Oneida county officials are MAX
ing a rigid investigation in an
effort TO get a clue which may
lead 10 the arrest of the person or
persons responsible for a bomb eX-
plosion at Brentwood Camp on
Garth lake, miles south of Hazel
hurst. +. L. Colby, proprietor of
the resort, was Severly injured in
the explosion.
Colby was doing some work in
the resort stable when the explo-
sion occurred. Reaching for a
pitch fork in the hay NOW, he
placed his hand on a dry cell bat
terry and discovered that it was
attached TO two other batteries,
all connected with wire. The
plant" exploded when Colby gave
one of the batteries a jerk.
Colby's hands were badly LAGER
ated and he was injured on the
face, chest, and abdomen. He will
recover. Evidence found by
Sheriff Hans Rodd showed that in
all probability the explosion was
caused by an electric dynamite
cap. If other explosion material
