BOMB EXPLOSION
OUTRAGE NEAR MELBOURNE.
Melbourne, July 20.
For the second time in two months a bomb explosion occurred at Ivanhoe. A bomb was thrown into a lane 30yds from the police station. It wrecked the fence and a shed, and the windows of shops and houses in that vicinity were broken. Nobody was injured, however.
Further details show that Constable Tierney was writing in the Police Station when he was swept from his chair by the force of the explosion. A time fuse bomb was evidently used. No trace of the perpetrator was found.
The explosion occurred at exactly the same spot where on the night of May 26 a bomb was thrown into the police station yard. The damage is more extensive than was at first estimated. The premises -were damaged, the walls in several cases being blown out while others were badly cracked. —Australian Press Association.
