PIER FALLS;
FOUR DROWN
TREsTLE AT EAST SAN PEDRO
coLLAPsEs UNDER TRAIN
LABoRERs, UNABLE TO SWIM
PERISH IN SEA
Four Hundred Feet of Temporary
BuIkhead Falls When Freight Cars
Bump over Tles-Victims'
Bodies Not Recovered
nv Associated Pregs.

BY Associated Press.
SAN PEDRO, Aug. 1.-Four hundred
feet of the trestle which the Pacific
Wharf and Storage company is building
at East San Pedro, on which to carry
rock for a bulkhead of stone, collapsed
about noon today under the weight of
seven fiat cars filed with rock. Eight
Greek workmen on the cars were pre-
cipitated into the water with the cars
and their loads of rock.
-Four of the men fell free of the mass
of rocks and got to the bulkhead in
safety, but the other four were carried
down with the rocks and their bodies
have not yet been recovered.
The train of twenty cars was backed
on to the trestle by a Salt Lake Rail-
way company engine, a spur track of the
road having been extended out on the
structure. The engine was cut loose
from the train and the men on it were
unable to stop the train until the seven
cars had been showed beyond the point
where the rails were laid.
The swaying of the cars on the bare
ties and the weight caused the trestle
to collapse.
Three of the dead men are Montene-
grams. Their names are Melia Balichk,
aged 35; Mike Kovavich, aged 45; Bocko
Kovavich, aged %. The other is Greek
named Louie Manages.
Another effort will be made at low tide
tonight to recover the bodies.
The four who were drowned were un-
able to swim. and. although two of them
were seen in the water after the col
lapse. they were not able to reach the
bulkhead, only few feet away.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1-Frank Grimes

Fair avenue. st. Louis, now has a
chance to win her by means of horse
race.
Last Sunday while/ out driving.
Grimes horse Robbie G, defeated in an
informal race a horse owned by one

clared that he could not win another
race, and Grimes told her that If she
would put herself up as wager he
would race the horse against three fast
ones in Belleville for a purse and her
self as a side bet, she to become his
bride if he won.
The novelty of the situation appealed
to Miss Burs, and she accepted the
wager. Papers were drawn up and
signed before notary public, the wit
nesses being the other three men who
agreed to enter horses in the race.

BURNS HOUSE TO EJECT
TENANT WHO WON'T MOVE

Special to The Herald.
SHOSHONE, Wyo.. Aug. 1.-James
Keeshan of Atlantic City, little
mining town south of Lander, set fire
to and burned to the ground valuable
house belonging to him in order to get
rid of a tenant who had failed to pay
his rent and who ID refused to vacate
the premises.
The tenant, Michael Brandon, had
occupied the house for year or more,
but never had paid his rent.
Keeshan sought on number of oc-
casions to eject him from the house,
but he took advantage of legal techni-
calities and kept possession of 1t.
Finally Keeshan, thoroughly out of
patience and angry, warned Brandon
that if he did not vacate the house at
once he would set fire to it and burn 1t
down over his head.
Brandon paid no heed to the warm
ing. When he awoke in the middle of
the night, however, he discovered that
Keeshan had carried out his threat.
The house was on fire and the flames
had gained such headway that when
Brandon was awakened by them he
barely had time to escape with his life,
all his household goods and personal
effects being destroyed.

$4,000 ON GRANNY MINE
AT DEPTH OF 20 FEET
Sensation in the Manhattan District.
Promise Of Larger Yields Than
the Famous Mustang
Hill

The Manhattan, New, Mail states that
the uncovering of high grade ledges in
new places on the estate of the Granny
Mining company is the latest sensation.
The shaft being sunk about 100 feet west
of the main shaft Is down 20 feet and is
all in ore of shipping grade. In sinking
to this depth 25 tons of ore has been
taken out that, if milled, would easily
net $4,000, or better than $100 to the ton.
All the way down there has been an
eight inch streak that is worth $500 to the
ton. Every piece broken from this por-
ton of the ledge carries specimen gold.
The ore is ozidzed and near the surface
was considerably broken. But at 20 feet
the ledge has come in solid and firm,
the quartz being of the characteristic
quality of Litigation Hill. Last week
Superintendent Schoonover made a sec
ond discovery fully as important, If not
of greater Importance than the first high
grade discovery. A few feet from the
west side line a north and south fissure
has been exposed. The rock first taken
to the assayer from this new strike ran
$97. .06 to the ton in gold. Mr.. Schoonover
believes this is a true cross fissure lead
ing from the great Litigation Hill ledge
and running northerly the length of the
Granny claim.
The Granny lies west of the Consolidat-
ed and east of the Litigation Hill prop

mneralized area. Work has been going
management The main shaft is below
the 250-foot point where water has
stopped operations for a time. Ed
Hirschler president of the company, is
now in San Francisco buying necessary

Special to The Herald.
CARBONDALE, Ill, Aug. IA prac-

death of Wilson White the other day.
White and a companion had gone
into the woods to collect mushrooms
They found them in abundance. and
soon had their baskets filled. White
did not know much about the things,
and took the other fellows word that
real mushrooms had been picked.
He cooked the mushrooms and made
a hearty meal. About the time that
he had finished his friend dashed into
the house, shrieked that they had gath
cred toadstools and told White that he
would be dead in few minutes.
White, who up to that moment had
been feeling well, grew pale and in a
few seconds was in convulsions. The
frightened joker in vain told him that
nothing was wrong, and that the
mushrooms were real. 1t took doctor
and a stomach pump to bring him
around.
