Fuse Attached TO Explosives.

Inside the box-like section of the
pier twenty-one sticks of dynamite
were found. The explosive was en-
tirely hidden except that a fuse 10
feet long hung out
In a similar position at the next
pier eighteen sticks of dynamite were
found with fuse attached. Both of
these piers were is the middle of the
bridge.
Further inspection disclosed two
sticks Of dynamite lying near the
bridge, evidently at the spot where
the man had been arranging the dyna-
mite and attaching the fuse.
The officers said the dynamite
would test 40 per cent; enough, they
declare, to blow the bridge to atoms.
From position directly above the
dynamite, on top of the bridge, the
man could have commanded distant
view of any train approaching, and if
experienced with dynamite he could
have so timed his fuses as to destroy
any train he wished.
E. e. Calvin, vice-president and
general manager of the Southern Pa
cific, offered $4,000 reward for infor-
nation that would lead to the arrest
of the alleged dynamiters.

Grand Junction, Colo, June 20, 1911.
A. II. Floaten:
There has been report circulated to
the effect that the Socialist mayor, Thos.
M. Todd, had driven the unemployed out
of Grand Junction. | take this means
of correcting this misstatement.
There were a few professional tramps
making nuisance in the city park, as
only the cheaper type of parasites know
how, and they were asked to move to
where they would be the least possible
nuisance Ito the Jungles), and the cheap
capitalist papers OF Grand Junction wrote
il up in sensational manner. You need
not fear but what Mayor Todd will be
an honor to the Socialist party. We did
feed the unemployed (75 Of them) and
Mayor Todd was with us on the deal,
and the only reason that he was not
present at the so-called banquet was be-
cause he was out of town at the time.
Yours truly,
w. w. GOODMAN,
County Secretary OF the Socialist Party.
