The means that schaeffer threatened
to take in settling his &C.
count with Bodala was 10 blow

and prevailed upon two OF his countrymen
named George and Michael sherrick. to re

they should leave for San Francisco. on

SCENE OF the EXPLOSION.
Bodala had definitely set yesterday for
his departure, and It was hoped by
him that he would be able TO
get away without suffering any
injury from sehaeher, But he was grew
ously mistaken. Some time after midnight
Of Sunday, sohaetfer left his house with
box OF dynamite and placed II quietly I'M
der the dwelling Of Bodsla. IN order 20
make the attempt certain OF success he
cfawled on his hands and knees
under the house with the explosive.
Lighting his fuse he quickly retired
and at fA5 an explosion that awakened the
entire town took place. The house was
shiyered TO pieces, some of the pieces of
timber being blown as far as COO feet. The
windows In all the dwellings within 400
feet were shattered and many persons
were thrown from their beds. The entire
popalace was aroused and hurried to the
scene OF tho explosion.
