HIS EARS BURNED TO CRISP
An Explosion of Powder Works at Santa
Cruz.

Santa Cruz, Cal, Sept. 15.-This
morning an explosion occurred in the
smokeless powder department at the
powder works, causing the death OF
Make Grimm, II years old, and burn
ing James Howard so severely that no
hopes are entertained for his recovery.
There were $50 pounds of powder
in the new press, which went up IN
smoke. This powder was for the Hotch-
kiss gun on the cruiser Boston
Howard, after the explosion, with MS
clothes on fire, ran to creek lOO yaros
distant and jumped in. BY the time

had all been burned off, and nearly ev-
cry portion of his body was a mass OF

wATssuae PosroFFlce ROBBED
Burglars Blow Open the Safe and Secure
Money and Stamps.

Waitsburg, Sept. 15.-The postofice
at this place was burglarized last
night, the safe blown open, $50 In mon
ey and $40 or SIS worth of stamps ta-
ken.
The loss is quite small, except the
damage to the safe, which is a total
wreck. The small amount of money
and stamps in the Office is accounted
for by the fact that the stamps are
left at the bank, only enough being
kept on hand to supply immediate
wants, and the proceeds of money or
der sales being deposited in the bank
every afternoon.
The tools used by the burglars have
been identified as belonging to the
blacksmith shop of Brand e Smith, and
are the same ones used at the robbery
Of the postoffice about four years ago.
AS yet there is no clue to the perpe-
traitors, but the job shows that he or
they were not noyices at the business.

ago Captain of Detectives Lees said
that If a witness could be found who
would supply the necessary proof that

Noble in so mysterious a manner, the
last and strongest link in the chain
of evidence against the young medical
student would have been forged. This
witness has been found. His name
is j. Phillips. His testimony will be
corroborative of that of Adolph OPP
penheim, the pawnbroker. who testi-
fled at the preliminary hearing that
Durrant entered his place a few days
after the murder of Blanche Lamont
