San Faneisco, Cal, June 29.-Four
were killed and many injured in a dy-
Mantle explosion destroying a grocery
store with upper flats, an adjoining
saloon building, at Cheney and Dla-
mond streets, at 2:15 this morning.
The dead are John Sweeney, a gro
Ger, his wife, Ella Sweeney. a daugh-
ter aged 9 years, baby daughter of b.
S. Dissemeyer, a year old. All lived
over the store.
The windows were shattered in the
whole vicinity.
The police believe the explosion
was the work of criminals. 1t is
thought that former Supervisor James
Gallagher whose property in other
instances has been destroyed by uni
Identified persons, was interested in the
building.
The 9S-year-old son of Sweeney was
blown through a window and so feet
into the yard. He was severely in
jured.
The fronts of the grocery and sa-
loon buildings were blown out.
A fire quickly followed the explo-
sion and the wrecks were partly con-
sumed before the firemen arrived.
All the injured and dead were taken
out.
There is little doubt that the ex-
ploslon was the work of the dyna-
miters who twice blew up property
belonging to Gallagher. who turned
states evidence in the graft prosecu-
ton. The property blown up this
morning was leased by Antoine Diss-
meyer to T. ]. Gallagher, brother Of
the former supervisor.
District attorney Langdon today
requested Chief Biggey to put the
whole detective force at work on the
latest dynamiting outrage.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
said: "This is the most dastardly
outrage yet perpetrated by the agents
of graft"
The police say the explosion was
caused by gasoline and kerosene III

TOMORROW IS LAST DAY FOR SALOONS

E Unless the pending trial of the pro-
hibition vote In Umatilla county re-
suits in favor Of the saloonmen to-
morrow, the 20 saloons Of Pendleton
will close at midnight, tomorrow
night, Tuesday, June 80, 1908, per-
haps never to open again.
The liquor case will be settled to-
morrow and If the issue should be
decided in favor of the saloonmen, OF
course the saloons will remain open,
but otherwise they will be closed at
the beginning Of July l. 1908, accord
ing to the law Of Oregon and the ball
lots of the people of Umatilla- coun-
ty.
Already about live saloons which
were In operation at the time the vote
was taken on the prohibition ques-
ton on June 1, have suspended, leav-
ing 20 in operation today
Those who are conducting the %
saloons of this city are as follows:
Bogart & Keegan. Il, L. Matlock,
George Darveau. Jos. p. Sullivan ca,

Schultz, william Hoch, o. Degn,
Thomas w. Murrell and Paul Hemel-
garn.
But few of those engaged in the
business here will leave the city inn
mediately. Most of them have much
of their liquor stock left on hand and
many Of them have homes and will
remain here, some of them perman-
emily. Already about six of the sa-
loon buildings have been engaged or
partially engaged for other enter
prises and It Is estimated that with
in three or four months every place
vacated by saloon will be occupied
by some other business.
Today an enormous business has
been done by all of the saloons in
the city, many people evidently fell
ing that 1t is good time to lay in a
supply OF liquors for home use The
saloons have all sold large quantities
of case and bottled goods today and
a large var business has also been
done, the drinkers taking advantage
OF the "last day" to celbrate.
A number Of the saloons of the city
will have sold out most of the stock
of case goods by tomorrow night,
judging from the activity OF the
sales today.

electric car at Kern park on the Mount

mass.
GLAND Jackson 16 years old, while

GLOOMY OUTLOOK IN TEHERAN.
Starving Soldiers Commit Many Acts
of Violence.

London, June PA dispatch to
the Times from Teheran paints a
gloomy picture of the situation. 1t
says that general uncertainty exists
and that the feeling of insecurity is
increasing. The people are driven to
despair and the half-famished SOL
diers eager for loot, commit flagrant
acts of violence and plunder. Mean
while the rebel camp is increasing in
strength and is said now to number
10000 men. General Liakoff is the
master of the situation and is ruling
as an absolute Independent viceroy.
The shah. the dispatch concludes,
seems to have no program for the fu-
ture administration of the countryS .

county will produce a normal wheat
crop this year is declared by farmers

Hang-Appeal Not Probable.
After S5 minutes deliberation the
jury in the case of Bud Barnes re-
turned a verdict of guilty of murder
in the first degree in the superior court
at Walla Walla late Saturday night.
The plea of insanity introduced by
Barnes attorneys was ignored by the
jury The defense rested its case at
4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, when
the arguments began:
When o'clock came Judge Brents
adjourned court for an hour, an
nouncing that a night session would
be held.
The arguments and instructions to
the jury were concluded at 9:15. At
$50 the verdict Of guilty was re-
turned. Neither Barnes nor his wife,
who has been with him constantly
during the trial, showed any emotion.
Before being returnd to the county
Jail Barnes kissed his wife good night.
A crowd of 1000 people filled the
court room and long after court ad-
journed hundreds stood about the jail
discussing the trial.
Barnes will probably be sentenced
some time next week. AS he is with
out funds It is doubtful II his case will
be appealed to the superior court.
