SHOT DEAD.
SAVING A CHURCH. NEW YORK, March 7. The beautiful Roman Catholic Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, in Vaness Avenue, San Francisco, was the scene of a fourth attempted bomb outrage to-day. After the last occasion, when an attempt was made to explode a bomb in the church on January 9, detectives set an elaborate trap, keeping a perpetual look-out. Their tiresome wait was rewarded to-day when a man stole up to the church with a dynamite bomb. He lighted the attached fuse and threw the bomb into the' church. The detectives on watch shot him dead as he ran away. They then cut the burning fuse and averted an explosion.
