DYNAMITE IN CELLAR

But for the fact that Mr.. Mcdonald,
an old time experienced miner, was
tending furnace at the residence of
Father J. P Carrigan Friday morning
it is more than probable the entire
household would have been blown into
eternity. AS "Mc" was about to lift
the coal to the furnace he noticed a
large stick of dynamite with a foot of
fuse attached. He readily recognized
it as miners dynamite and acc ounts
for its presence as having been planted
with several other sticks, this one fail
ing to explode, and was carelessly left
in the coal. It contained sufficient ex-
plosive to blow the house and its con-
tents to atoms, and had that charge
gone into the furnace the cause of the
resultant tragedy would have never
been known.

SENATOR THOMAS DOES
THE UNUSUAL THING

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Thom-
as of Colorado did the unusual today
by having the senate clerk read let
ter from local renting agent, flatly
calling the senator "liar'' and a
damn fool for having said in a
speech last week that Washington
folks were charging extortionate prices
for food and lodging.
The writer concluded by predicting
that incompetent Democrats would
be swept out OF office.
Senator Thomas smiled broadly as
the galleries roared at the vigorous
sentences
at seems dispassionate, impersonal
and non-partisan, remarked the sena-
tor at its conclusion and he objected
to Senator Phelan's contention that it
should be expunged from the record as
a reflection on the senate.
Senator Penrose. Republican, OBJ
served that it seemed to be rejection
not on the senate but on the Demo-
cratic majority and the incident was
closed.
