phoned to Rawlings several days ago
saying he would reach the ranch that
night and kidnap Mrs. Rawlings. The
ranchman awaited his arrival with
loaded guns during the night but he
failed to appear
Rawlings and his two children came
here Friday and while. they were away

Mrs. Rawlings to accompany him. A
brother Of Rawlings formed posse and
took up the pursuit, but twice when

Two Are Injured by
Explosion Of Bomb
Sent to Postmaster

. GREENSBORO, N. c., Aug, u.-William
Busbee, manager Of the High Point office
Of the Southern Express company, was
perhaps fatally injured and his cashier,
l.. o. Morton. badly hurt today when a
package which they were handling ex-
ploded with terrific force. The package,
which was about TO be consigned to tho
junk heap. proved to be an internal ma
chine of rather crude, though ingenious
construction. - ...,.a
The package Is described as an ordinary
looking box of thin veneer. branzed with
copper, fifteen inches square and set IN
side a heavy green painted wooden box.
To the inner box small door was at
tached, this being secured by a leather
hinge. When the expressmen opened the
inner door side match was ignited, this
lighting fuse which set off the ex-
plosve ~ .p ,s.
The package had been In the office for
Charles Hoover, High Point, N. c., and
was shipped from Thomasville, about
eight miles distant. No one by that name
could be found in High Point, SO today
Manager Busbee undertook to examine
the queer package.
At Thomasville, however, Charles
Hoover is Postmaster, manufacturer
and influential In politics. The theory Of
the police Is that the sender at Thomas
vile believed the packet would be re-
turned to Thomasville from High Point
and ultimately delivered to Mr.. Hoover.
An arrest is expected mpmentarily.

before by rebels. The jefe politico was
powerless to resist the attack and in re-
taliation ordered the slaughter. profess
ing to believe that in killing the people
he was Furnishing the rebels. The butch
cry began in the jail, where all the pris-
oners were killed by the guards. Then
citizens were butchered. The people be-
came SO terror stricken they refused to
discuss it and for this reason it was not
called to the attention Of the federal
authorities until today
The minister of interior declared the
slaughter the most atrocious in the his
tory of the republic and will be severely
punished"
General Pascual Orozco, rebel leader.
President Madero came to this conclusion
today and 1t was based principally upon
reports he received from government
agents at Ell Paso. He made his views
known in an official statement issued by
the Department of the Interior by his
authorization.
Practically all hope Of negotiating peace
terms with the rebels now has been
abandoned by the government.
Rafel Hernandez, minister Of TO-
mento, who conducted negotiations with
Orozco, near Ell Paso, has gone to lower
California to study irrigation conditions.
1t is understood here that government
agents at Ell Paso reported that Senator
Fall played more than passive part In
frightening Orozoo off.
Just what action was taken the govern
ment does not pretend to know, but 1t is
intimated he might have communicated
directly with Orozco sentiments expressed
in his recent speech in the senate on the
Mexican situation.
