demand for indemnity. in addition to

Collectors Report
The. story Of the safe conducts came
from Collector Cobb at El Paso, whose
dispatch repeated a statement by a
person connected with one Of the
companies operated in Chihuahua"
The statement said that before de-
parture of the Americans from Chi
huahua he had been told by G. r.
Watson, head Of the party and one
Of those killed. that the trip had been
arranged after Carranza authorities
had given Watson a personal passport
and had issued a general passport for
the others. Watson. it was said. had
been assured in addition by the au-
thorities that no military escort was
necessary in that region.
The general disposition Of State de-
partment officials is to regard this
story as difficult Of proof T. H.
Holmes, the only survivor of the par
ty, has advised the department that if
any safe conduct were granted it was
without his knowledge.

HIS CHECKBOOK STOPS
 FLIGHT OF BULLET

San Francisco, Aug. 15-Of all the remarkable escapes from death or in- jury when the San Francisco bomb stands at the top. It was check book which Derrick carried in his coat pocket that saved hsm.
 Derrick was directly opposite the bomb when it exploded. Men were maimed or killed on all sides of lhim. He was marching in the parade with the members of Company K, First California volunteers. The civil war veterans had wheeled into Market street and Detrick's company, behind them, had formed into columns of fours Derrick was on the side near est the bomb. On his right was his brother, Henry l.. Derrick.
 One of the steel jacketed bullets of the bomb struck Derrick on the right side, tore a hole in his coat, struck the checkbook in his coat pocket and caromed off. Derrick was not aware that he had been hit and did not know of it until a friend asked him how he tore rent in his coat. Yak ing out the papers from his coat poe ket, Derrick then discovered that the belief had broken the stiff cover of the book and had cut. as by a knife blade. the twenty-five checks remain ing in. the book. The bullet also tore a letter placed between the book and Detrick's body. At home that night Detrick discovered small blue mark on his side.
