DYNAMITEB BOMB ON THESAFE
Attempt to Blow Up Milford Mills
in Virginia.
Isaac Smith. a Negro, Suspected.
Stole Horse FROM the Barn and
Shoes From a Store.

Alexandria, Va, June 5-An attempt
was made last nj ght to blow up with dyna-
mite the large FIGURING mills. known as
Milford mills, near Bristoe station. about
thirty miles west OF Alexandra.
When Mr. Hartbaker, the proprietor, en-
tered the office OF the mills, at an early
hour this morning, he found a pair Of shoes
ard some clothing lying in the floor OF his
office. The appearance of the strange
garments aroused bis suspicion, ana he at
once began an invests CATION OF the prem
ises.
He Lad not proceeded far when he was
startled by the discovery of a suspicious
looking instrument attached To the top of
his iron safe. Upon close examination
It was found that the article was a dynA-
mite bomb A partly burned fuse hung
over the end of the safe, and in snme
manner lad become extin guished before
the high explosive had been ignited
further investigation OF the premises
revealed the fact that the stables adioin-
ing the mills had been robbed of a valuable
dark bay mare, which was used by the
burglar to make good his escape, after his
unsuccessful attempt to blow open the
safe The horse is 10 12 hands high,
weighs 1,10O pounds, has a scar on the
left front foot. cork shoes on hind feet,
and old shoes on front feet.
From the shoes and clothing found in the
building, Isaac Smith, Colored, is suspected
of the crime, and posse OF citizens OF
Prince William is securing the surrounding
country for him
1t is thought that the negro, after en-
tering the MILL placed the explosive on
the safe, igntted the fuse and retired
short distance from the building to await
the result He was evidently afraid to re
euter the mill, and, becoming frightened.
secured horse from the stable and made
his es cape.
1t is believed that the negro made his
way toward Bull Run Postoffice, broke
into a store at that place and secured sew
eral pairs OF shoes, some clothing and gro
cCrIes. The latter robbery was discovered
about daybreak, and when the facts in COR
nection with the attempt to blow up the
safe IN the mill, and the stealing OF the
horse became known, suspicion ut once
pointed to Smith as being guilty OF the
latter robbery.
