ing nc explosives, was discovered yes-
terday morning under the bed room
window OF Ambrose b. Beck. states
attorney Of this county. The individ-
ual who left the bomb covered his
tracks with cayenne pepper, for the
evident purpose OF preventing the use
of b~loodh0unds on his trail.
The detectives who are still working
on the recent murder Of w. I'll. MenEie
and Miss Blanche Signal believe that
the placing of the bomb may have been
merely the work of local hoodlums, In
censed at the continued activity OF Mr..
Beck in investigation of the double
murder, The states attorney has en-
.countered considerable local opposition
to following up the case, on account of
the belief held by many that Menzie
killed himself and the young woman.
Local officials and the outside detec-
tives are giving attention to the bomb
episode and they expect to make some
arrests.

We mar the beauty n power of IL the
