INJURED IN AN EXPLOSION
kidder Boys Blown Up With Giant
Powder

PENDLETON, July 17.-Fifty
pounds of giant powder which was
stored in a blacksmith shop on the
Kidder farm, three miles west of the
city, was exploded by spark from an
anvil yesterday afternoon and Leon
and Ed Kidder aged 10 and 81, werC
horribly burned, the former perhaps
fatally.
The brothers were working on
threshing machine preparatory to
starting harvest and We're at work in
the blacksmith shop on their farm. A
5O-pound can of giant powder had
been stored in the building by another
brother and a spark from the redhOt
iron ignited it when a terrific eXplO-
sion occurred, burning both men bad
ly. /: II a
Leon, the eldest of the brothers, is
horribly burned from his waist up,
and it is thought that his injuries may
prove fatal. The skin on the upper
portion of his body Is practically
off and his hands badly scorched.
The other brother being farther
away from the powder at the time of
the explosion, was not so badly in
jured, but is also in a serious cOndi-
ton, his face and hands being burned
terribly and his body somewhat
scorched.
The clothing was burned entirely off
the body of Leon, the elder brother.
and the force of the explosion
wrecked the interior of the shop anc
set fire to the building The Greek
section gang on the O. r. & N. who
were working near, put out the fire
and the section foreman came to the
city on a track velocipede and called
DR.. C. J. Smith, who Immediately
went to the scene of the explosion.
The young men are sons of George
Kidder, the well known farmer living
few miles west of the city on the
Umatilla river.

CITY ATTORNEYS OPINIONS WATER REPORT IS ACCEPTED
Recommends Opening Alley Op-
posed in The Courts

Three opinions of City Attorney
Blandford were read before the city
council at its meeting last night
Chief of these was that relative to
the opening of the alley in Pafouse
street addition from east Alder street
to Spokane street This case has been
given considerable publicity through
action taken in the matter by those
DESTROYS of securing the opening of the
alley. To secure an appraisement of
the property from which the alley
would have to be taken, the matter was
brought twice before Judge Brents IN
the superior court and was then post
poncd for another hearing.
The opinion rendered by Mr.. Bland
ford was to the effect that it would be
unwise for the city to attempt the
opening of the alley while the owners
of the abutting property were opposed
to the Improvement. 1t was pointed
out that three of the parties interested
had filed objections and had asked for
damages aggregating $4,000.
According to Councilman Mexican.
however the interested parties are on
the point of reaching an amicable set
Element. He suggested they be given
this week in which to come to some
understanding relative to the opening
of the alley. McKean's suggestion was
accepted and no disposition was made
of the attorneys report.
Another opinion from the city attOr-
ncy was to the effect that the city
should make suitable recompense to Q.
z. Skinner for injuries suffered from
his horse stepping in an open valve box
near the corner of Palouse and Sumach
streets
The opinion stated that while the
city was neither directly nor construct
lively to blame for the valve box being
left open, as it had been carefully COW
cred and provisions made to prevent
the cover coming off, the city was in
q way to blame. 1t was intimated that
the cover had been taken off by mis-
Chievous boys in the neighborhood and
number OF otner lnStanceSe We're
cited where covers had been found of
after being securely fastened on.
The injuries received by the horse
are estimated by Mr.. Skinner to rep
resent a loss to him cf $500. Some OF
the councimen inquired of Attorney
Blandford if this We're not a rather high
estimate. He replied that while he was
no expert horseman, he should judge
that the estimate was not far from
right, as the animal appeared to be a
valuable one.
The opinion was accepted and or
dercd placed on file.
The petition of the fruit peddlers,
Chas. w. Neimeyer and r. H. Minion
for a reduction of their licenses found
favor with the city attorney. his opin-
ion on their case stating that he con
sidered a license of IS per day unrea-
Sonable and prohibitive He suggest
ed special license be drawn, the
amount of the license to be SIS to Sc
per quarter. The attorneys sugges-
tons were accepted.
