that was destroyed with all its occupants next it was a church a schoolhouse school heuse a factory the gasworks etc finally it was lea learned rael that a distillery was the scene ot of jahe e V GREAT EXPLOSION j this seemed unaccountable because beer whisky and anarchism are interchangeable hangea blet terms why anarchists should blow up their own favored inspiration is baat waat surprised most people distillery is situated near chicago avenue and the north branch of the river it is close to the gab gaa works there are several blumoer yards and two or three large coal I 1 yards in its immediate neighborhood the dynamite was exploded on the roof of the distillery directly over gallons of whisky and high wines from this it will be conceived whytt a dreadful calamity chicago haaf ad barely escaped the anarchists are not charged wital this last outrage the managers of the distillery attribute it to the be whisky trust it the charges can de be sustained it is practical proof of what president cleveland said in his last message about the communism or of aagre gated capital in these latter daas the charge against the whisky may perhaps not be su sustained in a law court but it if all the facts were fully fally known they would leave the trust in a very tattered condition distillery has never abne into t abb great whisky monopoly of the mississippi valley it won wont t go in the result Is that the trust is fighting tooth and nall nail to crush it or force it into the trust one of the means adopted by the trust was to ascertain the names of the patrons then offer to sell whisky to these 40 or 60 50 per cent cheaper than Shu falt the trust employed aloyed a detective agency to find out Sha hutel felts ts customers shadows followed the distillery wagons to the depot med ot and when the barrels were unloaded the detective took the jid d dresses of the barrels bat this could not be done except in isolated cases it was found that most of Sha felts ta whisky was going over the illinois central railroad and into the keart heart of the trusts territory then the detective too thought light of striking a grand plan he resolved to BUY UP A he sought one in ina a bui bumble lible capacity a watchman or car seater sealer or some each poor devil this employed was offered a salary ot of 25 per week for one year provided he would undertake to give the destination of the cart loaded with the whisky and as many of the consignees consig nees names as possible this was wa a poser for poor pat murphy here was 1200 dollars for an apparently innocent and worle work poor pat thought over the matter a day or two and finally concluded to inform his own superior officers lynch the manager of shu felts was informed of the matter then a watch was kept by the distillery teamsters I 1 and they f found fund that a detective was every wagon this led jed to breaking up vie the shadow ilg i t I 1 he fie next nex attempt was to pet get a detective into the employ of the
