 During this time there was considerable animosity throughout the city which culminated in threats to elected officials and a bomb threat on Calgary City Hall in March 1922.This culminated in the morning of March 28, 1922 with a prank orchestrated by Calgary Herald writer Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, where he threw a fake bomb into an active meeting attended by Adams, other Aldermen and city employees.Everyone in attendance rushed out of the meeting, and Commissioner Smith jumped through the closed window 12 feet above the ground.
