Scene Of Explosion.
The scene Of the explosion was in
an alley in the rear Of the central
telephone exchange This exchange
was unable to do any more business
during the night. Two restaurants
facing on Clark street were blown
practically into the street, food and
dishes being scattered over the car
tracks.
IN this alley also was the rear en-
trance to Powers & Gilbert's saloon,
headquarters for Martin g. Madden
and his associates in the building
trades. Madden and his men are
figuring. largely in labor disputes at
present and have been the subject of
grand jury indictments
Another place opening into the alley
which was badly damaged was the
cash register store Of Mont Tennes,
who is also alleged to conduct several
gambling places. Tonnes' place has
been ralded frequently by the police
and another bomb was exploded there
Il year ago.
On the opposite side of Clark street

The crash was heard for miles.
Damage Is Heavy.
The police estimate the damage at
100000, One theory is that SO cleo
tric installers who have been on slrike
against the Chicago Telephone COM
panS which suffered the greatest
damage. may have been behind the
deed. Another is that gamblers who

it well founded. well grounded in prin-

self to the concrete case which we be-

the invocation and application of the
provision Of our charter providing for
the recall.

Of its adoption, five to one But still,
notwithstanding that accomplishment

This resolution was read and adopted
after Judge Cyrus F. McNutt, a prom
inent Democrat, had f1ayed the Harper
administration mercilessly for what he
considered its betrayal of the citizens.
Deafening applause was accorded Judge
McNutt's address and ringing cheers
for The Herald resounded through the
dining room when reference was made
to the newspaper that has been con-
Quoting a campaign for civic decency.
Judge McNutt's subject was "The
Recall" and when he arose to speak
he faced one of the largest audiences
ever assembled at a luncheon of the
City club.
The speaker began in a calm, ju-
dicial tone, but when he had warmed
to his subject he rounded period after
period and each was met with a storm
of applause. At times the applause
was SO loud and prolonged as to be-
come deafening, and when in reference
to the appointment of Kern on the
board of public works Judge McNutt
said:

dollars for the Owens river water and

OF A. Nevlow burned with its con-
tents. The house is located about
a mile east of town and outside the
reach of the fire department. The
fire caught from the stove shortly

Nevlow were aware of it, it had
reached such a stage that they .es-
capped from the burning building
only by jumping out window in
their night clothes, Mr.. Nevlow
grabbing suit of clothes and two
pairs of shoes as he went. Fred
Veeder was the first to arrive on
the scene and found Mr.. Nevlow
fighting off the sparks from the hay
stack and Mrs. Nevlow guarding
the chicken house from the flames.
He took charge and Mr.. and Mrs.
Nevlow repaired to a neighbors

farm which he owned for nearly
forty years. He was highly esteem
ed by friend and neighbor in the

friends, as fidelity and integrity
were the strong features of his char
acter.
He was married in 1885 to Miss
Ella Frederick who still survives
him. as also do three sons, George,
Courtney and Stanley who have
reached the age in life when they
can be a great help to their mother
in her time of trial and lonliness.
Two daughters who died in early
childhood have preceded the father
into the great beyond. Funeral
services were held from his home
