KILLED. ny noMHs IN MEXICO.

Francisco Sonora, z federal soldier
is dead and three men are wounded
as result OF the explosion OF three
bombs in Gale Diablo, in CIudad
Juarez, at midnight Saturday night.
Unless an attack was being planned
on the jail and was thwarted by a
bomb exploding prematurely the real
purpose Of the explosion is inexpll'

The first explosion occurred in front
of La Fsyo-ita dance hall, and the
revclers ran out. Women shouted
that two men on top of q roof opposite
the dance hall had thrown bomb.
Several special policemen and soldiers,
who were in the hall. ran into the
building where the meu were supposed
to be, and two more bombs were
hurled at them as they got into tho
court.
The first bomb blew Francisco Son
ora to pieces. The second wounded

Il is the theory Of the fede. Il officers
that the bomb-throwers were making
their way across the tops OF roofs to
hurl their missiles against the walls OF
the state prison. which is in the same
block, and that they dropped = bomb
by accident.
The city jail was rapidly filled with
prisoners between the time OF the ex-

All those in The dance hall and many
others in the street nearby were held as
witnesses until Major Martinez could
