Mystery surrounds the .explosion of two dynamite bombs which were set off at 9:30 Monday night of last week at the plant of the North Shore Material company on Oak Spring road in Libertyville in the eastern part of the village, badly damaging a steam shovel and missiiig the destruction of a big material crane because the night watchman had sufficient presence of mind to hurl the bomb with its sputtering fuse out of the inside of the machine before it exploded. Norman Burnett, the watchman discovered the first of the two bombs when he mounted to the fireroom of the crane about 9:30 to look at the fire under the boiler,which is kept burning all night. He noticed the lighted fuse and tlw bundle of dynamite sticks wrapped to-, gether and placed in a spot where the most damage possible would be caustd by the explosion. Burnett seized the dynamite and, hurling it into a gravel band at the side of the machine. As he was calling, the manager of the plant the first bomb exploded and thi« was followed by a second detonation, both shots rocking the houses for a distance of a half mile from the scene. It was found that the first bomb thrown from the machttie by the watchman, had caused little damage beside partially wrecking a toolfious? nearby. The second, however had blown the interior out of the steam shovel in which it had been planted. Windows in the office were shattered and the wreckage of the steam she**, el was scattered about the place. ^ jrr1:" •. .* • •-.r 1, > ; ; v \ :. » V ' - ' 3 v< j*i ' > ' ' j ' ' f v • - IN s \. .£v. • >\r-.
