SEVERAL EXPLOSIONS
AROUSED SLEEPERS
Some Insist Revolver Was Discharged
Others Think Torpedoes Explod-
ed on Railroad Track.

Several explosions in rapid success
sion as though shots were fired from a
revolver, resulted in telephone calls
for the police early this morning to
search near O. I. Wares premises on
Oak street. Chief George Wilson and
Officer Ellis G. Worden responded and
searched the neighborhood, but could
find no one. John j. Clune, who had
been sleeping on porch at his home
nearby was searching the premises of
Mr.. Ware when the officers arrived
He had been awakened. Numerous
others also were awakened, and while
some thought there was shooting, 9th
ers thought the noise was made by the
explosion of torpcdoes on the railroad
track, except that the noise was un
usually distinct. Torpedoes frequently
are exploded on the track at the hour
of night when the explosions in ques
| tion were heard. The matter created
much comment on the streets this
morning.
