VICTIM OF A BLAST.
A Mans Head Mashed Into Pulp
by Tremendous
Stone.
The Body Identified as That OF L.
w. Crates, of Spokane
Falls.

An accident that resulted In the
death OF l.. w. Crates occurred at
the Union Pacific freight depot,
about 12:l5 o'clock Friday. The
accident, which resulted from n
blast, also caused several hundred
dollars damage to freight-cars, and
the depot itself was considerably
damaged where the large pieces of
rock went through.
Near the freight depot, Mckenzie
Il Co., contractors, are engaged In
leveliiig the hill, and the custom OF
the men at work has been to set off
a blast just before going to
their dinner. ON this occasion
the blast, II seems, was n
much heavier one than usual. The
employees I'm the depot were notified
to remove to safe distance, and
Foreman William Cannon then
gave the signal to set the blast of.
THE WARNING.
At the time Of the blast two men.
both entire strangers, were seen to
come up and p. s. Webb, who IL
the bill clerk, spoke to them and
told them to 'look out" They
were standing just outside the door,
on the north side of the building,
and MIR. Webb had no more than
warned them to "look out" when
the blast exploded with loud re-
port. Webb ON seeing the flying

the man who was killed was seen to
run into the freight Office. At the
northeast corner, facing on Wash
ington street, Is n window. The
man had no more than got Into the
doorway when a rock that weighed
100 pounds came through the win
dow, striking the casing, rebound
ing and hitting the man on the side
of the head, killing him instantly.
His jaw was smashed all to pieces,
and his features were almost un-
recognizable. DR.. Mcclure was
called and was soon ON the scene,
but the man was past oil surgical
aid.
Tho rock, after striking the man,
smashed the telephone, which was
a short distance away, and then
landed with n loud crash on the let
ter press, which was at the farther
end of the room. The other man
was knocked down by the con-
cusslon, and lay In an insensible
condition for some time. At first 1t
ives thought that he too was either
killed or injured, but he soon re-
gained consciousness, and on being
Informed that the other man WAS
dead, the grief of the poor fellow

There Is all interesting divorce
case pending before Judge Klnnuird.
The title of the case Is Peterson vs.
Peterson. About seven years ago
August Peterson, IA hardworking,
everyday sort OF n man, who accord.
ing to his attorney IL able to earn
about s@5 n month, and Il perfectly
satisfied with the same, married u
school teacher.
/, = Mrs. Peterson had different ideas
= nom her husband. While he was n
plain man, cOntcnted with plain
life, she was woman of some at
tainmcnts, Of aristocratic notions
and leaning toward the theory OF
woman suffrage.
Mrs, Peterson could not see why
she could not spend $50 u month
when herhusband managed, by cut
ting wood and hauling 1t in to the
city from his ranch on the Little
Spokane, to- earn about SIS a month.
About u year ago Mrs. Peterson
left for "A trip East. Peterson some
months afterward brought suit for
divorce ON the grounds of deseriion
This was answered by Mrs. Peter
son with coupter suit, pray
ing for decree on the grounds
of cruelty. She claimed that
as she had put 500 into the common
property when she was married, that
she had a right to n division Of all
the property and aimony.
The Peterson property consists In
a l6O-acre homestead and 4O-aore
!. piece Of railroad land Oh the Little
Epokane, about eight acres Of which
productive.
~ About week ago the cour, Issued
an order causing Peterson TO pay $50
for attorney fees, s24 for expenses,
and $50 month for Mrs. Peterson
pending decision In the case.
Peterson struggled, and borrowed
$50, which he put into the pot, but
Is absolutely unable to pay any
more money, for he can not get 1t,
nor can he make it.
The question now II, What will be
done with him? II he does not raise
the money he should be cent to jall; /;
but IL looks rather hard TO send u
man to jail simply for being poor.

senate Senator Reagan. of Texas, moved

and that, in the same faith, they had in
closed. plowed and cultivated these
lands for many years, and that they
had been sold and conveyed as other
lands IN the county. Alter I thus pre-
sonted the matter ho accepted my state
ment and withdrew his amendment so
that bill as IL passed the senate allows
the confirmation to the settler Of all the
land hc bought In that place. have
sent you a copy OF tho Congressional
