Ninety Acres Near Site
of Country Club to Be
Divided Into Small Plots

John w. Reilly has given an option
to purchase to r. u. Wallower and
others ninety acres along the base
OF the ridge Immediately north of the
Harrisburg Country Club. Mr.. Wal
lower is out of the city and could
not be seen to confirm the report
that this property is to be convert
ed into bungalow sites of five acres,
each with water and light and all
the modern facilities.
No more attractive property for
this purpose could be imagined. 1t
is picturesque in it's environment
within view of the Susquehanna
river and the hills on the western
side and convenient to the Country
Club grounds, where the handsome
new building which will replace the
one destroyed by fire some months
ago will be completed and ready for
use with the opening of the new
year.
1t is understood that a number of
well-known persons have already
assured Mr. Wallower of their in
tention to purchase and build in the
proposed summer bungalow colony.
IT IS known that he has had the
matter under contemplation for
some time and has been consid ering
how best to develop the property
with view to making it attractive
to those who desire summer homes
under comfortable surroundings.

ATTEMPT MADE
TO WRECK STEEL
MILL WITH BOMB
Time Device Placed on Roof
of McKeesport Plant; Tears
Roof From Structure
MEN FLEE IN TERROR
Workmen Are Panicstricken
When Glass and Debris
Fall Around Them

Pittsburgh, Oct. S. An attempt
was made to wreck the plant of the
American Sheet and Tin Plate Com
pany at McKeeBport early to-day.
when a missile believed to have been
a bomb, was thrown on the shipping
department building. 1t exploded
tearing large hole in the roof of
the structure. No one was injured.
The police believe the explosion
was caused by a time bomb placed
upon the roof of the building.
Flee I'm Terror
Workmen on the night shift at
their posts directly under where the
missile exploded. fled in terror when
the explosion occurred and bits of
shattered wood and glass were hurl-,
cd in all directions. Foreign resi-
dents of the district, panic stricken,
rushed from their homes into the
streets.
The report of the blast could he
heard for blocks and attracted hun
dreds of persons to the scene.
Although several hundred mill
guards and police were rushed to
the plant ediately after the eX-
plosion, no trace of the person or
persons responsible for the blast
could be found.
The tin plate plant is one of the
largest concerns of its kind in the
country and has been affected by
the steel workers strike. During the
past week, however, many men are
said to have reported for work. The
police say that a number of these
men have been threatened with
death if they continued to remain at
work. They believe that the bomb
was used to terrorize the workmen
who have deserted the ranks of the
strikers in that district.
