FIRE DESTROYS
PLANNING MILL
DAMAGE IS ESTIMATED TO BE
$4,000
Quick Work on Part Of the Depart
ment Checks Spread Of Flames
to Nearby Houses Avert
ing Serious Blaze

Fire, the origin of which is unknown,
either by the fire department or the
police officers, destroyed the planning
mill belonging to II. A. Bourne and G..
r. Hamilton, located at 1885 Ceres
avenue about II O'Clock last night. The
loss is estimated to be not less than
$25, 900. The entire building besides
several thousand dollars worth of val
uavle planning mill machinery, was
destroyed. A horse belonging to Mr..
Bourne, valued at $500 and stabbed in
the rear Of the mill, was burned to
death before the arrival of the fire
department
The principal single loss was the
40-horse power gasoline engine, valued
at $35OO. A motor for use in case of
emergency, worth $4,000, was also de-
stroyed.
Flames Spread Rapidly
The fire was most rapid In spread
ing, and between the time the alarm
was turned in by Patrolman Humphries
and the arrival of the engines, the
building had been almost totally con-
sumed by the flames.
The house at $40 Ceres avenue, owned
by Wesley L. Bolin, was damaged to
the extent of $100. At 523-525 Ceres
avenue, the house occupied by Mrs. w.
Sharp and j. M. Forgey was scorched.
The damage there was about 5000. A
house at 533 Gladys avenue, across the
alley from the planning mill, was burned
slightly. The damage is estimated at
$500.
In view of the close proximity of the
house at 533 Ceres avenue to the burned
building, it required vigorous work by
the firemen to prevent the flames from
leaping the short gap between.
After an hours hard work by the de-
partment the flames were extinguished.,
The tap-out bell sounded shortly be-
fore midnight.

BY Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 26.-An-
other hitch has developed in the mat
ter of the transfer of Yosemite valley
to the federal government.

semitic commissioners, after receiving
the notice of the secretary of the in
terror that the grant had formally been
accepted by the federal government to
close UP the affairs when the ques-
tion was raised as to what disposition
should be made of the state property
in the valley. This consists of horses,
cabins, wagons and personal property
of considerable value. II seems to be
conceded that the state can remove
the chattels and that Maj Benson Will
not interpose any objection.
The state has in the valley a costly
electric light and power plant. To
leave II will be to give the govern
ment what is needed i'm the valley and
which will be of high value to IT,

CAR
JUMPS, EXPLODES
TWO BRAKEMEN KILLED AlND
ENGINE SHATTERED
Curve at StanisIaus River Canyon Is
Scene of Awful Impact-The
Wheels Found on Bear
Mountain
BY Associated Press.


ANGELS, Cal, June 26.-The over
turning of freight car of a train run
ming on the Sierra railway between
Jamestown and Angels this afternoon
at 120 exploded one and half tons of
dynamite and 'led two brakemen on
the train named Hoagland and Brown.
The conductor, named Hawkins, was
injured, and a passenger, r. A. Roberts
of Sausalito, was severely hurt but will
recover.
Hoagland's body was badly mutt
lated and but few pieces of Browns
body were recovered. so terrible was
the shock. The explosion was caused
by the car carrying dynamite jumping
the track when coming up out of the
great canyon of the Stanislaus river
at curve in the road about six miles
from this place. The car was turned
completely over and the impact ex-
ploded the dynamite.
That car was completely destroyed
and parts of the wheels were thrown
one and a half miles from the scene
and landed on Bear mountain.
On two of the five cars of the train
were two traction engines coming here
for the Union Construction company.
Engine Blown to Pieces
One of the engines was not badly
damaged but the other was blown in
pieces and scattered so it cannot be
located. A zoieca 5f the engine, a
strnger Sx10 and fourteen feet long
was thrown a distance of half mile
and struck the ground at the Jones
mine.
The explosion wrecked the chlorina-
ton works at the Jones mine, and
although the explosion was heard here
no damage was done in this town.
Word comes from Milton, twenty-one
miles west of Angels, that the shock
was felt there and window glass was
broken in that village.
Strange to say, the railroad track
was not badly damaged by the great
force of the explosion, but the up
passenger train had not passed the
point at 8 o'clock tonight.
Two Brakemen Killed
The report was brought here that
possibly a second passenger might
have been killed in the wreck and
search was made for another victim,
but railroad men say only the two
brakemen were killed.
Two wheels of one of the five cars
in the freight train were found on the
railroad track a half mile this side of
the wreck.
The explosion was felt as far away
as Stockton, sixty miles, where it was
believed that an earthquake had
shaken up the country, but the force
of the shock seemed to travel down
stream in the deep canyon and did not
come over the hill to Angels.
The brakemen who were killed lived
at jamestown in Tuolumne county. 1t
is said that both are single men.
