Almost Immediately a deafening
report sounded and the whole neigh

Windows in other buildings in the
reighhorhood were shattered and
the entire community was thrown
into panic.
Mrs Madin says-her husband was
in the basement firing the furnace

theory is that the presence OF the
Kroger company store was not de-
sired in the neighborhood which is
dotted with small corner grocery
stores. Since the Kr0ger company
opened one OF its stores in the heart
OF the little Italian district. the
small italian groceries have felt the
