Off with Men in
Pit
Special to The Herald.

SAN BERNARDINO, June 6.-Only
meager details have reached this city
of frightful accident which occurred
this morning about 10 o'clock at the
Bright & Drew camp in Little Bear
valley, where the Arrowhead dam is

off, killing one man and seriously lnJur-
ing several others.
The dead man was a Mexican named
Francisco Herrera. The injured include
n. H. Estes of this city, craneman on
the steam shovel, and three Mexicans
whose names could not be secured over
the telephone line, which was working
badly. Estes face was cut and his
teeth were knocked loose.
The blast was set off by drill strlk-
ing a lower blast that had failed to go
off. The workmen had intended to put
in a second shot to discharge the hrst,
but operated too close to the old charge.
A large rescue party was quickly at
the pit, as soon as it was satlsned that
no more blasts would follow, and the
mangled bodies of the injured were
rapidly removed to the camp, where
they were attended by the camp physl-
clan and made as comfortable as possl-
BILE.
The nature of the injuries of the three
MeXicans could not be learned, but they
are said to be quite SERIOUS, anu II 10
possible that at least two of them Will
die.
Estes was injured about the face ana
head by the flying pieces of rock, be-
ing badly cut, but his injuries VIII not
be fatal.
Many of the workmen received sllgnt
cuts and bruises from the Tying rock
and dirt, and the wonder is that many
more were not killed outrlght or serl-
ously injured. -, $3.50

the valley, which is thirty miles dis
tant from this city, with the BODY Oh
the dead man and all of the injured, 10

The Hague, whose name l do not now

attorney for this district to TESTIFY III
the case, but the minister declined 10
accede to the attorneys request. lie
had been a witness to the occurrence III
the hotel dining room and, with the
exception of a friend OF Mr.. HERBERT
was the only witness. However, the
minister declined to go to the court and
give evidence, on grounds of interna-
tional law, but he would go to the
state department, he said, and testify
to the truth in the matter. Mr.. Marcy,
who was then the secretary of state,
did not like the position taken by the
minister, and accordingly requested
the American minister at The Hague
to refer 1t to the minister of foreign
affairs at that capital. All the MEM
bers of the diplomatic corps in this
city took sides with the minister from
The Hague The result of all the cor
respondence, etc., was that the minis
ter did not testify In the case.
There came near being a duel be-
tween two well known lawyers of this
city during the course of proceedings
in the Herbert trial. One of these gem
tlemen was Daniel Radcliffe and the
other Walter Lenox. Lenox at one
time had been mayor of this city. Both
were rather hot headed and both fa-
vored the duelo in certain circum-
stances. They had war of words In
the courtroom and the lie was passed.
Now among certain class of gentle-
men in this community that meant u
fight at that period. These prominent
lawyers actually did have a collision
In the courtroom, but were separated.
Before arrangements for a meeting on
the field of honor, however, both were
arrested and required to give bonds
not to engage in a duel.
"There were other sensational events
about this time, one of which was a
difficulty between Mr. Sherman, after
ward Senator Sherman of Ohio, and a
Mr.. Wright of Tennessee, both dis
tinguished members of the house of
representatives. Sherman threw Il
batch of waters in Wright's face, and
the Tennesseean made an attempt to
strike his opponent There were wide
spread rumorS of duel to be the OUT
come of this, but the reported meeting
was a flash in the pan. In fact, there
was no challenge from either of the
gentlemen.
ut was in this same year that Pres
ident Pierce refused to further recog-
nize Mr. Champion as the British min
lister. because as II was declared, her
majesty's government was endeavoring
to recruit soldiers in the United States
sia. There was naturally then much
excitement, but diplomacy managed to
settle the difficulty peacefully
Altogether" remarked the old in
habitant, as he concluded talking, "the
year 1856 was full of great events. You
will all recollect that Mr. Buchanan
was elected president in that year."
