BOMB IN POLICE YARD.
STATION BADLY DAMAGED. MELBOURNE, May 27. Last night an unoccupied police station at Ivanhoe was badly damaged by a bomb thrown over the fence into the yard. The police believe that the motive was a desire to kill a ferocious bloodhound which recently played a prominent part in the capture of night prowlers. The bomb landed on the garden path, in which it blew a large hole. A shed was wrecked, the windows of the station were shattered, and several houses in the vicinity were shaken. A brick from the shed was hurled into a nearby yard, narrowly missing a man’s head and smashing the steering wheel of a motor car.
