The matter has been taken under consideration by the club, although the demands of the promoter are such that there are small prospects that the indus- try can be located However, if investiga- ton discloses the enterprise to be very desirable one for this community a count CT proposition for its location will no doubt be made.

BOMB THROWERS
 DID NO DAMAGE

Fl Paso, Texas, March 16.-Col. NJ. Tamborel, military commander of Juarez, stated this morning that the bomb thrown into the military barracks last night did no damage and that nobody was cap tured. The shots of the sentries, he said, did not hit anybody
 J. A. McDaniels, an engineer of the Mexican Northwestern railroad, who arr rived today on hand car reported that the road is cut to pieces from Juarez south, but did not see Maderos army ported.
 Juarez spent a sleepless night The streets were patroled by double force of guards. Practically the entire gar rison was under arms in front of the barracks and the headquarters of Gen. eral Navarro and of Colonel Tamborel the commandant. At daybreak sleepy guards posted on tine house tops swept the country for signs of insurrectos but if they were in the vicinity they kep. well under cover.
 The coming of daylight materially les- sened the anxiety aroused by last night S attack upon the barracks, when a small band of insurrectos. who had managed to slip through the lines into the city, demolished portion of the barracks with bombs and effected their escape.
 The authorities persist in their declara. ton that the federal troops suffered no loss in killed and wounded and gave re- peated assurances that there was no cause for anxiety. Rusniess has been re- stunned and most of those who had planned to take refuge on the American side changed their minds today It is not thought the insurrectos are near the city in any great numbers, the small band under Capt. Oscar Creigh- ton, the American, being the only one re- ported at all close at hand Madero, witt, 1000 men, is farther south, where he is said to be waiting to effect juncturs with Orozco's force of 800, after which 1t is reported the insurrecto leader will begin march northward to the border

 The grand jury has returned an indict- ment against Bob Stiles for murder in the second degree for the killing of Ernest Birt at Crudup some weeks ago. The men became engaged in quarrel over a sister of MT. Birt, who was Stiles sweetheart, and Birt's interference so angered Stiles that he killed him.
 Fire this afternoon destroyed four tene- ment houses on Third avenue in this city. There was high wind blowing at the time and the whole block was in immi- nent danger The water pressure was low and for a time it looked as though the department would be unequal to deal with the situation. The household goods of the occupants of the buildings were practically all removed, and the loss is confined to the buildings. These were medium-sized houses and the loss is pretty well covered by insurance. The houses were the property of T. J. Woodliff and B. P. Little.

 Tennessee Fruit Crop Is Killed

Cleveland, March 16.-Seven lives have been lost and a fishing tug is at the bottom of Lake Erie as result of the gale that swept down over the lakes yesterday and is still raging on Lake Erie today.
 The Silver Spray of Erie Pa, oper- ated by the Booth Fisheries companies went down off Cleveland harbor last night after battling with the heavy seas for 20 hours. The last seen of her was at a. m. today when Captain Hanson of the life saving station sighted vessel a few miles out burn ing torches as signals of distress.
 This morning the tug Buckeye, pa- trolling the breakwater, sighted what is believed to have been the pilot house of the Silver Spray afloat in the lake off East Fortieth street. Two bodies, which Captain Cornelius believes be- long to members of the Silver Srapy's crew of seven, were lying on the break kwater It is impossible for the tug to get near enough to take off the bodies.
 A last message from the crew of the Silver Spray was found this aft 
 ernoon when a port hole cover was picked up on the lake shore. Written on it with a lead pencil was the fol- lowing:
 "Good-by, Hattie; we're going on the breakwater.
