THREE RANCHAEH KILLED
Premature Explosion of Charge of
Dynamite on Spreckles Estate
Near Sonoma. Cal.

Sonoma. Cal. Oct. ia frightful &C
cident occurred today on the Rudolph
Spreckles ranch, four miles from town.
in which three men lost their lives by
the premature explosion of a charge of
dynamite The dead are:
L. d. Crane, formerly of San Francisco
the foreman of the ranch
Herbert Wright of Santa Rosa and a
man by the name of Alfred.
1t appears the men were engaged in
blasting out 600-fOot 12-inch well mile
from the ranch house About 10 o'clock
a loud explosion was heard by other en-
ployes, but no attention was paid to It.
as it was known that Foreman Crane and
his companions We're blasting out the
well. When the noon hour arrived the
three men failed to show up at dinner
and a search was instituted for them
Upon arriving at the well. the searchers
discovered Foreman Crane and his two
companions lying dead and frightfully
mutilated about the upper part of their
bodies. The men lay from eight to fiji
teen feet from the well. where they had
been blown by the force of the explo-
sion.
AS the mems faces were blackened and
mutilated almost beyond recognition, it is
surmised that they were looking down
into the well while lowering a 100 pound
charge of dynamite into the same. and
that it prematurely EMPLOYED by coming
IN contact with the side of the well ten
or fifteen feet from the surface.

JURY LOCKED UP
ON COURT ORDER
Witnesses Under Surveillance
of Secret Service Men-ln-
cidents of Morse Trial.

New York. Oct 15--In the trial of
Charles W. Morse. the banker and pro-
1noteP who came to grief in the finan-
cial panic of last year, and Alfred H.
Curtis, former president of the National
Bank of North America. which began
today before Judge Hough and a federal
jury. it developed that the jury will be
locked up each night and placed under
the guard of deputy United States mar
shals and that all of the governments
material witnesses have been under the
surveillance of secret service operatives
and that they will be closely watched all
during the trial.
The lawyers for the defense expressed
and shadowing of witnesses, saying such
a procedure was without precedent in this
city in cases similar to the one on trial,
and that it reflected upon the lawyers
for the defense.
While the jurors did not express dis
satisfaction at the order which prevented
them from going to their homes. they
were evidently displeased, for the trial will
drag along for at least six weeks, ac-
cording to lawyers for both sides.
Much interesting testimony was brought
out today. The introduction in evidence
of d power of attorney from Mr.. Morse
to his secretary, Miss Katherine Wilson,
empowering her to sign checks, accept
drafts and handle his account in the Ma
tional Bank of North America, was con-
sidered important by the prosecution. A
check for 100000 credited to the bank and
charged to the account of Mr.. Morse was
also put in evidence.

Senator Dolliver Gets No Applause at
Reno for His Attack Upon
the Almighty.

Reno. New, Oct Ex-senator Dolliver
of Iowa declared tonight before an au-
dience here that God made the trusts and
that God would be responsible for their
regulation. His remarks on the subject
of the trusts received little applause. and
the many Democrats in the audience
smiled broadly when the import of the
senator's remarks dawned upon them.
Senator Dolliver said III part:
Trusts are governed not by statute
but by the laws God made for the pro-
lection of his own people. The laws of
God are equal to the task Of regulating
the growth OF the trusts"
Citing the law of maximum consump-
ton, Doliver said that it was TO the in
terest of the trust to make prices low.
