BOMB THROWER
UNDER ARREST
t
Chicago, Sept. 19.?A confession J
that he had planted and exploded \
more than CO bombs during the last j
year was ^obtained, according to the'
police, from William G. Smith, one of
five men arrested today in the act of
bombing the shoe repair shop of Davis ;
Krernen.
Fourteen hundred sticks of dyna- j
mite and 100 sticks of TNT, said by |
Chief of Detectives Hughes to be suf- i
ficient to blow up much of the city of
Chicago, were seized by the police following
the capture of the men.
The bombing today was said to haveM
been the result of rivalry between tHefl
International Brotherhood of Shoen
Repairmen and the United Shoe Re- H
pairmen. Kremen is a member of the jjj
former organization. j
Police had received a tip that Kre^-n
men's place was to be bombed and had] j
surrounded it. The five men approach-ll
ed the shop, one of them carrying a IV
Iknnb. The police ordered them to tur- H
render. Instead Richard Burke, then
man carrying the bomb, hurled itM
and the explosion tore the front frpipH
the shop, threw Krempn and his fast- I
ily from their beds and broke windows j
for blocks around. <
In an attempt to escape, Burke was i
shot in the side. His companions sur- {
rendered. They are Smith, Michael i
Bench, John Bartu and Charles I
Young.
Burke is said to have told the police j
that he supplied bombs for several i
labor unions and * also the men to i
throw them. Police say he made a j
detailed statement of bomb outr&geajl
for the shoe repairmen's organism- K
tions. His salary wm set at $60 peijg
week, but he had not been able to col-R
lect it, he said. In the alleged con-14
fession Smith also declared Burke hadQ
conducted negotiations with a man it
named Lebinson, whom he knew as ? ?
ofiicial of the United Shoe Repair As^F
sociation of Illinois. Police
raided the office of the association of n
which Leo Levinson is treasurer andfj
eised books and records. None of theL
Officers of the association' were prea-L
ent at the time of the ryB- | \
Speeder Paid Fine of $15 |j
Sunday before last a man passedb

sped down Main street from the F"
, courthouse on^thj^road fcadirtg out tojj
; "M. L. Nichols," and 'phoned to Lao- \
rens, .^Spartanburg and other points :
asking the authorities to be on the
lookout and arrest the man. The chief 1
| Inter learned that the speeder was .
: from Greenwood, and wrote the au- J
ttyorities there to serve the warrant or
see that the fine of $15 was paid. This
it the fine usually put on for the first
offense. Chief Moseley this morning
received the check to pay the fine. \

the bowl was a picture of Maggie

Delicious salad and iced tea was

Much Interest In
Approaching Fair
Interest at the Ottaray mill is centering:
chiefly in the approaching Community
Fair, the date for which is set
far Saturday, October 1st. There is
every indication that the fair this year
will surpass, in bi^pess andLvariety the ..
one that was so successfully promoted
last year. There are more families living
in the community and there is the
additional advantage of having the
basis of experience, which was not the
case last year.
We are exceedingly fortunate in
having secured the services of committeemen
upon whom wo can absor
lutely depend for a thorough canvass
of the community for entries in their
respective lines of exhibit. The enthusiasm
and ability of the chairmen
and members of these committees insures
the success of the fair. The executive
committee is headed* by Mrs.
B. D. Fads. Chairmen of other committees
are as follows: Canned goods,
Mrs. R. J. Wilson; fancy work, Mrs.
J. A. Lowe; cooking, Mrs. J. A. Kirkpatrick;
flowers and pot plants, Mrs.
B. D. Fads; curios and relics, Mrs. G.
V. Hannah; gardens entries, W. L.
Charles; cows, L. G. Moss; poultry.
Fred Dodd; mill exhibit, I. B. Garner;
parade, W. O. Holiday; prizes, T. J.
Glenn.
The parade feature is expected to
prove a most interesting one, and the
attempt is being made to have every
car in the Ottaray villas decorated
and in the parade.
The public is cordially invited to attend
the fair and see what the Ottaray
village can and does produce.
Will Catch Weevils
Estill, Sept. 19.?Farmers here are
jubilant today because they no longer
fear the ravages of the mighty boll
weevil. Frank Buker, a young Jewish
merchant, left yesterday for
Washington to procure a patent on
a recent invention of his with which
he assures his friends that the boll
weevil will surely be put to rout.
From the meagre information re
ieaseu ny r ranK it seems mat nis machine
will be operated only during
the dark hours of the night and is
equipped with a light which, when the
weevil is disturbed from his peaceful
slumbers by a protecting piece of the
machine he will be attracted by the
