Against Kim for Blowing up a Eeu
reka Springs Hotel.
Eureka Springs, Nov. 10. —The
preliminary trial of Dan Barber,
charged with an attempt to blow
up the eight-story Basin Park
Hotel here, was held today. |
The magistrate, after hearing j
the evidence on the part of the
state, dismissed the defendant, i
rhe charge was that, in revenge;
for having been discharged, he ■
had arranged to have the boilers!
in the engine-room of the hotel ■
to explode. An explosion was j
larrowly averted by the pres
ence of an expert machinist j
wnong the guests. The statutes
)f this state are of doubtful effi
cacy in covering such an offense.
The testimony of the expert,
a. H. Cooper of Springfield, Mo.,
vho was sent for to testify,
;ended to show that the tamper
ng with the valves might have

;he impending explosion, while
>ther evidence showed that the
lefendant had not been about
;he boilers for over three hours
>efore that time. The verdict j
vas a great surprise, and has oc
:asioned a great deal of eom
nent.
