Hidden aims are hard to heal.
pulque Shops Of Mexico.

The government of the federal dis
trict is considering the most practical
and lawful way to remove the pulque
shops from the central part of the City
of Mexico.
The government has not given H.
censes to establish any new pulque
shops in the central section of the
city. and as soon as any Of the jul
querias are closed on account of the
end of the contract for rent or any
other cause. the government cancels
the license. But there are some of
those shops. the owners of which have
contracts for rent covering ten, fifteen
and twenty years. and some of them
are owners of the buildings occupied.
The government in this case can
not count on the ending Of the con-
tract to close the shops, and is con-
sidering another way to remove them
from that part of the city and still re-
spect the rights of the proprietors.-

DEADLY BOMB EXPLOSION.
Dynamite Concealed in Iron Pipe at
Pioneer Foundry in Victor.

FtOHCGT III NIStot'
Victor, Colo.-Without the slightest
intimation that he was to be the vic
tim of diabolical plot which might
have caused the death of a score, Os.
valid Schranz, a boy of seventeen. en-
ployed in the Pioneer foundry. met
instant death Saturday while in the
performance of his duties. by the ex
plosion of an Internal machine.
w. 8. Simpson, fellow employe
who was working beside him. was ia
tally injured at the same time and is
apparently in dying condition in the
hospital.
whether Schranz or Simpson had
been marked for death is not known.
but the coroner has gathered clews
which convince him that a murder
Gus plot was formed, and he is on the
trail of a man whom he believes was
guilty knowledge of 1t. even If he was
not the principal in it.
The fatal explosion occurred about
2 o'clock in the afternoon. The foun-
dry employees were engaged in raising
a heavy piece of casting by steam der
rick, when Schranz was told to pry
the casting around SO that 1t could be
lowered in the place desired.
He seized an old piece of iron pipe
and was forcing the casting into place
with blows when the pipe exploded.
The youth was instantly killed. His
breast and stomach were blown open
and his internal organs were scattered
over the foundry. Both hands were
blown of at the wrist.
Simpson escaped with his life. but
his recovery is doubtful. A piece of
the pipe was blown entirely through
his right shoulder. coming out at the
breast bone. and two ribs were cut In
two by another piece of the flying
iron. He also received severe con-
tusions of the scalp and body.
