Colonel Suggs the contract or adyer-

The legal opinion was in the Colo

DETECTIVE BURNS TRAILS AN
ALARM CLOCK

A keyhole and an alarm clock com
bined to furnish this country last
month with a sensation which for a
while cast into obscurity the warfare
in Mexico. the political contests in
Washington, the high price of living
and the coming coronation in Great
Britain. The keyhole was one in
door of Mrs. Ingersoll's boarding house
in San Francisco. inside the door,
eight or nine months ago, so the story
runs. two men sat talking in low tones
of their plans to dynamite certain
buildings Outside the door was the
inquisitive landlady with her ear to
the keyhole listening. She heard
enough to arouse her suspicious, and
when the building of the Los Angeles
Times was soon after blown up, bury
ing twenty one persons in the ruins,
she communicated what she had heard
and gave the detectives their first clear
clue The alarm clock in the case was
a very alarming one indeed, 1t was
found under new bridge in Peoria,
ILL.,. an ordinary fifty.cent clock-wth
a slight modification. The handle that
orerated the alarm was missing but
in its place was a piece of bent cop
per wire Near by was small dry
battery, with ground wire and an
other wire running to a Illuminating
charge in two,allon package of
dynamite.
When the time for which the alarm
was set arrived, the bent copper wire
moved and closed the circuit. The
srark of electricity was sent to the
Illuminating charge The dynamite
should have exploded and wrecked the
bridge. But in this case the spark was
a little too weak to do what was eN-
pected of It, No explosion occurred.
The clock was discovered and turned
over to the detectives. An explosion
came, indeed, later but not the sort
originally designed Who placed the
alarm clock there? That was the prob
lem for the detectives to solve. When
the Los Angeles Times building was
lblown mp. a clock "of exactly the same
kind" was found. with another uneN-
ploded package OF dynamite, near the
home of the owner of The Times, Cen
eral Harrison Grey Otis. ENamina-
tion disclosed the use OF the sante
make Of clock in other explosions and
attempted explosions in widely sepa-
rated plaCes--a church in Clinton, In
diana; a court house in Omaha, a no.
tel in French Lick. Indiana, and so
forth. In the last five years, in fact
seventy such attempts have been re.
corded by the National Erectors' AZ
sociation, and practically no part of
The United States has been free" from
chem. Here a bridge there a Nia-
duct. somewhere else a derrick or

WILL cARLOss HURT.

Charles l.. Daniel, one of the most
popular and useful young business
men of Hopkinsville, was thrown
from a vehicle four miles south of
town Friday evening and instantly
killed. At the same time Will Car
loss had one of his ankles broken
near the joint, and Will Stowe was
thrown out but escaped serious in
jury by landing in mudhole by the
roadside.
The young men left in the morn
ing in Mr.. Daniels light spring
wagon for a days fishing at Cherry
Bottom pond near Howell. They had
good success and were returning
home about six o'clock when the
accident occurred. The horse. a
wild and uuruly animal hired from
a livery stable. for some unknown
reason started to running and the
young men were thrown out.
Mr.. Carloss and Mr.. Daniel were
on the seat. the former driving. Mr..
Stowe was sitting on small box in
the bed of the wagon, his arm rest
ing on the seat in front of him. At
the first plunge the horse made, he
SHE'D to one side, the wheels on one
side dropping into ditch and Mr..
Stowe went out headforemost and
landed in a mudhole by the roadside.
He extricated himself as soon as he
could, but when he got up the trag-
edy was over. Looking for his COM
panions he saw them lying in the
road, the horse having broken loose
from the vehicle when it struck a
telephone pole. He ran about fif-
ty yards to where Mr.. Daniel was
lying across the pike and found him
dead. He attempted to resuscitate
him by working his arms and rub
bling his chest. but found no sign OF
life. Fifty feet further was Mr..
Carloss. lying in a heap and motion
less. He found him alive, but with
his right ankle broken. the bone
protruding through the flesh and
sock. Some distance up the road,
the vehicle was found with its con-
tents intact and it is supposed both
of the young men jumped out. Mr..
Carloss was in semi-conscious state
and remained that way for several
hours. He stated upon regaining
consciousness that he remembered
seeing Mr.. Daniel lying in the road
just before his own fall.
The horse continued to run and
