She drove him to the scene, and said the doors of the store had already been blown away when they arrived.

Pollard rushed into his grocery store. Mrs. Pollard said she then drove back home to dress, and that her husband must have been knocked down by a second blast. His sister, Jewel Pollard, was called to the hospital and said she heard several smaller explosions en route to the hospital. The victim's wite said the telephone operator had notified him that there was fire at Barrett's Cleaners, two doors east of Pollard's Grocery.

The fire was blazing inside the grocery store when they arrived, she indicated. The cause of the explosion was still a mystery in Cooper Tuesday morning.

Fireman Fielding said the fire appeared to be heaviest in the back of the Grand Theatre and the grocery store when he. arrived.

Pollard, the blast's only casualty, is Cooper's fire chief. But the Cooper Volunteer Fire Department worked under their assistant chief, Carl McMillan, to quickly and effectively keep the blaze from spreading. Sulphur Springs and Paris firemen then arrived to assist in controlling and extinguishing the fire. Sulphur Springs brought 10 to 12 firemen and one truck. Over from Paris were Fire Chief Miller Steed, Fire Marshal Earl Sherley, Engineer Shorty Hulen and one truck.

Grand Theatre was completely gutted by the fire. So was Pollard's Grocery. Both are located in a brick building on the north side of the Cooper square. The building is owned by W. C.

Ratliff, Henry Sparks operates the Grand Theatre, and Pollard the grocery store. Adjoining buildings were also damaged. J. F. Henslee Hardware and Cooper Butane Company located just west of the Grand, suffered water and smoke damage and glass breakage.

and Mrs. Edwin (Red)'Moore of Midwest City, he had stayed with a grandmother, Mrs. Alma Stewart, here last spring, while attending school. Report from Oklahoma City said the youth, with a group of other teenagers, was riding in a pickup truck, when he climbed onto its running board to talk to the driver. The latter lost control of the truck which overturned, crushing young Moore beneath it.

The family formerly lived here, his father having been employed by the old Dean Walker Motor Company and the Industrial Iron Works. Survivors include besides bis here. That possibility was under investigation: The blast occurred at the rear of the New Orleans Room, heavily damaging the establishment operated by William Hatchett, the school board president. No one was in the room at the time, and five or six patrons in an adjoining bar escaped injury. White children have been boycotting the Colp Grade School since the school board voted to consolidate the two segregated grade schools here at the start of the fall semester.

They have enrolled in nearby all white schools. Among those who held the view the bombing was prompted by something other than the integration dispute were Hatchett himself and Mayor Frank Caliper. "There is nothing at this time to point to the blast stemming from the integration dispute," said Lt. Earl Pogue, commander of the Illinois Stale Police District at DuQuoin. "There is one other matter that possibly could have a connection.

Both Negroes and white people frequent the tavern and there could have been some objection to that." Ora Collard, Williamson County deputy sheriff, estimated the night club was 50 per cent destroyed. The rear wall of the one-story cement block structure was blown out. Doors were ripped off and the ceiling was a shambles. Several windows in Hatchetl's home next door were shattered.
