The incident in reference TO Pana-

fore the arrest Of the Los Angeles dy-
namiters, when they were becoming
desperate in their efforts 10 secure ex-
plosives without betraying their iden-
titles.

struction company has a lot of dyna-
mite stored down there. You could
easily get hold Of it and blow up the
locks. That would make 'em sit mp.

Times auxiliary plant blown up. and
who promised to the dynamiters that
his (Tvietmoe's) friendship with L. ..

Events duplicating the present de-

James B. offered to employ the

Of money in it. We're going TO Los
Angeles and blow the whole town to
