Farmer Is Victim of Own
Dynamite Thief Trap

Winsted, Conn.-When Henry
Koehler, fifty-eight, farmer of
West Cornwall, discovered that
his barn was being systematical-
ly looted, he fastened dynamite
over the barn door so that if
thief came at night he would ex-
plode it and be blown up. Last
night he forgot his trap and
opened the door without taking
precautions. The dynamite ex-
ploded, and Koehler is now in
a hospital suffering with pain
full cuts on the legs and thighs.
