BOGUS BOMB.
An Echo of the Recent Tragedy mt
GeddeS.

Geddes, May 8.-A dummy five
inch bomb. attached TO some partial
ly burnt dynamite fuse, but contain
ing no explosives, was discovered
yesterday morning under the bed
room window of Ambrose b. Beck.
states attorney of this county. The
individual who left the bomb over
ed his tracks with cayenne pepper,
for the evident purpose of preventing
the use of bloodhounds on his trail
The detectives who are still work
ing on the recent murder of w. Fl.
MenZie and Miss Blanche Signal be-
lieve that the placing of the bomb
may have been merely the work of
local hoodlums, incensed at the con
tinued activity of Mr.. Beck in inves-
tigation of the double murder. The
states attorney has encountered con
siderable local opposition to follow
ing up the case, on account of the
belief held by many that Menzie kill
the young woman.
Local officials and the outside de
tectives are giving attention to the
bomb episode and they expect to
make some arrests.

Washington. May 8.-one American
and two British subjects have been
killed In mines in the vicinity OF
Guadalajara. A Mr.. Ransdell, pre-
sumably a British subject, and seven
Americans are cut off by bandits In
the vicinity. This information came
in a dispatch from the British vice
consul at Guadalajara to the British
embassy.
The dispatch to the British embassy
was sent In response to an inquiry
about conditions at the Cinco Minas
mine and the safety of Americans
there. 1t reads:
Bullion buried. Concentrates stored
Both safe. Americans all safe. One
American and two British killed at
other mines In Jalisco. All mines shut
down completely. Ransdell and seven
Americans cut of by bandits at Mas
Gotta and H~uachinango. Only fifteen
Americans In Jalisco."
Rumors From Tampico.
DisQuieting news also was received
at the embassy from Tampico. Both
federals and Constitutionalists threat
ened to interfere with the British and
American oil operators who were re
turning to the oil districts to resum
operations under the promise Of pro
lection from both sides.
The Mexicans have notified the
British commander that no one will be
allowed to land unless all warships
are withdrawn. Instructions have
been sent to the returning operatives
not to attempt a landing at any port
unless instructed by the British com
mander on the spot.

~ VERY grown brother and sister OF

to "a bed. a chair. table and q
candlestick," but to q space for them.
no matter how small. tnat belong to
himself or herself-"the little room"
to which he or she can go for the
solace, the refreshment Of solitude and
silence. where the door can be fully
closed to everyone else.
A home is a shelter to hide in from
the provoking of all men. and nobody
ones own family, the family that we
love. There are little times when one
is imperatively better OF without su-
pervision, without care, without no.
tice.
A woman said to me not long ago
she was rooming perforce with her
grown-up niece: IL am growing rap
idly insane for lack of some place Of
my own, where for at least an hour Of
the day l might be able to sit down
or stand up or brush my hair or pull
the blind without Ada's speaking about
1t. l would be glad of a corner barred
on from the world where ! could kick
my feet or scream, It I pleased, with
out its being Of the slightest interest
to anybody"
She didn't realize in her own nerv-
GUS irritation that Ada's .ncessant at
tention came from nervous irritation
also. Even if people apparently do
not mind living in q continued state
Of gregariousness 1t has its own dis
astrous effect on them. They become
excited. inconseQuent, overstrafned.
I once knew of q large and hospita-
BILE family who went through . long
season Of overcrowding with beloved
and desired company, with most dis
astrous and health disabling results
afterwards that dragged through q
whole winter.
When they tried sensibly to ferret
out the exact cause Of this general
breakdown 1t was found not in the
scarcity Of servants at the time,
which caused the brunt Of all the
extra work to fall uron the women Of
the family. but in the continued shar-
ing Of somebody's room. Of not having
