DYNAMITE IN STOVE
FAILS TO EXPLODE
Columbia Man Crazed With Liquor
, Tries to Blow Up
Home
Special to The Telegraph
Columbia, Pa., March 31.—That
John Cooper and his family, who re
side in Manor Btreet, are still alive, is
due to the fact that a stick of dyna
mite which the father threw into the
stove did not explode: otherwise the
house would have been blown up as
the man said he wanted it to be when
he threw the explosive into the stove.
For some unaccountable reason the
dynamite flamed up a little and then
continued to burn like an ordinary
piece of wood.
Cooper arrived home in an intoxi
cated condition and beat his wife.
Not satisfied with that form of pun
ishment he decided to blow up the
house and threw the stick of dyna
mite into the stove. He was crazed
by liquor when he committed the act,
having been drinking heavily for
sonic time. Officers placed him un
der arrest and Justice J. F. Lutzl
committed him to jail fop a hearing
on several charges.
