Show An Infernal machine In Chicago. Chicago, Jan 2. The infernal machine that a policeman took into the Hanson street station yesterday morning was subsequently taken and carefully dropped into the river from the Hanson Street bridge. The employes em-ployes of the Chicago, Burlington fc Quincy railroad office say that a boy left the machine ma-chine there about a week ago and that since that it has passed from room t room, until night before last, when an operator, who guessed its nature, handed it to a policeman. It weighed about three-quarters of a pound, was cylinderioal in form, and was sealed at both ends'. A' small wire protruded about half an inch from one end of the machine. Buckley did not like the machine's appear-, anoe, and ordered it to be thrown into the river. One of the electricians of the Chicago, Chi-cago, Burlington & Quincy Railway called at the station last night and made inquiry regarding it. Upon learning "that it had been thrown into the river", he said .he would fish it out and take it to pieces. He was given the exact locality where it was thrown, and will try to findjt to-day. |
