persons were seriously hurt Wednes-
day evening when bomb. hurled i'll to
the east entrance Of the New Prospect
Baptist Church, exploded in the midst
OF 900 people gathered there in 2 poll
tical meeting.
The bombing is considered to be the
outgroWth of a hectic political cam
paign The controversy seems to be
over the attitude Of the colored voters
as to what faction they intend to join.
Followers of Watson Overton, candi-
date for mayor, were conducting the
meeting at the time of the explosion.
The speaker was in the act, so the re-
ports say, of accusing Mayor RoWette
Paine Of betraying the trust Of the COL
O-ed voters.
The Panic
The speaking was at its height when
the blast occurred. The force OF 1T sent
debris crashing through the first floor
into the basement. Windows were
shattered. The occupants of the church
were hurled some Of them, into the cell
lar, while others madly scrambled to
the door and were trampled in the
effort to get outside.
AmbulanceS, doctors and nurses were
rushed to the scene to care for the
injured.
A tall Caucasian man was reported to
have been seen running from the base
ment of the church just few minutes
before the detonation.

MURDERER
FROM
THE Scene:
Victim Of Debt Argument
Drops On Street AS He
PurSueS Killer
POLICE HUNT ASSAAAET
Theory Is That Slayer Is
Being Hidden By Friends

Henry Thomas, 3OO6 Ellis avenue,
was shot and killed during an ar
gument with a man known as ''Pike"
at 3O48 Lake Park avenue, l o'clock
Sunday morning. His death was
marked as unusual because he. was
shot in the arm. He expired IN the
Michael Reese hospital. 'Pike,"
whose other name officers believe i
Luther Mitchell escaped the police
net which was spread over the di-
strict Immediately after the shooting
was reported.
Argue Over Money
Mollie Young, Rose Young, Har-
vey Potts and Granville Jackson
were all taken to the station and
questioned. Very little of the details
of the shooting was obtained be-
cause of the fact that the two men
were said to have conducted more
or less private argument.
However, as it continued, 1T grew
more heated and finally The entire
little basement fiat was in turmoil.
Some mention was made of money,
witnesses said, but not fully stated.
Rescued In Street
The fact that Thomas was rescued
in front Of 3010 Ellis avenue, bears
out the conjecture that vicious bat
tie was waged by The two men.
Thomas had determined evidently to
give chase to his adversary but fell
exhausted from the effects Of his
wound.
1t was from here that he was
rushed to the Michael Reese hos
pital. BY the time he arrived there
he had suffered a great loss Of
blood. but not to the extent that
would cause an alarm. He died a
short while after, however.
Search For Slayer
Meanwhile the police Of the Cot
tage Grover station are making a
thorough search Of the district for
"Pike" who is we'll known. The the
ory Of the police is that he is still in
hiding, being harbored in a rendez-
vous Of one of his friends. It j. only
matter Of time they say until he
is captured.

The authorities are slowly piecing
together the tale of the death farm

land just two miles from the heart OF
this city. The investigators found an

youth. it will be remembered, dlSap-

had testified in the trial of a CaucaS-

John Peck, a victim, reported to the
authorities Saturday morning that he

Then came the arrest of three men

and Will Burkes, an employee. Mean
while the police are keeping vigil at
the farm in an. effort to get more wit

at police headquarters and at the coun

1t is not known definitely whether
the search for more bodies will be ex-
tended or not. 1t is apparent that
much time is being devoted in obtain

Perjury, Released on Thou
sand Dollar Bond

Preliminary hearing for w. H.
Ordway, Mandan, arrested Saturday
on a perjury charge, will be held at
Fort Yates at 10 o'clock, June II, 1t
was said today by c. F. kclsch, Ord
ways counsel.
Ordway was charged with perjury
Saturday morning and went to Fort
Yates the same afternoon for his
hearing. Because the state was not
vet ready to present its case. the
hearing was postponed. Bond was
set at $1,000, which was furnished.
The perjury charge was based on
two affidavits signed by Ordway. In
one, when the county commissioners
of Sioux county launched suit to re-
cover on a personal bond given for
IS. 900 in deposits held in the closed
Selfridge State ank, Ordway said he
was citizen of Morton county and
on that basis secured q change OF
venue to Mandan.
In the second. when taxpayers OF
Sioux county petitioned for the re-
moval of r. b. Mcdonald and Harry
Gcffcrt, county commissioners. Ord
way signed the petition and gave his
residence as Sioux county.
Defense counsel claims that the
perjury charge is not sufficiently
we'll founded to be upheld.
