DYNAMITE GAPS
Packages Placed on Doorsteps
Of Two Clergymen at
Denison, Iowa.
FIRST BELIEVED A HOAX
Motive for Attempted Explosions
Mystery and People of Town
Are Wrought Up.

Denison, Iowa, Sept. 5.-Packages
containing dynamite caps, loose gun
powder and a short piece of fuse
were found in front of the residences
of Rev. ]. H. Senseney, pastor of the
First Methodist church, and Rev. J.
James De Pree, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church. Beside each
package was an empty whisky bot
tie. Rev. Mr.. Senseney thought the
bundle had been left by some In
ebriate and threw the bottle and
package into the street The bottle
struck the curb and was broken, but
the package fell on the soft ground,
coming undone and revealing the
contents without exploding.
COMMITTEE Is APPOINTED.
Later the men of all the churches held
meeting at which a committee of
three was appointed to secure evil
dence At first the matter was re-
garded as a hoax, but the dangerous
character and the quantity of the
explosives forbid that theory. There
has been no anti-saIoon crusade or
other excitement to create personal
hostility and the motive for the at
tempted explosions is a mystery.

WALNUT DESKS HAVE.
UNUSUAL HISTORY
Furniture in the Land Office Was
Brought Around the Horn for
First Register and Receiver

There are two walnut desks in the
have been a part of the equipment
since the office was established at
Yakima City before this town had an
existence. They were brought around
the Horn by sailing vessel, then up
the Columbia river and overland to
Yakima City being, in all probability
the first pieces of furniture of that
kind that ever entered this valley and
of course the first to come overland.
There used, until recently. to be a
table in the land office which was
product Of the skill, as a cabinet
maker, Of Judge Bruce Milroy In
the old days at Yakima City Judge
Milroy, when he was young barrist-
err, used to look at the walnut desks
in the land office and wish he had
something of the kind. Then he de-
cided to make for himself an office
desk and he constructed substantial
table and used IL. Later when he
answered to the call Of Alaska he left
his table with the land office boys and
it remained as a part of the equip
ment until a few months ago when II
was removed to make way for some
new furniture whtch the government
allowed for the ause Of the corps. But
the old desks are still on duty. They
are not on dress parade. as they have
been removed from the front to the
back office, but they are still work.
Ing 1t Is probable that. several
years hence, when the proposed fed
eral building is completed. they will
at last have served the nation as long
as required and will give way to new
er types.
