st. Louis, Aug. 11.-A black hand
bomb exploded in the crowded Italian
colony on "Dago hill" here last night,
killing Mrs. Joseph Sardello and a
man believed to be her husband. and
more or less seriously injured four
teen other residents of the two story
brick building which was completely
wrecked. The placing Of the bomb
followed the receipt last Friday and
Saturday of two black hand letters by
the owner of the building. The let
ters came from Brooklyn where the
owner, Tony Romano, resided until
several months ago.
The explosion, which was the most
terrific and destructive of the kind
ever known in st. Louis, occurred
about 1 o'clock when the families
were asleep. So great was its force
that most of the residents were
thrown from their beds into the street
or buried under the wreckage.
Immediately after the explosion the
debris caught fire and it was with diff
ficulty that the rescuers were enabled
to take some Of those injured out of
the way of the flames.
According to the police the bomb
had been placed in the front entrance
of the building. Its explosion lifted
the structure from its foundation and
within few moments. aided by the
fire, it was complete ruin.
The unidentified man is supposed
by the police to have placed the bomb
in the building occupied by Romani.
His body was horribly mutilated.
The residents of the district said they
had never seen him before.
Closely Guarded.

make additional arrests before night.
A search is being made for the wom-

ALAS! TIE POOR DUCHESS
She Thought Wealthy Couple Were
Making Sport of Her Wedding
Present.

Recently. when the wealthy Mile. de
r. vac to be married. one of our good
duchesses had to make her present.
Just a little present. The duchess
thought it would be useless to expend
much money for 8 person so rich. She
thought If she would look through her
vast mansion she would be able to find
something, some trinket. to which the
addition of her card would give saffi-
cient glory. She finally found in her
writing desk an Insignificant cameo
that she had once worn.
The following day she received from
her young friend letter OF enthusi-
astic thanks: "Oh, you have teen very
foolish! This is too. too beautiful"
ETC.
She is making sport of my little
present" thought the good duchess.
Then came second letter. this time
from the husband who was to be:
How can we thank you? We are de-
lighted This will spoil u.s.

duchess, 'he wants me to understand
that | have been niggardly."
Nevertheless she went to pay visit
to the RS before the marriage. There

were guilty of the crime were so anx-

listened intently, asking few ques-

looked up, conscious that dawn was
becoming gray in the east. Keith's

him, and he scarcely knew what to

her.

he said finally, anxious to break the
silence, for she had not spoken since
he ended his tale. 1T will not be
