BOMB AT POLICE STATION
SECOND RECENT EXPLOSION DAMAGE PROVES EXTENSIVE MAN HURLED FROM CHAIR By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Australian Press Association. Melbourne, July 20. For the second time in two months a bomb explosion has occurred at Ivanhoe. The bomb was thrown into a lane 30 yards from the police station. It wrecked a fence and a shed. The windows of a shop and houses in the vicinity were broken. Nobody was injured. 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 28, a bomb was thrown into the police station yard. The damage is more extensive than at first estimated. Premises were damaged and walls in several places blown out and others badly damaged.
