KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., May 11. - (UP) — Two
sticks of dynamite placed on the window sill at the home
of District Attorney E. L, Elliott exploded shortly after
midnight this morning, awakening the entire town. Jack,
lfi-yearxdd son of the d&trict attorney, suffered minor
cuts on the hand. He was sleeping in the room where
the charge was placed. *
Mr. and Mrs. Elliott were sleeping in another part
of the house but had occupied the dynamited room until
a short time ago. .
- Officers think it was the work of some demented man
as Elliott had received no threats although he had been
active against liquor law violators. The room was wreck­
ed and it was considered a miracle that no one was ser­
iously injured.
