Rev. Peter had caused the arrest of the saloon keeper at Lapaz on a charge of keeping open on Sunday. selling to minors and otherwise violating the law. Saturday night dynamite was placed under the corner of the house while the Rev. Peter was away, and the house was badly shattered by the exposition. His wife and child almost died of the shock and fright. Mr. Peter had left Saturday for another place to preach on Sunday and his family was alone and unprotected. great indignation followed the dastardly attempt and some sensational disclosures are expected when the grand jury meets.
Rev. M.L. Peters is not a prohibitionist, but believes in the observance of the law. He is a minister of the Lutheran Church, a young man of more than ordinary ability and force of character. He graduated at Roanoke, Va., and has a theological education.
