IRON ORE PLANT DYNAMITED 
BANDITS WRECK NEW MILLION DOLLAR STRUCTURE OF ERIE RAILROAD AT RANDALL. 
CLEVELAND, OHIO, March 25. - Unknown vandals tonight dynamited the new iron 
 ore handling plant of the Erie Railroad at North Randall, a suburb of 
Cleveland.  The dynamite was used on the ore bridge of the plant, which was 
destroyed with  an estimated loss of $300,000. The plant was only recently 
completed at a cost  it is said of about $1,000,000, and had been in operation 
only a few days. 
There is no clue to the miscreants and General Superintendent H. G. Dunkle, 
 of this division of the Erie, says that blood hounds will be used in 
trying to  run them down.
