CRtfTWASTOCROSSCONTINEIT DYNAMITE ATTEMPT HT EUGENE A can of high explosive powder sufficient to wreck the $10,000 prune dryer plant of L. N. Miller, of the Elmira road, was found in one of the stoves in the dryer by workmen to day. Only the fact that the plant wa* being overhauled saved its total des truction and the probable lose of sev eral lives. Mr. Miller declares, as the heavy white powder charge was hid den far back in one of the stoves. Who placed the deadly charge In the stove is a mystery. The can was found by L. C. Miller. aA uncle of the owner, about 10 o'clock this morning as he was clean ing out the stove and pipes that fur nish heat for the dryer. It was placed about 10 feet from the fuel door and in such a position that it would not have been discovered if it had not been that the stove was be ing cleaned. Mr. Miller reports. The Miller prune dryer woull have started soon, and a force of a dozen people would be working around the plant at times. The per son who placed the charge evidently expected it to go off and blow up the plant when the fires were first built in the stoves.—Eugene Guard.
