KICKED Out Of Bed bx EeIs.

Plainsmen who tell of being awak-
ened by the wh-i-r-r of rattlesnake
which has crawled over the blanket
and snuggled up confidently on the
sleeper's chest could sympathize with
four Midland Beach campers-vater
WagonerS, on their honor-Who were
literally kicked out of bed by cells.
Confederation of the sleep-destroy-
ing tragedy can be had from Joseph
Browne, private secretary to Robert
Lavrie, Lloyds insurance commits
sioner; Walter Balzer. a chauffeur;
John Moser, a salesman for H. B.
Claf1in & Co., and John Quirk, an en-
ploye in the New York Stock ex-
change. They don't boast of their ex-
perience; in fact, they are trying to
forget 1t, and hereafter they will shake
the sheets before retiring.
When they entered their tent Friday
night they refrained from lighting a
candle because they didn't want to
brighten any GOODNESS that lurked in
the tent. Tired out, they jumped into
their cots and soon were sound asleep.
Browne awoke with a cry of horror.
1t was echoed by Balzer. Moser and
Quirk. Brown said later he dreamed
that hydra-headed sea serpent came
up from the shore wrapped about four
| fathoms of tail around his ankle, and
tried to drag him into the water. Free
| ing himself, he was about to climb a
tree when another serpent lassoed his
arm. Then he awoke. Something was
gripping both his arms and leg. 1t
wasn't dream. He wished it had
beer.
| The cots occupied by his three COM
panions were creaking with their. ex-
ertions. All four were soon battling
desperately in the dark with most
| elusive foes. Some one lit a candle
/ and it was seen then that the cots
were full of agile cells.
In explanation of the mystery OF
how the cells got there, the campers
recalled the threat of a boatman with
whom they had differed over charges
He said he would get even with them
They admit he did, if he was the per.
son who filed the cots with eels.-NeN

she found the turkey sitting on a nest
of eggs that had been laid several
weeks ago. The gobbler was weak
from his long vigil, but showed fight
when he was molested. Some of the

said she never heard of such a thing
before, and records in Washington

0 O'DONNELL
WITH DIAMOND BADGE
Assistant Fire Chief Given Shield
After Being Badly Scared
by Commission

No surprise party was ever carried
out with greater effect than a funny
little stunt the fire commission accom-
plished yesterday with Assistant Fire
Chief George O'Donnell as the victim.
O'Donnell returned the first of the
week from a visit of sixty days to his
old home in Boston. incidentally, on
his way east, he was to examine power
driven fire apparatus. and report his
conclusions. But there was no report.
There was not word in the records
of the fire commission even to show
that O'Donnell had so much as looked
at an automobile fire engine. What sort
of punishment could beft such neglect
of duty on the part of an official so
high in the department?
The fire commission held a long eX-
ecutive session and finally cited O'Don-
nell to appear before it yesterday morn
ing to show cause why he should not
be dismissed from the service. When
O'Donnell received the citation he was
thunderstruck. He hunted for Chief
Eley, but the chief had hidden himself
and could not be found. Then he got
hold of Battalion Chiefs Casey and
But he appeared before the commits
sion, and with voice trembling with
mingled excitement and indignation de-
clared he had had no orders to report
to the commission on automobile appa-
ratus, but that he had made regular
reports to the chief.
Commissioner Hawley quizzed O'Don-
nell with as straight face as he could
assume, and then the commission in
structed the mayor to discipline the
recreant assistant chief.
Mayor Alexander ordered O'Donnell
to stand up and take his punishment.
The mayor said O'DonnelPs record as
assistant chief in the fire department
had been excellent. and that it was
difficult for the commission to admin
lister punishment, but that it had to be
done for the good of the service. Then
the mayor pinned diamond-studded
shield on O'DonnelPs coat.
The criticism was all josh, but 1t
was carried out with so much apparent
earnestness that not until it was all
over did ODonnell understands; and
when he did he simply wilted, and it
was fully ten minutes before he could
say a word, and then his thanks came
in a trembling voice.
The shield was gift from members
of the department.

BABE SWALLOWS POISON;
IS SAVED FROM DEATH

Escaping the vigilance of her mother
long enough to swallow portion of
some poison which she had found, Jes
sic Goldberg, 10-month-old daughter
of ]. T. Goldberg, 621 East First street
narrowly escaped dying yesterday aft
ernOon.
The baby, after playing in the dining
room of the house where it's mother
was sewing, crawled into the kitchen,
where it found a package of poison. 1t
was not more than a minute before the
child had swallowed a portion of the
poison. The mother, hearing the babys
groans, ran to her side, and picking her
up rushed to the receiving hospital
After almost an hour of efforts on the
part of one of the assistant police sur
geons the child was revived and pro-
nounced out of danger

DYNAMITE SPLITS
MOUNTAIN LEDGES
Thirty Thousand Pounds of EX-
ploSive Used in Big Blast
South of Corona
TONS OF ROCK SCATTERED
Formation of Adjoining Hills Is
Changed, and Wide FiSSureS
Left Near the Quarry
TONS OF ROCK SCATTERED

Thirty thousand pounds of dyna-
mite, the largest single blast ever set
off in Southern California, yesterday
morning blew UP solid mountain of
slate clay at Fleming, five miles south
of Corona. When the dust and pow
der smoke cleared away from the spot
where a moment before the explosion
stood the huge hill, a crumbling and
caving mass of broken clay quarter
of a mile in area was exposed to view.
The clay deposit is the property Of
the California Portland Cement COM
pany, the headquarters of which are
in Los Angeles. To facilitate the
uuarrying the company conceived the
idea to set off a great shot. Experts who
witnessed the explosion and went over
the ground afterwards estimate that
100000 carloads of clay were shaken
loose and can be loaded with ease.
The clay is used in the making of
cement at the company's big plant
at Cotton.
In the one blast that tore the noun
tain asunder, $4,000 worth of powder
was burned, and it cost an additional
$1,000 to place the charge.
EXPLOSION SHAKES HILLS
The explosion shook the hills for
miles in every direction. The ground
upon which the officials of the COM
pany, newspaper men and photog-
raphers stood heaved as If during an
earthquake shock. The party was sta
toned a quarter of a mile from the
hill, as a matter of precaution. When
the powder man touched the electric
button that set off the shot, the noun
tain rose and then fell back and
crumbled to pieces. The explosion was
a deep rumbling roar.
The charge was distributed in the
cross-cuts of a 100-foot tunnel, driven
into the face of the cliff, and the ex-
posive was so we'll placed that, al
though the entire mountain was blown
into atoms, hardly a fragment fell
onto the Santa F'e main line less than
100 feet away. The railroad company
had hundred track men on the scene
ready to be pressed into service in
case the hill toppled over the track.
A sidetrack was buried beneath tons
of clay.
BLAST LEAVES FIsSURES
For nearly a thousand feet from the
tunnel, immense fissures, six to ten
feet wide, We're left by the blast. In
many places the formation on ad
joining hill was changed.
Dan Murphy president, and T. j.
Fleming, secretary and general man
ager, of Los Angeles, were at the
scene with other officials. H. G.
Rogers, the veteran powder expert of
the Giant Powder company Consoli-
dated of California, was in charge of
the blast. J. e. Strock, assistant su-
perintendent of the company of Col
ton, had supervision of the preparing
of the blast.
The clay deposit at Fleming, owned
by the California Portland Cement
company, is the largest in the United
States, 1t is claimed. Instead of be-
inT in lodges, as is the general forma-
tion, the deposit is a solid mountain,
less than / per cent, 1t is said, be-
ing of foreign substances.

HOTEL ROBBER TELLS
OF OTHER BURGLARIES
Caught in Attempts to Steal
Freeman Was Twice
Allowed to Go

With an aged mother working at
dressmakng to secure enough money
to employ an attorney to defend him,
Robert Freeman, the 20-year-old youth
who attempted to commit suicide Mon
day afternoon when he was caught
rifling rooms in the Hotel Alvarado at
Alvarado and West Sixth street, Ian
guishes in the city Jail while police de-
tectives are securing more evidence
against him.
Freemans mother, who lives at 1924
South Figueroa street, is heart broken
over the arrest of her son.
Il don't know what has taken hold
of him. He was always such a good
boy" she told the detectives when they
called to see her. He learned the
trade of an electrician and 1 had hoped
that he would work hard and make
something of himself, but l see he
hasn't" she continued as her eyes
filled with tears.
Since being in Jail Freeman has told
the officers of other jobs he has done.
He stated that August % he broke into
the rooms of e. Armstrong at 1864
West Seventh street and stole a re-
Volver Several days later he effected
an entrance to the Balboa apartments
at 1927 West Seventh stret and was
prowling around the halls when dis
covered by a Ioomer. Freeman started
to run but was caught and overpow-
cred. The revolver he had stolen from
the rooms of Armstrong was found in
his possession and taken away from
him and the boy allowed to go.
Freeman thought he would take an
other chance, and the following day,
before he went to the Alvarado hotel,
he visited the Bimini hotel at Bimini
springs. He succeeded in stealing so
from a room there, but was caught
coming out Of the room and ordered to
return the money, which he did, again
securing his release. 1t was after
leaving here that he went to the AL
varado hotel and was arrested.
Freeman talks freely of the charge
against him and states he has no de-
sire to withhold anything from the Of
ficers, although he refuses to divulge
the whereabouts of his partner.
"I met this fellow several weeks ago
in the Los Angeles theater," he said.
He told me he was out of work and
1 told him that l wasn't doing any
thing either. He then told me how
easy it would be for him and me to
go and rob people"
Freeman was arraigned before Police
Judge Williams yesterday and his pre-
liminary hearing set for next Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock.
Accompanied by Detective Louis
Rico, Freeman was taken to the Bal
boa apartments and the Bimini hotel
yesterday and positively identified, and
the stories he told confirmed. 1t is
believed that his partner will be ap-
pretended in a few days as the detec-
lives are in possession of a CleW which
they feel confident will result in his
capture.
