Since 1920 he has been living
here in his old palatial mansion.
He still daily conducts a little
business at least. He still main
tains an office. and goes to and
from home daily. During the
seven years of his exile he lived
in Ell Paso, Texas, and Los An
geles. He was driven out by
Villas army, after the death of
one of his sons, who was captured
by Villa, and held in prison until
he died from exposure. His exile
began in 1918, and in 1920, Presi-
dent Obregon welcomed him back
to Mexico.
French Defeated
The generals first notable eX-
plot was in 1865 when he led a
force of MeXicans against Chihua-
hua City, which was then held by
the French under Macmillan.
Although greatly outnumbered
Terrazas's men took the city, and

No Arrests Yet Made in
Dynamiting Case at
Rivesville

Prosecuting Attorney Frank R.
Amos and Sheriff j. D. Charlton
today are making a rigid inyesti-
cation Of the dynamiting OF the,
two story frame building at Rives-
Vile occupied by John Bossl and
owned by the Riyesville Coal
company. The officers believe the
explosion to be the work Of black
handlers who sent a threatening
letter to Bossl about two weeks
ago. D
The explosion occurred while
a dance was in progress in a two
story brick building adjoining thg
frame structure and caused colH
siderable excitement for, a time
Bloodhounds tak6n TO the scenp
OF the explosion from this city.
took IN scent from burlap bag
found near the building, and tolF
lowed a trail to a house occupied
by an Italian some distance away
The hounds were taken back t
the building and given the scent
second time and followed the
same trail but no arrests have
been made.
Windows in tho building ocs
cupled by BoSsi and some IN ad
joining buildings were smaslpa
by the force OF the explosion whteii
occurred under one corner Of the
building.
Bossi claims to have received a
letter demanding him to- place
$4,000 in a certain place and isup-s
posed TO have been from black
handlers. He later received an
other letter marked No. 9, which
said that unless he met with the
demands OF letter No. 1 he would
have trouble. Recently third
letter was received in which II was
stated that unless he Immediately
met the demands OF the first let
ter that he would have ttouh
at once.
Officers and Bossi feel that the
attempt to blow up the building in
which Bossi operates a store and
lives was tho first step BY the
writer's OF the letters TO cause him
trouble.
While no arrests have been
made in the case the officers feel
that they are making progress
and will follow the case closely in
an effort to get some tangtable
evidence upon which warrants can
be issued and arrests made.
The damage to the building was
only slight, but 1t is believed that
II the charge OF dynamite had
been properly placed under the
building it would have done copS
siderable damage.
