CHILD IS DEAD
IN ORE BUCKET

SAN BERNARDINo, Sept. 7.-R.
S. Morrison, superintendent of the
Duplex mine at Searchlight, made a
shocking discovery when he brought
the ore bucket from the bottom level
yesterday morning, the bucket con-
tanned the body of his eight-year-old
son, Stratford.
The child had been with the engi-
neer to the lowest level of the shaft,
and, becoming weary of below, was
sent up in the ore bucket at his
fathers request. Somewhere during
the ascent, probably at the 500-foot
level, he leaned from the bucket, his
head striking a beam. 1t is believed
he made childish effort to catch the
bellrope at the 500-foot level, for the
gong rang at that point. Superin.
tendent Morrison was waiting at the
surface for the child, whose coming
had been telephoned, and for mo-
ment was too dazed to raise the body
from the bucket.
Physicians, hurriedly summoned
found life extinct, the neck having
been broken, though beyond this
there was no evidence of other in
jury. An examination of the shat
revealed small tuft of hair on thu
side of the beam.

FIRE WIPES OUT
A DESERT TOWN

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. r.
Word reached here tonight of the to-
tai destruction of Marvel, probably
the oldest mining town on the desert
in this county. The fire occurred last
Wednesday night, breaking out in
the Santa Fe depot, and, swept by a
high wind, within an incredibly brief
time had ignited the postofice and
the large store of the Browns osney
corporation. While an effort to save
the warehouse and the store was be-
ing made, powder explosions wrecked
both buildings, throwing burning
timbers for 200 feet, igniting row
of dwellings, twelve being razed and
in some instances the occupants es-
Gaping with difficulty.
Telegram and telephone service
was completely destroyed. The news
did not reach Searchlight, twenty
five miles distant, until the following
day. A message received here to-
night states the Santa Fe depot, a
warehouse, the merchandise store,
twelve residences and the postoffice
were completely destroyed. The loss
is given as $25, 900.
The postmaster and assistant saw
ed the mail pouches at the risk OF
serious injury to themselves. All
other property contained in the
building was completely destroyed.

Office at Marcus Hook. under the jurls-
diction of Collector Of Port David S.

william Chandler. deputx collector OF
customs there. was dropped from the

ing.
Mr.. Chandler Is a Republican OF Mill
Creek hundred. is former member &C
the Legislature and has been a deputy
collector of customs for FIVE years. He
has made an excellent official and has
many friends who are sorry to hear
of the change made by the Treasury
Department.
The abolition Of the customs Office at
Marcus Hook is due TO falling off In
the shipments of oil from that place.
A few years ago Marcus Hook was one
Of the greatest oil shipping ports in the
country. A customs officer from Della
ware was always needed there, and tho
export receipts swelled the financial
showing OF the Wilmington Office.
Mr.. Chandler has been customs col
lector there. but in the past eighteen
months there has not ueen a foreign
shipment from the Marcus Hook office.
The Treasury Department at Washing
ton recently sent an agent to investi-
gate. and after finding how oil ship
ments had ceased recommended that
the Marcus Hook office be abolished.
This rule also dropped Mr.. Chandler
from the force. beginning with July 1.

PROBE POISONING
OF PHYSICIAN

BY United Press Leased Special Wlrsss
NEW YORK, July Livery vesseBleAv
ing New York to-day is being closely
watched for the man who Is suspected of
having poisoned Dr. w. II. WILSON, OF
Philadelphia by eynaide of potassium.
coroner's Detective Paul. of Philadelphia,
is here leading the search. Its object is
now said by the authorities to be a well
known business man of Philadelphia, 81
legged 10 have poisoned Wilson in revenge
for HIS wife's death from malpractice. A.
ISOLATED with the husband in the crime
is young and beautiful woman. Who she
is the police Will not reveal any more than
they will the identity of the man. 1t IS
known, however that last Thursday she
called at the Wilson home and left n
card. The police assert that they can put
their hands on her when wanted.
That the slayer Of Wilson covered his
tracks clumsily is evident from the fact
that the Philadelphia police have already
discovered the printer who made the false
label which lured Wilson to drink he
poisoned ale. His identity. is also being
kept secret for the present. erHw
That the physicians assassin. whoever
he was, sought TO protect some one from
exposure is now made certain by evidence
that the Wilson bungalow near Cornwelis
Pa, was ransacked from top to bottom
subsequent to the crime. No ATTEMPT at
robbery was evident but strewing Of
papers about and rifing of desks made Il
certain that discriminating papers OF some
sort were the object OF the search.
In Philadelphia the greatest secrecy Is
being enjoined by the police, and also by
the wife Of the slain man.
Few of Wilson's friends knew he was
a physician. He was known as doc" 10
many but they never considered him as
having practice. Wilson was particular
ly well-known as an automobile enthusiast
being often on the roads in a 5000 car
said to have been presented to him by
Frank Bostoch, the Coney Island animal
