SHOOK THE WHOLE TOWN.
Terrific Explosion of Giant Pow
der With Fatal Result.
Snecial to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
SPOKANE FALLS, W. T., Jan. S.
A terrific explosion, like the boom of a
hundred cannon. which shook buildings
in the lower part of the town and was
heard for miles, occurred at O'Clock
this afternoon. An explosion of
Hercules powder occurred at place
on Washington street, near the island,
which is being graded, just as James
Collins, foreman in charge of the grad
ing, was preparing a cap for blast.
How the powder became ignited is
a mystery that cannot be ex-
planned by Collins, who received
injuries from which he died
six hours later at the sisters hospital.
There were three or four pounds OF
giant powder in a box near Collins
while he was fixing the cap for blast.
There was a sudden flash and a tre-
mendous explosion. The air was filled
with flying rock, and when the work
men rushed to the place where Collins
had been standing they found him tot
blood and dirt. One leg was literally
splintered py flying rock, and large
hole was torn in the flesh. Rock had
also struck him on the left breast and
over the heart, breaking four ribs. The
face of the unfortunate man was
blown full of dust and sand. Before he
died he made the following Statement:
II was fixing a cap Oh fuse prepara-
tory to firing blast, when suddenly

buried by dirt, and found my left leg

P1PEsToNE, Minn., Jan. s.-There
was considerable indignation here
among farmers and others yesterday
over a purported interview in Sundays
Pioneer Press with Senator W. B.
Brown, of this county, in which Mr..
Brown was quoted as saying that the
farmers, merchants and all here were
in favor of Washburn for United States
senator. Nothing further from the truth
could have been thought of, and if Mr..
Brown told any such thing he misrep-
resented the people here willfully. 1t
is safe to say that there are not half
dozen farmers in Pipestone county in
favor of Washburn under any circum-
stances, but between him and Sabin the
latter is far preferable. Beyond one of
the bankers here there is not single
business man who indorses Washburn.
