DYNAMITE FOR WELLS
Home of Former Adjutant General
of Colorado Blown Up.
HAS A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

though Hurled Some Distance in
the Wreckage-Had Been a Leader
in Suppressine Labor Troubles.
Telluride Colo, March 30.-Former
Adjutant General Bulkeley Wells mar
rowly escaped death or serious injury
at his home here from a we'll planned
effort to assassinate him with dyna-
mite.
Despite precautions against such an
attempt, as patrols and arc lights
about the house. a stick of dynamite
or a prepared bomb was placed under
or near General Wells bed.
General Wells was sleeping, as was
his habit, on an outer porch of the
house and he was hurled with the
debris many feet from the wrecked
house
The side of the house was torn
completely out, hardly a stick of the
bed remained and fragments of wood
were scattered over the neighborhood.

to some extent General Wells escaped
without serious injury.
General Wells took leading part
in the suppression of labor troubles
in this state in 1904-5 and was prom
inently identified with the recent
prosecution of Off of the Western
Federation OF Miners at Boise on the
charge of completely in the assassina-
tion of former Governor Frank Steun-

Wells Now Mine Manager.
Mr.. Wells is general manager of the
Smuggler Union mine and his home,
where the explosion occurred, is To-
Gated on that property, at Pandora,
several miles from town.
The general appeared in town fol-
lowing the explosion with his head
bandaged, but otherwise apparently
none the worse for his experience.
One suspect has been arrested and
is held In the city Jail pending thor
ough investigation relative to his al
legged connection with the explosion.
The entire city and county police
forces are working on the case and
more arrests were expected.
That Wells had most miraculous
escape Is evidenced by the damage
done to the room and its contents.
Every window was blown out, huge
hole was torn in the floor, plaster was
! Jared from the ceiling and side walls
and nearly every window light in the
house was cracked. The wire springs
of the couch ON which the general
slept were twisted and broken.
General Wells predecessor as man
ager of the Smuggler Union mine,
Arthur l.. Collins, an Englishman,
was shot to death at Pandora several
years ago. Steve Adams, the alleged
| |accomplice of Harry Orchard, the muir
Iderer of Ex-Governor Steunenberg of
Idaho, is now in jail at Telluride
awaiting trial for that crime.

BOMB FOR THE POLICE
Meeting Of New York Unemployed
Ends in Dynamite Outrage.
OFFICERS ESCAPE DEATH

Deadly Missile is Hurled at Them, but
Only Participants and Spectators
Suffer, Two Being Killed and Num-
ber Injured.
New York, March 30-Two men
were killed and number of persons
injured when what had been a fairly
peaceable meeting of unemployed de-
veloped into an anarchistic demon
stration and a bomb was thrown and
exploded. A crowd, numbering prob
ably 10000 persons, gathered in I'm
ion square to take part in a meeting.
There were many women in the gath
ering and several speakers of local
prominence had been announced to
make addresses. A force of $50 po-
licemen, most of them mounted, were
on duty In the square to maintain or
der. AS the big crowd ass embed it
was noticed that there were numerous
red flags to be seen and that num-
ber of the persons wore red hats. At
some signs of disorder the police
started to dispense those who were
responsible for the disturbances and
drove many of the men and women
into the side streets around the
square. Little or no resistance was
offered and the square was almost
cleared of the throng. One of the men
engaged in the demonstration rushed
swiftly into the square and threw a
bomb, which landed near the Union
square fountain, in the rear of which
squad of policemen had been sta
toned.
Two Dead; Several Injured.
There was cloud of smoke and a
loud report and number of persons
were seen to fall. The police reported
that two men had been killed and
several others injured. The crowd
now composed of sightseers as well as
those who had taken part in the meet
ing of the unemployed, were panic
stricken and fled rapidly.
Selig Silverstein, about thirty years
old, who lived in Brooklyn, is accused
by the police of having thrown the
bomb He was taken to Bellevue hos
pital in dying condition.
Silversteins right hand was blown
off and one leg was almost severed
from the body. The name of one of
the dead men was Irwin Rassky.
Immediately following the explosion
the police began to round up and ar
rest as many as possible of those i'm
mediately within the neighborhood of
the explosion. One of the patrol wag-
ons, which had come filled with police,
was promptly loaded with suspects
and driven back to the new West
Twentieth street station house.

There was one addition to the home
ward bound party who must not be
forgotten. This was manservant,
with a withered arm, who grew gray
and ultimately died in Thomas Erich
sens service. His was the second
death among those passengers Of the
Florentia whose fate concerns this
chronicle. Lady Starkie was the first
to go. Nicholas Harding followed in
the same year as his namesake Of all
the Russias. The next and last-it
seems but the other day-was Claire,
his daughter. loving and beloved
wife and Il mother whose children
miss and mourn her daily. though most
Of them have children of their own.
But a little while ago this story
might have left them still together
the bent old man with the thoughtful
eye and many wrinkles-the white
haired. sweet faced motherly woman
Yet then their story had not been told,
for there Is that In 1t which Thomas
Erichsen never would tell his wife. He
never told how they tried to cut his
heart out with the lash. He never
told her how nearly they succeeded
And still, when he thinks Of that, is he
grateful to the long dead maniac to
whom he owed SO various n debt.
1t Is the old mans pleasure to hear
and read OF the noble colony sprung
miraculously from the cruel dust and
ashes Of sixty years ago. He has new
