BOMB HURLS 14 FROM BEDS

Attempt to Murder Entire Milwaukee Family Falla—Flooring Is Torn Up. Milwaukee, May 2.—An attempt to murder the family of Louis Letizla, 752 Marshall street, was made when a bomb placed at the side of the house exploded. The family, consisting of Letizla, his wife, nine sons, one daughter, a daughter-in-law and an elghteen-days-old baby, was asleep when the bomb exploded. The mother was sleeping in a bed within ten feet of the spot where the flooring was torn up. A big hole was torn in the flooring of the parlor in which Sylvester and Michael slept. The bomb rocked the house and knocked the plaster from the ceiling on them, but no one was injured.
