Saturday evening when an awful e1-

suddenly burst, but no trace OF any
such catastrophe was found.
The first explosion was followed
shertly by a second smaller and more
muffled noise and by this time the
occupants of the court house OFFICES
began to think they were bombarded
with asphyxiating gas and that they
had better leave. Just as the fort was
about to be evacuated, the news leak
