DYNAMITE DESTROYS TRUCK.

Liquor War Believed to Be at Bottom Of Coalmont Explosion. Jasonville, Ind., July 17. —Although placed on the trail soon after the blowing up of an auto truck belonging to Hawkins & Wambaiigh, of Coalmont, bloodhounds failed to track the guilty parties. The dynamite charge was placed on the seat of the truck, the machine, valued at SI,OOO, demolished and the garage in which it was stored damaged to the extent of S2OO. A bitter liquor was has been on at Coalmont, where Hawkins & Warnbaugh are leaders for the “drys.” Coalmont voted “dry” at a recent local option election, but several attempts have been made recently to run “blind tigers,” and the owners of the auto have been opposing lawlessness.
