HIS OWN ARCHITECT,

LIVES IN SAN ANTONIO.

LIVES IN SAN ANTONIO.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 12.-H.
Schultz, a San Antonio tin man, has
been building a two-story storehouse
on Goliad street. He has not seen fit
to employ an architect, but has been
experimenting the job himself, paying
the laborers by the day, At 2 o'clock
this afternoon there were 100 tons of
rock on the temporary second floor
and nine men working below it.
The support gave way with repor
like thunder, and the tremendous mass
came down on the workmen, burying
them. Vincent Pacheco's head and
body we're crushed to shapeless mass.
The other casualties are:
John Guhl, left thigh crushed and
badly bruised; will die.
John Heck, ribs smashed and back
bruised; probably fatal.
John Neekler, leg broken will re-
cover.
Mariana Navarro, bruised on arm
and chest: not serious.
Mariana Leal, bruised about head;
will live.
Pelonio Cruz, slightly bruised.
Henry Bunge, head and shoulders
bruised, serious.
Chas. Heiting, foreman, spine badly
injured will probably die.
A general alarm was turned in and
the firemen did the rescuing. The
buried men were all out inside of TWEEN
ty minutes. 1t is considered miracu-
Ions that the nine men were not smash
ed to pulp. Pelonio Cruz, the least in
jured, was pinned in a standing posi-
ton by the enormous stones which
fell around him. He was buried to the
waist and one leg only was scratched.

swear out a warrant, and they left to
await the rising of the sun and Justice

make the complaint.
On their way down the street, by
good luck, or whatever you may chance
to call it, they met up with the darkey,
He recognized them and made break
with the two Swedes hard after him.
Through the gray of the morning
the pursued and the pursuers silently
and swiftly moved like grim spectres.
The Swedes gained on their mau

They noted the spot and kept on
with renewed energy and finally nab

They went back, found the watch
and turned the man, Lewis Blunt,
over to U1iicer Gibson, who 10 turn de-

having nothing particularly to do at
that early hour, locked Lewis comfort,
ably on the inside of the Jail. He will

sarded by both parents with peculiar
