He was on the street the early part of
last week and those who knew that he
was ailing were unaware that his con-
dition was serious
Mr.. Goodwin was taken suddenly ill
Wednesday evening and, as his wife is
former Christian Science practitioner
no physician other than one of that
persuasion was called until early this
morning, when it was apparently too
late. 1t is thought that congestion of
the lungs, affecting the heart, was the
cause of death.
Mr. Goodwin came to Southern Cali
fornia % years ago from New
buryport, Mass, where he was born
SO years ago. He came Ito Hollywood
seven years ago and opened up the
first real estate office IN this territory
He worked hard to push the proposed
city forward, and after the boom set in
sold a large amount of real estate,
from which he derived a fortune. He
is survived by widow.
While he had always been active in
promoting the city's interests Mr.
Goodwin had never sought office until
a year ago, when he was elected as
city treasurer. He was held in high
esteem by all who knew him and his
loss will be deeply felt
Funeral services will be held Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock from the
undertaking parlors of the Council

DYNAMITE CAPS TEAR
THROUGH MANS BODY
Injured Man Died Thirteen Hours
After Accident, Although He
Had Been Nearly Killed
by Explosion

SAN BERNARDINO, March 3d.
The coroner's inquest over the body
of Trinidad Garcia, fatally injured In
the Cotton lime quarries Friday, dis
closes the most shocking accident
which has ever come under the juris-
diction of that ice.
1t seems that Garcia was some dis
tance in the tunnel, seated on rock,
with the box of dynamite caps in his
lap. While crimping the caps on
pieces of fuse, 1t is evident he pressed
too hard on one of them, which ex-
ploded. This caused the entire box of
caps to explode, with a terrific report,
fairly driving the contents of the box
through the mans body, tearing its
way into his intestines.
Notwithstanding the awful injury
Garcia was able to crawl to the en-
trance of the tunnel, where he col
lapsed. He lived thirteen hours after
the accident.
The mans wife recently eloped with
another Mexican, leaving her two lit
tie children to be cared for by her
