SIXTH VICTIM OF
EXPLOSION DIES
Inquest Will Be Resumed This Morn
ing and Dispositions of Wounded
Witnesses Will Be Taken
for Evidence

j. w. Haggerty, 1851 South Flower
street, the sixth victim of the Second
street explosion, died at the Good Sa-
maritan hospital at II o'clock yesterday
morning.
Haggerty was seriolsy injured in the
explosion. Both ankles were crushed
and he was hurt internally. Immedi-
ately after the explosion the man was
found beneath a pile of debris and
taken into the receiving hospital. After
receiving first aid there he was re-
moved to the Good Samaritan hospital.
1t was at first thought the mans life
would be saved; but he grew weaker
each day.
The body was removed to Pierce
Brothers undertaking establishment A
coroners inquest will be held Tuesday.
The funeral will be held from the
undertaking establishment Tuesday
afternoon.
The coroner's inquest on the victims
of the explosion will be again taken up
this morning and the examination of
witnesses will continue. Fully twenty
two witnesses who have been sub
poenaed are expected to be examined
today and tell what they know of the
grewsome tragedy to the nine men
who have been selected to investigate
and fix the responsibility.
In addition to the inquest the funer-
ais of the five victims who lost their
lives in the catastrophe or soon after
ward will be held today. The bodies
which will be buried are those of La
vonne Meyers, Mrs. Annie Crawford,
John Mains Jack Fuentes and Fernand
Stephens.
A dozen other victims of the explo-
sion occupy beds in different hospitals
and several of them will this morning
swear to depositions telling what they
know of the disaster and the causes
which led up to it. These dispositions
will be read to members of the jury
when the hearing is resumed today and
will probably weigh greatly in the de-
cision.
Employees and officials Of the gas COM
pany will also be placed on the stand
today to give their side of the matter
and 1t is understood the statements OF
B. Cressaty. proprietor of the restau-
rant beneath which the explosion oc-
CURED. that he called the company's
Offices six times before he received as
sistance, will be contradicted.
Mrs. Wade, one of the women who
was seriously injured in the explo-
sion, is at the Pacific hospital and Is not
expected to live. She has grown
steadily weaker and last night 1t was
said she would not live another day.

CARRIES RED-H0T
STOVE TWO MILES

WINSTED, Conn, Feb. 17,--Another
venerable jest, that about the red hot
stove" was lncinerated today in it's
own fire. William G. Ward, a piano
dealer, moved q red hot stove two
miles, from his old home, on Pratt hill,
to his new domicile in the Beardsley
block, on Main street. And he kept
the fire burning all the way
All the rest of Mr.. Wards household
goods were on the truck sleigh, only the
parlor stove remained, glowing cheer
fully emitting a grateful warmth,
wen empty that stove" said the
teamster.
1--WE will not" retorted Mr. Ward.
81 don't propose to build another fire
today. We win fill the hopper with
coal, load the stove on the tail end of
the truck where there is plenty of
room, and take 1t along. 1t will be
precious cold in the new house. and
we'll have a fire going while we un-
load"
The men took down the stove pipe,
carefully wired the stove to two long
furnace pokers and carrying it like an
ancient sedan chair, wired it on the end
of the truck, Everybody laughed who
saw the stove on it's two-mile Journey
In a temperature of 20 degrees above
zero.
Five minutes after the truck reached

LONG ON LANGUAGE;
SHORT ON TICKET

There was big line of people at the
Orpheum box office yesterday just be-
fore the matinee, and Julius Sonnen-
berg, the assistant treasurer, was very
busy when a middle-aged man stepped
before the grating and bowed.
How do you do?" said Mr.. Sonnen-
berg.
"I-I-I-I-I-I-II-"
"How's that" asked the treasurer
not understanding the mans actions
and gesticulations.
"G t-t-t-t-telephoned ya-ya-ya-ya-"
The crowd was becoming impatient.
So the treasurer,
"Oh, I see" he said. you telephoned
for tickets What is the name?"
IN M MI m-m-my Mama ma"
Nay nay, Pauline" said julius.
"Now try again. Your name is"
"Bt-bt-bt-bt. My na-na-na- ANA"
The people in the line behind him
began to grumble, and Mr.. Sonnenberg
mopped his brow The curtain was
about to rise.
Say, my friend" he said take
long breath and try again, please Now,
what is the name?'
"Baa, baa, black sheep" sang out
somebody in the line.
The treasurer was becoming very ner-
vous.
"I-I-I-I-I" began the man in front,
"I-I-I-I-I-"
BY this time julius was all mixed
up. Sass -sa say" came from his
parched throat. Then he realized that
he had caught the habit "Holy smoke"
he cried to the boy who was helping
him in the box office " am getting it
too Hand me a pencil and papa paper
quick"
The pencil and paper were brought
and the man outside wrote:
MY name is Baker l ordered seats
by phone
1t was easy after that. The seats
were handed out and the money handed
in. Then Julius gave up his place to
the boy and went back and sat down.
I'm bet a dollar he didn't order those
seats by telephone" he said as he
famed himself, He couldn't order
anything verbally"
Then the opening strains of Frank.
enstein's contribution TO the program
were heard and as the "line" passed its
endless length in front OF Nels Holm
blad, the voice of the stutterer was
heard trying to explain to a friend:

WOUNDED MAN
MAY RECOVER
Victim of Friends Hasty Shot Has
Confidence in His Own Ability
to Pull Through All
Right

Joseph Shine, the Santa Fe switch
man who was shot and seriously
wounded in a fight with Thomas j.
Stroud, an employee of the Salt Lake
Boiler works, early yesterday morn
ing, was unconscious the greater part
of yesterday, but toward night rallied
and became somewhat stronger
The bullet was probed for and ex-
tracted by Drs. Myers, Choate and Hall
yesterday morning. According to the
physicians there is about one chance
ir a hundred for Shine to recover, and
if he does it will be the fact that he
has an exceptionally strong constitu-
tion which will aid him.
Shine does not believe he is going to
die, and when questioned said he was
sure he would recover in a short time.
Stroud is being held at the city Jail
awaiting the outcome of Shines in.
juues. If the man dies Stroud will be
charged with murder and If he lives he
will be charged with assault with a
deadly weapon.
Wife Is Notified
Early yesterday morning word was
taken TO Mrs. Stroud of her husbands
pledicament, The woman is said TO be
in a delicate condition, and 1t was at
first feared that the shock when told
that her husband was in prison would
injure her, She was taken to her
parents home from her house at 1905
Michigan avenue soon after being told
During the day more than fifty per-
sons called at the city Jail and asked to
see stroud. All of them spoke in the
highest terms of the young man. They
said he was not a drinker but was a
hard working man. Since his marriage
last April he has been employed at the
Salt Lake Boiler works and has worked
nights during the greater part of that
time. Recently he was promoted to the
position of foreman and was greatly
trusted by his employers.
According to statements made by both
Shine and Stroud the two men took
supper together In Billy's chop house
on East First street. on their way back
to work, 1t is claimed, a callboy em-
ployed by one of the roads called Shine
several vile names. The man thought
1t was Stroud who called the names ana
struck him. According to Stroud, Shine
struck him several times, and Stroud
then drew his revolver and fired.
Stroud is said to have confessed to
the shooting at the police station and
afterWard was identified by Shine as
the man who shot him.

NEW YORK. Feb. Histories as to
the probable changes in the counsel OF
Harry Thaw continued to circulate to-
day. but until the trial is resumed in
court tomorrow it will be impossible TO
say whether or not d. NJ. Delmas Will
still act in that capacity.
Rumors of dissension among the six
attorneys who have sat at the table as
signed to the defense since the trial
began have frequently cropped up dur
ing the last few days and were as
often denied There is no doubt, how
ever. that there has been serious dis
agreement of some sort, and that Mr..
Delmas has found some fault with the
alleged actions of some of his assistant
counsel.
The trouble, according to a story cur
rent today arose over the publication
of an alleged interview with Attorney
McPike, partner of Mr.. Delmas. in
which Mr.. McPike was quoted as criti-
cising District Attorney Jerome.
>Messrs. Hartridge O'Reilly, Gleason
Thaw family, are said to have taken
Mr.. McPike to task for the remarks
credited to him and Mr.. McPike Wig
orously denied the alleged interview.
In this denial be is said to have been
supported by his partner, Mr.. Delmas.
DeImas Scores Aids
On Saturday there was a five hours
conference of all the counsel for Thaw
at Mr.. Delmas' office, and at this meet
ing, it is said, Mr.. DelmaS took occa-
sion to criticise severely the lack of
support by his assistants. He declared,
it is said. that they had done everything
to discredit him and to make him ap-
pear ridiculous and that, although he
had been nominally in charge of the
case in court since the second day Of
the trial. he had in fact been nothing
of the sort.
AS an illustration of this alleged de-
sire to confuse him, he declared he
knew nothing of Thaw's will and let
ters until they were handed to him as
he was questioning a witness in court.
There seems little chance that the
present situation in the ThaW case will
result in a mistrial. 1t is said that
Juror Joseph B. Bolton, whose wife died
last week and was buried Saturday, has
stated that he is willing and able to go
on with the trial
DR.. Britton d. Evans, the alienist, is
expected to resume the stand tomorrow
morning, followed by DR.. Charles G..
Wegner.
Another attempt will be made to in
troduce the famous will, and it will
probably be admitted. Then it is pro
posed that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will go
on the stand for the purpose of testofy-
ing to various conversations with her
husband regarding other persons whom
Thaw believed to have suffered at
Whites hands.
