Dynamited Mountain Home Near Shangri La Coast Line
A partially built bungalow style residence two miles south of the Shangri La retreat of President Truman in the Catoctin mountains was dynamited last Friday night or Saturday morning. Robert Brown, employed in Hagerstown, owned the home. Three blasts of dynamite damaged about three fourths of the construction, causing several hundred dollars in damage. Authorities say the act is not an accident and investigations by county officers and State Police continue with no clues to the perpetrators. The summer White House location is deemed unrelated.
