The first explosion occurred In front ~

ran out. and women shouted that two men
on a roof opposite the dance hall had
thrown a bomb. Several special policemen
and soldiers who were IN the hall, ran into
the building where the men were supposed
to be. and two more bombs were hurled at
them as they got into the court. The first
bomb blew Francisco Sonora to pieces. The
second wounded his companions. The two
bomb throwers escaped.
II is the theory OF the federal officers that
the bomb throwers were making their way
across the tops of roofs 10 hurI their mis-.
siles against the walls Of the state prison.
which is in the same block. and that they
dropped a bomb by accident.
The city jail rapidly filed with prisoners

were held as witnesses until Mayor Mar

During the day soldiers filed the streets
and the town bristled with the military ss
much as on occasions when the rebels were
