amiting of her fathers home in Tue

Superintendent w. II. whalen for
merly lived in this city and was at the
head Of the Chicago & Northwestern's
Iowa division. After giving up his work
here he went west and has an import
ant position on one of the big western
| roads. He makes his headquarters at
Tucson. and here the damage was
wrought which nearly caused the loss
OF two lives.
Friday Miss Whalen got a telegram
merely stating that their home had
been wrecked by the explosion of a
i dynamite bomb. She knew none of the
details, and feared for the safety of her
father and Mrs. Whalen. Saturday she
| received another message Eating that
| they had escaped without any injuries
whatever. Superintendent Whalen in
the meantime had written and the let
ter this morning brought the details.
| Superintendent and Mrs Whalen
| sleep in open apartments on the sec
ond floor Of their home, their Sleep
ing room being directly over another
bed room. 1t was in the latter room
that the dynamite bomb had been
thrown, and had Miss Marie been at
home she would undoubtedly have been
blown to pieces, for her room was to-
tally wrecked, her bed being blown
thru the wall. Instead of blowing up,
dynamite blows down. and the two oc-
cupants Of the second floor escaped
without injury. But their escape was a
narrow one. The house was complete
ly wrecked, the furniture, pictures,
hangings, ETC.. were ruined. Superin-
! tendent and Mrs. Whalen were pulled
from the debris and at first 1t was
feared that they had both been killed.
The domestics live in cottage nearby
and they escaped without any injury.
and the lodgings also escaped without
damage.
Miss Whalen could not give any
reasons for this outrage and all Ari-

people, and by the people of the city
and friends here are at a loss to I'M
