District Attorney Seeks Circumstantial Chain Against Wood
Jowton May 23. District Attorney Pelletier said he will build a chain of circumstantial evidence to connect William Wood to a conspiracy to plant dynamite in Lawrence. Testimony from woolen trust employees and others identifies checks and receipts bearing Wood’s signature or approval. Intercepted payments show Atteaux as the payee, with a $505 check approved by Wood and a $2100 voucher also approved by Wood. The case hinges on whether these payments relate to expenses for the Lawrence strike.

Wild Horse Road Opened Through Wild Horse Cut
The new road through the Wild Horse cut was formally opened to traffic this afternoon. W M Blakely, a pioneer farmer now retired, was chosen by County Judge J W Maloney to be the first to pass through in a vehicle. The work completed weeks ago but macadamizing finished yesterday, enabling traffic. Blakely, long associated with the road, settled at Eastland 45 years ago and rode the route when it was a rough stage-coach point. He now drove a six-cylinder automobile as Judge Maloney and engineer C H Martin led the procession. Afterward all vehicles could shorten their route by passing through the cut instead of climbing the hill, ending a long-standing complaint.
