Of flames.
A circus three blocks distant was
about to open for the afternoon per-
Torrance. The explosion and the fire
caused the showmen to lower the
tents after dispensing the crowd
which had assembled. The herd Of
elephants became uncomfortable and
they dashed to the EAST side of the
town, knocking down fences, out
houses and despoiling orchards that
lay in their path. Many persons mar
rowly escaped the Infatuated animals.
In a short time, however, all but the
largest of the elephants was rounded
up.
Leader Heads for City.
The leader of the herd then changed
his course and entered the center of
the city, n mile distant. He en-
tered the court of the Glenwood hotel,
one of the famous hostelries of the
coast. Miss Gibbs was in the yard in
front of the house. The elephant
pinned her against the house between
his tusks, threw her to the ground
and trampled upon her, crushing her
chest so that she died at 10 o'clock
Thursday night. The animal then

shop and out on the main street,
crossed the street and crashed

One of the keepers attempted to
subdue the animal, but was hurled

plants were brought to the stable was
the huge beast gotten under control
and taken to the circus grounds.

ARcHBoLD LOSES MEMORY.
~ Don't know"-"1 Don't Think SO"
-"Maybe," He Answers.

New York, N. Y.-John d. Arch
bold, vice-president Of the Standard
Oil Co., lost his memory when he was
taken over for cross-examination on
Tuesday by Frank N. Kellogg, special
counsel for the government in the suit
to dissolve the corporation on the
ground that it is operating in restraint
of trade. :
81 don't know" II don't think SOL
Il don't remember" Not to my
knowledge" Not so far as l know
Perhaps. but am not positive" Il
did not say that, exactly" I
These are typical replies given by
Archbold when Kellogg began to grill
him.
Archbold was a most willing wit
ness under direct examination. Under
cross-examination he was first ques-
toned about his connection with the
Standard and its subsidiary corpora
tions. Asked II he was a leading OFF,
cial Of the Standard. Mr.. Archbold re.
piled that he was an active" one. /

New York.-The manenr in which
more than 70 corporations were
gulped down the Unsuitable nav Of the
Standard Oil trust was related with
out a tinge of emotion by John d
Archbold, vice-president of the Stand
ard Oil Co. of New Jersey, who is
making the fight of his life to justify
the piratical operations Of the worlds
greatest combination, in the hearing
before United States Commissioner
Ferriss.
Incidentally, the relationship be.
tween the Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey and the Waters-Pierce Oil Co.,
which is now being attacked in an
custer suit in the state Of Texas, was
established beyond question.

suit, ordered a Thanksgiving adjourn.
ment.
Archbold dealt with the more re-
cent, and, for the purpose Of the suit,
perhaps, the more important years of
Standard Oil development. The gov
e%rn1nent's counsel were on hand with
an unusual showing of documents and
exhibits for the purpose of checking
up the witness account.
The hearing did not begin until half
an hour after the usual time, as Nor
itz Rosenthal spent his Thanksgiving
in Chicago and could not change the
railroad time table.
Rosenthal is the Standard Oil coun.
sci who is deftly leading Archbold in
direct explanation along a pathway
that Frank B. Kellogg, the govern
ment's chief counsel, says is plentiful
ly beset with pitfalls.
Room Well Filled.
Though by no means the drawing
card that John D. Rockefeller proved
himself to be during his five days en-
gagement on Judge Ferriss' witness
stand, Archbold is attracting. a very
large crowd, and the room on the fifth
floor of the new custom house is well
filled.
There is just a possibility that
Rockefeller may play a brief return
engagement, as Kellogg reserved the
right to examine him further. If he
is not recalled, William Rockefeller
probably will take the stand after
Archbold finishes. The present wit
ness may not get through for a week
or more.

Pittsburg, Pa.-The model mine of
the world has proven a failure and
probably 140 men are dead beneath
its wreckage as the result Of an ex-
p%losion. Officials of the Pittsburg-
Buffalo company which owns the mine
say there are only 1876 men in the mine
but workmen who have come from
down in the works, declare there are
at least 200 dead bodies down in the
bottom of the pit. The mine was in
spected less than an hour before the
explosion.
The slight hope hat some of the
entombed miners will be rescued alive
was strengthened when an American
miner was brought to the surface,
suffering only a little from his terrible
experience. One of the rescuing par
ty reported that there were other
men alive below and then rescuers
were set to work clearing away the
debris. From the condition Of the
workings where the survivor was dis
covered, Deputy State Mine Inspector
Henry Loutitt believes hat 20 others
may be saved.
There is no telling who the victims
are. The majority Of them are Eng
disappearing men. Some of them are
Polish and Slavish. Until the bodies
are brought out the company will per-
NIT no names to be given out.
Unlike other mine explosions in the
Pittsburg district, this n did not
occur away under some high hill
sight for days. The Mariana mines
all of them, are just in course of con-
struction, and all that has been done
was the driving of the entries.
This was pay day and the men we're
to have been through work at noon.
They were busy driving entries and
none of them were more than 400 feet
from the mouth of the shaft, This
would have made the work of rescue
comparatively easy had it not been
for the terribly destructive force OF
the explosion.
Ten Of the bodies were recovered In
the main entry and at the foot Of the
shaft, awaiting the temporary cage
to bring them to the surface.
Others were lying in the 20 rooms
or workings Of the mine, entrance to
which is still blocked by debris.
The first rescuing party worked its
way through the wreckage at the foot
of the shaft and almost Immediately
found the ten bodies.

LION TRAINER IN PERIL.
Animal Bites Mans Thumb Nearly
OFF While on Stage.

Kansas City.-It was a pure
exhibition of nerve that probably
saved the life of Capt. Cordova at the
H%ippodrome when the trained lions at.
tackled him and almost severed the
thumb on his right hand.
Few in the audience who were
watching Cordova and his trained
lions knew what had happened, for he
finished the act, remaining in the cage
fully five minutes.
The attack was made while Cordova
was eating at a table with three lions.
He was feeding the raw meat to his
animals when one seized him and held
his hand in its teeth. He remained
calm until the beast released him.
The other lions didn't attack him.
