Unless an attack was planned on the
Jail and was thwarted l.y a bomb ex-
ploding prematurely, |h*> r<'al j..irjm»e
of the blast Is inexplicable.
The flrwt exuloslon oc*'ti.rred in the
street In front of *he [«i Kavorlta
dance hall and as. the revelers ran
otft, women should that t vn men on
top of a roof opposite the dance hall
had thrown a bomb. A number of spe-
cial policemen and soldier* who were
in the hall daahed In'o the building
where the men were supposed to he
and two more bombs wei*» hurled at
them The first bomb literally' blew:
Francisco Sonora to pl“c|*. The sec-
ond bomb >v .uii'Vd hU companions.
The two bomb throwers facaped.
It is the theory of thn federal of-
ficers that the bomb tbiowera .were
making their way across the top* oi
roofs to bur! the bombs against the
walls of the stale prison, which Is In
the same hlocl and that they drop-
ped a bomb by accident.
The city Jail rapidly filled with pri-
soners between the time of the ex-
plosion and daylight, soldiers and po-
lice forming s cordon around the dis-
trict. All thoee In the dance hall and
many In the street nearby were held
as witnesses until Mayor Martinez
could make an examination today.
During the day soldiers filled the
street* and tke town bristled with
the military as much as on occasions,
when the tnsurrectos were Just out-
aide The city.
About noon a terrific windstorm
came np and blew the dust In auch a
planner that the soldiers could ace
scarcely across the street. Thla add-
ed to the confusion until a rain set in
and the dnst storm ceased.1'

The holdup of two American hnrae-

added td th© excitement In Juarez.
