Al ROOSEVELT BURNS CEMENT
 PLANT
EXPLOSION OF AN OIL TANK MAKES A NINE THOUSAND
 DOLLAR BLAZE.
Related Advices From Dam Village Say the Accident Will Cause Little or No Delay in Construction Work Tried to Thaw Out the Oil.

Brief mention was made in yesterday mornings Silver Belt of a serious fire at Roosevelt Monday in which the ce- ment mill at the dam works was bad ly damaged. Further investigation re- suits in the information that the fire occurred in the morning about s:3C O o'clock, doing damage estimated at $9,- 900, as follows: Hoist, 5000; lumber, 5000; miscellaneous, $2000; labor for repairs 5000. It was estimated that it would take about two weeks to re. pair the damage done.
 The origin of the fire was the cxplo- sion of a tank containing fuel oil which is used in the cement mill. The mill was closed down Saturday and Sunday and as a result the oil was very thick Monday morning, the night temperature in those parts having a tendency to congeal things. A small fire was built under the tank to thaw the oil and it was not noticed that its natural exit had been left open until it had ignited the oil in the tank and the explosion followed. There was no personal in. jury in connection with the explosion or subsequent fire.
 There is but small amount of wood work in the building, but there was suf- ficient to lead the fire up the side hill structure, eating out most of the wood work in the erusher room. From there it assailed and destroyed the wooden clay and rock bins, which however were trestle over which the cars run to dump in the bins. The hoist house, outside the mill proper, was badly damaged, but there IS another hoist on the ground which can be quickly put in eommis- sion. The crushers are probably dam aged somewhat, but how much has not been reported.
 The grinding end of the plant was not injured and there is considerable stored clinker on hand, ready for grind ing, as well as lot of stored cement, so it is not believed the damage to the mill will interfere materially with the work of the contractor.
 It has been planned for sometime to shut down the power during the holi- day vacation in order to lengthcn the penstoek to take care of two addition al water wheels an1 generators, thus increasing the resources of the power plant This could only be ,lone by a short shut down yhi,n would of ronrse necessitate stopping the cement mill as well as the operations of the contractor. It is believed, though, that tn, cement supply will last until this planned shut down occurs, so there will be no dam aging results from the fire except the damage to the cement min itself At the worst it could only hasten the shut down by few days.

Shifted Responsibility
 to he Deity

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. l0.-Does the fact that juror opened delib. eration on verdict by prayer to the Almighty vitiate the verdict'
 This is the question presented to the supreme court in the case of Vandewege vs. Peter.
 Henry Carter, proprietor of a dray line in Lincoln, is devout Christian. He was drawn on jury that tried the case in district court.
 After the jury retired he asked Preacher Allenbach, also member, to make a prayer for guidance. Al lenbach refused.
 'arter then proceeded to pray, af- frming that he was much puzzled in mind and asked light from above. When he got up from his knees it was as a partisan of the defendant. He made several other prayers dur ing the time the jury wrangled, and the verdict was finally for the side Carter champinoed.
 The plaintiff insists that Carter shifted his responsibility to the Deity and thereby incapacitated himself as 8 juror, and that he may have convinced other members of the panel that he had received a special inspiration from God.
 An affidavit of juror who swore they were "pestered with prayer was a part of the record.

CLEVER SWINDLER MILKs GULLI-
 BILE OF BELow-THE-sEA MUNICIPALITY.

| YUMA, December l2.--C. Randall months ago with his wife, engaged cost | ly apartments at the Gandolfo. Imme diately he proceeded to unfold upon
 Yuma's unsuspecting and unsophisti cated business men a plausible story of a beautiful natatorium soon to be built for Yuma. Now, no doubt, he has left Yuma for good.
 At all events, the only way he can 1 convince few people to the contrary is to come back and show them. He secured about $2,000 in $20 contracts from Yuma business men and others, and agreed to construct natatorium building, equipped in up to date fash. ion. This he never did to the satisfae- tion of those who signed the contracts and only few paid the $20 when the natatorium opened.
 The balance of the contracts were placed in the hands of Attorney H. Wuppleman for collection, but without much success, for he was advised that his case was very poor one.
 The shallow pretext made to open up . first class natatorium was of brief duration. The place was kept open just long enough to collect as much as pos sible on the contracts, and showing made solely with this end in view. There being no hope of making a success of the swimming pool, and no doubt none knew it better than Mir. Sparks, the couple left suddenly after collecting on all contracts possible. Subsequently it developed that bills for cement work, lumber, livery and other necessities were left unpaid, much to the disgust of the easy ones who are ever ready to boost we'll dressed and affable stranger.
 Yesterday, Eugene Fain, cement contractor who resides in the valley,
 filed mechanic s lien on the natator- ium property at Main and Jones streets for SIS for labor performed. Other creditors have done likewise in vari. ous amounts.

SLOW MONTH AT ROOSEVELT DAM
SHORTAGE OF CEMENT REDUCES VOLUME OF MASoNRY-woRK- MAN CAUGHT IN LANDSLIDE OTHER NEWS OF DAM TOWN.

ROOSEVELT, December l2.-Manu- el, Spaniard, was caught in slide of rock in No. l quarry last week and severely crushed from the waist down. He was held fast by the slide for some thirty or thirty or forty minutes, but was finally got out and removed to the hospital Only three men went to his assistance while the rest of the men in the quarry kept on at their work.
 The month of November was a slow one in dam construction as only about four thousand yards were put in against some l4,000 yards for the month of De- tober. This IS mostly, if not altogether, due to the failure of cement during the last month. The cement is being put in as fast as it is milled while contractors have to wait between times.
 Carpenters are busy putting in a bulk head in the tunnel in front of the gates of the dam for the purpose of shutting the water off so the gates can be got at on the upper side. Some further cement work has been planned for the spaces between the gates which are of cement and iron construct ton, but have semi circular shape as they breast the flow of water passing )n each side and through the gate. This is to be changed from the semi-circular to V.shape so as to offer less ho for drift or other refuse to find lodlment against them and so have tendency to clog the gates and prevent the fr'e working of them.
 Miss Halle Thompson had very narrow escape from serious injury while out horseback riding the other day. It was just after the last rain and while crossing the old bridge where the clay used to be dumped. her horse jumped to one side, slipped and fell on it's side, carrying it's rider with it. Fortunately the young lady was thrown far enough to one side so that she was not caught underneath the horse As it was she es- capped with a slight wrenching of the knee and bruised shoulder.
