FOUND DYNAMITE IN BUILER,
; i The Bubbs Made a Discovery that Thwart.
| od a Fiend's Desire for Revenge,
i
| The discovery of three sticks of
(dynamite, located in the top flue of &
| boiler, with a capped fuse hanging just
above the fire box, thwarted the desire
for revenge of some flend. This dis
covery was made on Friday ir the
boiler at Bubb & Son's saw mill above
Colyer, and its discovery, before the
boiler was fired, was quite accidental
Constable Frazier went to the Bublh
mill for lumber, and seeing Elmer Me-
Clellsn nearby making fence, called
him and bis hired man to the mill,
For some reason Mr, McOlellan’s as-
glstant opened the fire box, and there
di covered the conditions degeribed
above Had the boiler been fired
without removing the dynamite, there
would have been a terrific explosion,
and possibly cost the life of one or
more persons. The cause undoubtedly
would have been attributed to a defec-
tive boiler instead of to the act of a
revengeful enemy.
