FOUR BADLY BURNED
BY TANK EXPLODING
FEARFUL. ACCIDENT OCCURS
ABOARD STEAMER
Chief Engineer of San Gabriel En-.
veloped In Flames, Jumps Over
board, and Mate Receives
FrlghtfuI Injuries
Especial to The Herald

SAN PEDRO, Sept. 19.-By the ex-
plosion of an oil tank on board the
steamer San Gabriel, unloading lumber
at the Kerckhoff-Cuzner Mill and
Lumber company's wharf at Boske $
island on the inner harbor at 1O:4O
o'clock this morning, Chief Engineer
Hans Olsen and Mate Peter Kendall
were frightfully burned about the head,
mack and hands and Chris Siegel and
Fritz Johnson were also seriously
burned.
The mate and engineer were engaged
in filling the tank, located ait OF the
afterhold, and the longshoremen were
unloading lumber near the aftercabln.
The explosion came without mo-
ments warning, blowing off the com
panionway and stairs, the stairway be-
ing found about twenty feet away on
the wharf.
Engineer Olsen, enveloped in flames,
jumped overheard, but was soon res
cued. The rest of the men were able
to escape, but not before the flames
had seriously burned them.
The fire on the boat was Immediately
put out and the men carried to the
office of the company, where Manager
John Elliott and Charles Powers gave
valiant assistance pending the ARRIVAL
of medical help.
Siegel was taken in a buggy, to
Stones drug store on Front street. His
wounds were dressed by Dr. Blance
Bolton. Later he was removed to his
home.
DR.. w. A. Weldon, marine surgeon,
arrived at the lumber yard office soon
after the explosion occurred and did
all that was possible to relieve the suf-
ferings of the stricken men.
1t was thought best later to remove
them to the Marine hospital In Los
Angeles, where it was arranged to have
an ambulance meet the p. m. express
car on the Pacific Electric.
1t is not known exactly how the ex-
plosion occurred, several views being
advanced by members of the San Ga
briefs crew. The filling of the tank
caused gas to be formed, and this gas
undoubtedly became ignited. but as to
whether by a spark from a pipe, by
one of the men stepping on a match
or by oil waste causing spontaneous
combustion is not known. An official
investigation will be made.
The San Gabriel Is owned by the
Kerckhoff- Gunner Mill and Lumber
company and carries lumber from the
Gardiner mills, on Umpqua river, to
this port.
Captain Charles Green feels this &C
cident keenly, as 1t follows the death
of a mate last December and an acci-
dent to his assistant engineer the early
part Of the year.

HOUSE BURGLARIzED

ROBBERS GAIN ENTRANCE BY

Wedding Present Valued at $500 Is

Especial to The Herald.1

SANTA MONICA, Sept. ia dar-
ing daylight robbery was perpetrated
at the residence of e. w. Boehme, 9S3
Ocean avenue, yesterday between 1880
O'Clock in the forenoon and noon. The
robber gained an entrance by breaking
the glass in side door, reaching in
side and turning the key.
Mrs. Boehme left the house at about
half-past 10 to visit the dressmaker,
and on her return just before noon
entered and a large quantity OF valu-
able jewelry stolen.
Mrs. Boehme regrets particularly the
loss of magnificent pearl set, we'd
ding present from her husband. Its
value is estimated at close to $500. I'M
cluded In the set was a heavy gold
cross containing forty-nine pearls, g.
bracelet studded with pearls, ring set
with five pearls and a heart and four
pins, all set with the same precious
stones.
In addition to the above list tur-
quoise pin, corral pin, a plain gold
heart and Mr.. Boehmes purse con-
tanning about $50 in money were taken
by the thieves.
There is absolutely no clew to the
perpetrators of the crime, but it Is
supposed that 1t was committed by the
same persons who broke into the house
of G.. Wiley Wells, 1916 Second street,
about two weeks ago. At that time
pins, q watch and q sum of
money were taken. Since then the
watch has been recovered at a Los An,
geles pawnshop. but no trace Of those
who pledged the booty has been OBJ
tanned.

Brief Notes and Comments
Considerable interest is being mani
tested here over the report from Will
mington that the Banning company is
to give the people of Wilmington an
outing tomorrow at Catalina island.
Whatever the motive may be that In
spires this invitation for free ride on
one of Southern California's most de-
lightful excursion trips, people are
wondering if perhaps some day San
Pedro will not be asked to take zen
masse" this same delightful trip.
The real estate agents were to have
held a meeting yesterday morning to
perfect their contemplated real estate
exchange, but owing to several of the
agents being very busy at the meet
ing time it was thought best by Chair
man Ferl to postpone action until next

The Sauk Centre herald., 1908-07-23

Thursday afternoon of last week was
the worst one to endure, from the
weather standpoint, of any experience
ed in Sauk Centre this season. The
heat was something terrifc-the mer-
curry registering IS in the shade at 8
O'Clock in the afternoon. The per-
centage of humidity in the air was
high, making fealmost unendurable.
The temperature fell during the night
and Friday was better. Friday night
there was a heavy rain and since then
the weather has been delightful.
There were two showers Friday after
noon during which hail fell on the
west side of Sauk lake, doing some
damage. w. O. P. Hifsdale, who has
cottage over there, says his garden
stuff was knocked fiat by the hail.
Such damage was merely local. Crops
generally are in fine condition and
the outlook is excellent for an abund-
ant harvest.

THEY MAKE GOOD A QUIET WEDDING
Howard and BartO Give the Best
of Satisfaction
INDIANS ARE PLEASED
Former Sauk Centre Citizens Receive
Compliments for Their Work at
White Earth

Hon. John R. Howard and Attorney
L. R. Barto, former residents of
Sauk Centre, have made good as agent
and clerk on the White Earth In
dian reservation. Everybody who
knows them felt positive that they
would fill their new positions salts
factorily to all concerned. The fol-
lowing tribute to the ability and faith
fulness of the two gentlemen in ques-
ton was printed in the ''Tomahawk,"
weekly newspaper pblished on the
reservation, nder date of July 16:
1T is very hard for the department
at Washington to tell whether the
employees of the Indian office are
doing their full duty or not. If an
Indian agent does his work quietly
and without any friction with any
of the Indians under him, it is pref
ty good evidence that he is all right.
This is the experience which the
Indians on this reservation are now
having.
Major Howard is very unostenta-
tious in his manner of doing busi-
ness. but all the Indians, and par
ticularly the full bloods, who have
been thrown in contact with him
spe.k x very highly of his kindness and
patience with them in hearing what
ever they may have to say. When
ever the agent is absent, the chief
clerk, Mr.. Barto, shows as much con-
sideration to the Indians as the
agent does.
A majority of the old full blood
Indians are as ignorant of business
methods as children, and it is for
this reason they show so much ap-
probation of the kindness which the
agents office now shows them in
making such explanations as they de
sire concerning their personal affairs.
and there is no doubt that as long
as he is here, and they will take
his advice, the agent will at least
caution them against squander1ng
their property"
