DENVER TERRIFED BY SXBOMBIGS Cause Panic in"North Area and Two Suburbs. By the Assdclated Press. DENVER, ‘Colo., September 29.—The explosion of & group of bombs, one of which endangered the lives of 50 chil- dren in a church school, occupled the‘ sattention of police here today. Six bombs In all were fired within & few hours of éach other last night, re- sulting in the destruction of one home and a general panic in North Denver and two suburbs,” The first three did no damage. Police opiginally ascribed the first re- ported -explosior; in Valverde, to small boys, but .abandoned this theory sfter at Church;in North Denver. Fifty members of a church school club dashed terrified from the bullding. The blast stopped the motion picture machipe {n the Oriental Theater, across the street, and hundreds of ater patrons rushed for exits. Mrs, Mary Jackson, who lives near the chireh, told police she saw a “stout man' leatve @ car, walk up an alley be- hind fhe ehurch sehool and run out later,a second hefore the explosion. A few minutes later a bomb blast rocked a neighborhood a few blocks distant; shattering windows and knock- ing goods fram stcre shelves for several blocks ardund. Polite were investigating these ex- plosions when a fourth blast wrecked and set fire to a house owned by Cus- ter Rand in Barnum, another suburb. Rand, who lived next door, could not be found night. After the bombing of Rand's house, police and firemen learned of two other explosions in the sparsely settled sub- urb earlier iny the evening which made ‘s great noise but did.no damage. Thousands of persons stayed in the streets. until ‘daylight today, afraid to return to their homes, Police reserves were held in all stations and firemen on Jeave were recalled to duty as the city hunted vainly for the bomb throwers. ‘ THE ATHER | District of Columbia—Fair and con- tinued cool tonight; tomorrow fair, with rising temperature; gentle northly winds becoming variable.
