Bomb Wrecks Church in Arizona.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 3, 1913:
    CLIFTON, Ariz., Aug. 2.— The Catholic Church at Morenci, near here, was wrecked this morning by an explosion of dynamite. It was the second attempt to blow up the church. Father Call, who was asleep in an apartment near the sacristy, was thrown from his bed, but was not hurt. The officers suspect a young Mexican who recently threatened to destroy all institutions maintained by contributions from the working class.
