from firm of English solicitors, ask
ing about the existence of daughter
Of this John Ingham and explaining
that she was heir to an aristocratic
old home near Liverpool, and other
property valued at something more
than 100000. Then began her ef-
forts to establish her identity and the
hearing in court this week is to take
evidence to be sent to England.
Miss Ingham's life In recent years
has been one of strange and tragic
eventfulness She was within a foot
of the spot of the gruesome Nethaway
murder recently committed on q
crowded railroad coach, which smote
the passengers with terror. She was
also by fate made witness of the
Crank lamar murder in Nebraska last
spring. ------- ~
