Tbe thimble of a wagon wheel was
filled with giant powder ann placed
under the corner of the building. Be

powder the thimble turnej over and
rolled a little to one side.

ance was that only the poicb ef the
hotel was blown to smithereens. '
Some of the boards were hurled 150
feet skyward, leaving do doubt that
