D1MITERS III SI FRANCISCO Fiends Kill Four, Injure Many and Destroy Two Build I'gs. FOLICE BELIEVE IT IS WORK OF CRIMINAL. Grocery Store With Vpi Flnls and Adjoining Saloon Building Blown Up Boy Hurled Through Window and 50 Feet Out Into Uio Yard, En raping With Hit Life One Family Nearly Annihilated Windows Shat tered in Vicinity -Former Supervi sor James Gallagher Interested in l"roMTty Dcttiroyed Other Iroicr ty Owned by Him Dynamited. San Fanclsco, Cal., June 29. Four were killed and many Injured In a dy namite explosion destroying a grocery' store with upper 'flats, an adjoining saloon building, at Cheney and Dia mond streets, at 2:15 this morning. The dead are John Sweeney, a gro cer, his wife, Ella Sweeney, a daugh ter nged 9 years, baby daughter of B. S. Dlssemeyer, a year old. All lived over the store. The windows were shattered ln:the whole vicinity. The pollre believe the expllon was the work of criminals. It is thought that former Supervisor James Gallagher, whose property in other instances has been destroyed by uni dentified persons, was Interested in the tulldlng. The I '-year-old son of Sweeney was blown through a window, and 50 feet Into the yard. He was severely In jured. 1 The fronts of the grocery and sa loon buildings were blown out. A fire quickly followed the explo sion and the wrecks were partly con sumed before the firemen arrived. All the Injured and dead were taken out. There is little doubt that the ex plosion was the work of the dyna miters who twice blew up property belonging to Gallagher, who turned states evidence in the graft prosecu tion. The property blown up this morning was leased by Antone Diss-mej-er to T. J. Gallagher, brother of the former supervisor. District attorney Langdon today requested Chief Blggey to put the whole detective force at work on the latest dynamiting outrage. Assistant District Attorney Heney said: "This Is the most dastardly outrage yet perpetrated by the agents of graft." The police say the explosion was caused by gasoline and kerosene In the grocery.
