DEADLY BOMB
IS A MENACE

That ii is high time that stringent
action was taken regarding the Kind
of material used in celebrating the
Fourth of July was amply evidenced
on the night of the Fourth in this
city.
During the evening crash was
heard in the front room of the Ban
mister building. occupied by the w. p.
Slough undertaking parlors and on
Investigation it was found that the
large pane of glass at the top of the
big front window was shattered
Search for the cause revealed a
dark object on one of the pieces of
furniture-an iron lump Weighing
about four or five ounces and having
a sharp point on it less than the
width of a lead pencil and more than
an inch long.
II was part of one of the large
bombs used that evening, and had it
struck anyone in the head the results
would have been instantly fatal. In
fact If anyone had been hit by the
object after 1t had passed through the
window the results would have been
serious in the extreme.
The deadly object is now at The
Sentinel office and many who have
seen it have expressed their indigna-
ton that such thing should be per-
mitted in fireworks.

The Sentinel's forecast last evening
of the republican slate was received
with quite a jolt by the leaders in the
party.
They thought the program could be
arranged on the quiet and then
sprung on the county convention as
though it We're spontaneous and the
delegates persuaded that it was the
voice of the rank and file demanding
that the various candidates make the
race.
Some of the leaders postponed out
of town trips today to hold confer

repair the damage caused by their
