Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 24. - A dastardly attempt was made on Samuel Carson's life in Ross township by blowing him up with dynamite. Carson is worth $200,000, and nis family lives m Galesburg. He offers $500 reward for the arrest of the guilty man. Carson escaped without serious injury, but portions of the house were comoletely wrecked. The dynamite stick was placed on a bank of du-t four feet from Carson's head, where he slept, and a fortyfive foot fuse run to it. The explosión was terriflc, and that Mr. Carson's life was spared was due to the fact that he was lying on two heavy feather beds, with lus head resting on two large feather pillows and the additional fact that the door leading from his bedroom was open.
