Dynamite Panic in Henry Over Pond Findings
Residents of Henry were rattled by discovery of 66 sticks of dynamite in the lock pond near the Banter ice house last week. Caps to trigger explosions and a subsequent 84 additional sticks found by Adam Brown intensified fears of German agents and a possible blast. Detective-sergeant from Chicago and Mayor Pace investigated with Clyde Banter, who admitted old dynamite was used to blow a bank near the ice house, but the scare dissolved as the explosives remained intact after ten years in water.
