INFERNAL MACHINE IN NAILS,
Dynamite Sent to Gen. Otis, Owner of
Los Angeles Times.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept, 16.-An in
fernal machine was sent through the
mails today to Gen. Harrison Grey
Otis, owner of the Los Angeles
Times. which was blown up in October
1910. by the Mcnamara conspirators.
The bomb, which was contained in
box four by five inches, was re-
ceived at the Otis residence this
morning. Gen. Otis became suspicious
and turned it over to the police.
The box was carefully opened and
found to contain two sticks of dyna-
mite, each cut in two pieces. Fuini-
mating caps were imbedded in each
piece and an arrangement Of sand
paper and matches formed a device to
explode the bomb when the box lid
should be lifted.
The bomb reahed the "Bivouac,"
Gen. Otis's home, at IL o'clock This
morning. 1t was contained in a small
package five inches long, three inches
wide and two inches deep, wrapped
III brown paper.
With other mail, it was given by
the pOstman to the Japanese servant
He removed the wrapping paper be-
fore taking it to Gen. Otis and told
the general that he thought there was
something suspicious about the pack
age.

ty.

Gaffney, Sept. 17.-Claude Burgess,
prominent Cherokee planter,
brought to the city yesterday a speci-
men of the bug which is playing havoc
with the cotton in this section of the
country. From all parts of the coun-
ty and surrounding counties have
come tales of the cotton being blight
ed or killed by an insect, but up to
yesterday there had been no speci-
men of the bug exhibited. The hole
on the outside of the green cotton
boil where the bug makes it's entrance
was no larger than the point of lead
pencil, but inside the bug evidently
grows and hourishes, as the one
shown here was fully as large as a
pea. None of the farmers who saw
the bug could supply Il name for it,
and Cherokee people are at loss
to know what ii is that they have Oh
their hands. 1t is the present inter-
tion to try and secure another speci-
men and send it to Clemson college

the fact that he had permitted MI.
Williamson to occupy vacant bed in
his room Sunday night. Mr.. Dominiclx
said there could be nothing in the
contention that the commissioners
have not the right under the statute
to dismiss an inmate, But the judge
stated that he was inclined to take
tho view that the statute In specifi-
cally providing for admission and for
management and making no provision
FOR dismissal. intended to provide q
permanent home for the infirm ami
destitute soldiers and sailors OF the
Confederancy. and that they could no
more be turned out into the street
than the inmates Of the lunatic asylum
they are there to be taken care OF,
and any reasonable necessary disci-
pline must be by other means than
turning them out of home. The judge
said that pending the final decision of
the case he must issue the temporary
restraining order to provide for the
plaintiffs support in the infirmary in
the meantime.
1t was agreed that the case be
heard Saturday at noon. along with
the pending case of Cameron. Jones
and James against the commissioners
OF the Confederate infirmary, these
three plaintiffs having been some
months ago dismissed from the in
Urinary by order OF the board upon
no charge but on the ground that the
institution had become too crowded
were too many inmates from their
| counties. They allege that they were
selected for dismissal from motives oi
I malice because they had testified be-
fore the legislative investigating com
mittee. They were restored to the in
| Urinary and have remained in IL b!
