BOMB HURLED AT DANCERS.

Man Grabs It, Flings It Out Of Ballroom. When a bomb was hurled into the ballroom during a dance given by 400 Communist youths at Vienne, France, one of the dancers grabbed the smoking bomb, and, pushing his partner aside, threw it out of the window. French police are now hunting foi; a number of men who committed the outrage, which ended in murder, for when pursued, the men fired and fatally wounded one of the dancers. The force- of the explosion as the bomb went outside the ballroom smashed the window panes and caused considerable damage by fire. None of the dancers was hurt. Some of ‘the men immediately took up the chase, and two of the three bullets fired- hit M. Fabian Le fed-re (23) in the head and neck. He died later in hospital. Although the police joined in the chase, the men made theiu, escape, and the hunt is continuing.
