Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1910-10-06

the attempted outrage has wrought
this city to an intense state of sus-
pense and excitement.
General Otis and the other heads of
the paper unequivocally charge the
Times building disaster and the mar
rowly averted attempts at further de-
struction of life and property to labor
union sources.
The Otis home is known as "The
Bivouac," and stands on Wiltshire ave-
nue., in the most fashionable section
OF the city. After the finding of the
Internal machine at the Zeehandelaar
residence, Detective Rice was sent to
"The Bivouac" to make a search of
the premises.
With Charles Focken, the gardener,
he found a suit case hidden under a
bunch of vines under bay window on
the side fronting West Lake park.
Detective Rice telephoned Chief Of
Police Galloway who went Immediate
ly to General Otis home. Together
they examined the suit case.
Chief of Police Galloway wanted to
take it to the police station without
opening it. Rice insisted upon open
ing it there and finally stuck knife
into the side of the receptacle. A
buzz of mechanism was heard inside
and smoke began coming out around
the edges of the aperture.
Convinced that the suitcase con-
tanned bomb, excitedly Chief Clio
way ordered the Internal machine
rushed over to the park where it's
explosion could do but comparatively
little damage.
Rice and Focken picked it up and
dashed across the street. Putting it
down they sped away and put about
100 feet between them and the bomb
when it went off with a crash that
threw the entire neighborhood into a
panic.
The explosion tore out a portion of
the curling of the street paralleling
the park. Branches of tree directly
overhead were torn of, together with
portion of the park fence. A plate
glass windshield in the Otis home was
also shattered.
That no greater damage was done
was due to the fact, experts say, that
the explosive it contained was not
packed or closely confined.
In the Otis family at the time of the
explosion we're Mrs. Harry Chandler,
daughter of the general, and a rela-
tive, Mrs. Booth, and the latter's two
children.
The Internal machine found at Mr..
Zeechandelaar's was composed of Is
sticks of giant powder attached to a
at l o'clock in the morning-the same
hour at which the explosion occurred
in the Times Office. The bomb was
first discovered at the Zeehandelaar
home by servant in the employ of
the family who called special Off
Ger, who reported to the police.
The president of the local typo
graphical union issued orders that
union printers may work in conjunc-
ton with the non-uniol printers of
the Times in any of the local news
paper Offices in getting out the edition
of the Times.
The city council met and appropri'
ated S25, Geo for the purpose of de-
termining the cause of the Times ex-
plosion, and provided reward of
$4,000 for the capture of those respon.
sible for. the outrage. So. ......

Gil, meeting with other city officers
and local union leaders, during the
day, mutually agreed to call off the
big union labor parade planned for
next Monday night as a demonstra-
ton against local conditions alleged
to be hostile to the interests of union
labor. .,f..- 10. F..
