Chicago Postal Clerks' Discovery Is Being Investigated.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.— Clerks sorting mail in the Post Office to-day discovered which is believed to be a dynamite bomb wrapped in a package and addressed to a man whose identity was not disclosed.
The explosive was rolled up in heavy cardboard with both ends sealed with plaster of paris. A fuse to which a paper filled with matches was tied protruded from the centre or the roll. Detectives were detailed to trace the sender of the package.
