Former Mayor A. H. Bouseman' OF

thrown fro. the street under ham
mock in which he was lying.
No clue to the identity Of the muir

Mr.. Bouseman had been spending
the hot evening sleeping in a ham
mock swung between two trees on the
lawn in front of his residence. win
ont a word of warning at about 10
o'clock the dynamite bomb was thrown
hy someone passing along the street
II landed in the hammock at his feet
and in an instant exploded Bouse
mans feet were torn away by the
bursting shell, and his legs frightiuily
mutilated. In great agony he died an
hour later.
Although the town authorities made
every effort TO discover the assassin.
70 clue could be found. and 1t is be
leved he escaped without being seen
bv any one The news quickly spread
about town and excitement grew to
high pitch
AS mayor of Ridgeway Mr.. Bouse-
man presided over the police court OF

thought that some person upon whom
Bouseman in his court had passed
sentence Of punishment held grudge
against him and had been awaiting an
opportunity to wreak vengeance Oh
him. The opportunity came as Bouse
man lay sleeping in the open air.
The terrific report attracted many
persons to the scene. but the excite
rnent was so great that apparently nc
one thought to search for the assas
sin until be had made his escape IN
