The Hanover Post. says :—"During
noon hour Saturday some party• or
parties tampered with the two engines
in the,works of the hnechtel Furni-
ture Co., with the result that the
main engine could not be started up
for about an hour and the auxiliary
one m the north wing, from which
some of the parts were taken away
and could not be run until Monday.
Sappily the damage was noticed be-
fore attempting to start up, otherwise
a serious accident, dangerous to life,
might have followed. Undoubtedly
both engines would have gone to
piecesa wrecking both buildings in
which.•they stand and probably have
killed employees in the neighborhood.
The fnattpr is being quietly looked
into by our local detectives and the
guilty ones if discovered will be
prosecuted. A reward of $20.00 is
offered by. the 8r'm."
