HIGH EXPLOSIVES

EVIDENT ATTEMPT TO DESTROY
STEAMSHIP is FRUSTRATED BY
DISCOVERY OF BOMBS.
Steamer Loaded With IJtssnitio"5-In-
fernaI Machines are Placed SO They

is Closed.

New York-An evident attempt,
the police believe, to blow up or des
stroy by fire the steamship Lapland
of the Red Star line-now sailing in
the White Star line fieet--was frus-
trated by the discovery late Tuesday
afternoon OF two bottle shaped bombs
concealed in Cne of the matches.
The Lapland was loaded with war
munitions for the allies, and Is lche-
duled to sail Wednesday morning for
Liverpool.
The members of the Anglo-French
commission here to negotiate loan
for the allies in this country were
The Lapland has run the German sub
marine gauntlet several times since the
war began. and one one occasion was
reported sunk.
The two bombs were CT glass, Ave
inches high, shaped like a boys spin
ming top, with the peg end cut off
to make a fat bottom about three in
ches in diameter
A heck about two inches long,
where the head of the top would be,
stead of being .corked the end Of the
neck of each of them was fused to-
gether after they were filed with the
explosive or incendiary liquid.
john Enright, at first said to be a
stevedore foreman and later detec-
tive emoloyed by the steamship COM
pany, found both bombs in the second
hatchway of the steamer, after the
longseshoremen who had been leading
the ship night and day with the wal
munitions had quit werk.
They were on either side of the
! hatch, resting on a narrow ledge,
Whoever placed them there, it was
suggested, expected that the matches
were to be in place in readiness for
sailing Wednesday morning. In such
an event the hatches would have
| crushed the necks of the bombs
and liberated the acids, causing
either an explosion Or a conflagration
The matches were not put on, how
ever, it being customary not to faster
! down the matches until the vessel is a
sea, and then only in heavy weather
The terheavy shape of the bomb
/ also led to the belief that whoeve
| placed them may have expected tha
they would be upset by slight rollins
Of the ship if they escaped detection
and the same purpose be accom-
plished.
Enright reported his find to the pt
lice, who took possession Of the bomb
and turned them over to lnspecto
owen Egan for analysis.

.CHAS. CILLEN KILLED

Gillen was blown into eternity. His
mangled body was found later ly-
! Ing in the drift about 80 feet back
from the face. Percy Burridge was
at Gillen's side when the blast went
| off; Robinson was a little further
back gathering up the toos with
which they had been working and
both came out of the ordeal with
hardly scratch. How they es.
capped the fate of their companion is
nothing short of miracle.
| The death blast had extinguished
their lightc; but being familiar with
the direction and by crawling on
their hand sand knees, managed to
reach points of safety before the
six other explosions occurred.
Mr.. Burridge was the first to
reach the station to send up the ac
cident signal and in a few moments
assistance arrived from the surface

could be arranged through Mr. Chas.
Norcross, who recently became a
member of the faculty of the agri-
cultural school and who is thoroughly
familiar with Nevada farm require
ments. While this step has been TAX
en-, final arrangements cannot be
made until farmers in the various
parts of the county let it be known
what subjects they most des re dis
discussed and are requested to write
to the Record and express theil
preferences. Then arrangements viii
be made for the meetings.
1t behooves every Lincoln county
farmer to take an interest in this
movement, for it is one OF the
best ways in which they can receive
benefit from the school which the!
pay taxes to support. The opportun
ity is here to get trained men il
agricultural lines to come to this
county and the Record urges ever!
tiller of the soil to write in AM
help the project along.
During the hour spent at Panaca OF
