]. C. Powell at Riverside
Cement Works

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 25.-J. c. Powell,
powder man for the Riverside Portland
Cement company, was badly mangled
by a premature blast today, and it is
doubtful If he will survive. Shortly
after o'clock this morning he was
preparing a preliminary blast in the
rock quarry to clear away a boulder
for the drill. Six and half sticks of
dynamite had been placed in a seam
of the rock, when the helper was sent
to the powder house for some caps. The
helper had proceeded about twenty
rods when he heard an explosion. Look
ing back he saw the body of Powell in
the air. The mangled form came down
among the rocks forty feet distant
Both eyes were blown out, six ribs
broken and other injuries suffered. 1t
is presumed the dynamite was set off
by a particle of rock falling into the
crevice. A Crestmore electric car
brought the injured man in to town at
top speed, the three miles being covered
in ten and one-half minutes.
