SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 22.— D. H. Coe, manager of the Riverside Water Company's plant at South Colton, was terribly injured after midnight by the ex plosion of a 400-gallon tank of distillate. That he was not instantly killed is re garded as a miracle, and even yet there is a chance of his injuries terminating fatally. Last evening the directors visited the property and were figuring out the prob able expense of running the plant for the next quarter. Coe was directed to meas ure the distillate, and taking a lantern he set it at the edge of the tank and raised the manhole. He was leaning for ward extending a measuring rod into the tank, and his face was directly over the manhole when the explosion occurred. He was . picked up bodily and tossed fully thirty feet. ¦ For over half an hour he lay unconscious. Water Company Official Is Hurled I Thirty Feet and Perhaps Fatally Hurt. MANAGER IS INJURED BY TERRIFIC EXPLOSION LONDOX, Sept. 22. — Four tourists who were climbing Scafell Mountain, in Cumberland, to day, fell from a precipice and were killed. The company goes on in its complaint and recites several mining deals in which Chambers is accused of having fraudu lently obtained large sums of money. Notable among these was the deal con cerning the Afterthought copper proper ty in this county. The company claims it had Chambers go from here to Salt Lake City to secure an option on the Afterthought in a sum. not to exceed $150,000; that he "entered into a conspiracy with W. F. Snyder and one Mitchell," by the conditions of which Snyder took the title to the Afterthought in the sum of $90,000, gave an option to the Great "VVestern at $150,000 and when the company made the first payment of $20,000, Snyder paid $10,000 to the owners of the Afterthought and $10,000 was divid ed among Snyder, Mitchell and Chambers. Several other alleged Irregular trans actions are charged against Chambers. The suit attracts much attention here and probably will have the same result in Salt Lake City, where Snyder is at the head of the Western Exploration Com pany, a prominent mining concern. Chambers says there is no ground for the suit, which he declares to be brought for blackmail.

Roberts,' Suit Against Fresno Democrat on at Madera. MADERA, Sept. 22.— The case of Rob erts vs. the Fresno Democrat Publishing Company was called in the Superior Court here to-day. This action is brought against the newspaper by Dick Roberta, on account of an alleged libel published in the Democrat about the beginning of this year. Plaintiff considers that his reputation was injured to the extent or 575,000. At that time it was said that burglars had broken Into the homes of Roberts and Sheriff Thurman. Young Roberts' gun and hat were found in the home of the Sheriff after an unknown had made his escape. The theory advanced in all the stories that were sent out from Ma dera at the time was that the outlaw had nrst entered the Roberts' home and stolen the articles which he left in the Thur man residence. Some days after the democrat sent a man to Madera and a story .followed which inferred very strongly that Rob erts had himself carried that gun and hat into the Thurmari residence. On this story Roberts bases his suit for dam ages. To-day was spent In securing a jury. . • EXECUTORS PREPARING TO HAVE WILL CONSTBITED Trust Created by Late James Camp bell Will Be Tested in the \ i ) Courts.

R. BAILEY PENSION FRAUD THE ACCUSATION Grafid Commander "Wood of Portland Arrested. Federal Officials Accuse Him of Making False Cer tificates. Special Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Or.. Sept. 22. — Captain Thomas A. Wood, grand commander of the Society of Indian War Veterans of the Northwest and the man who was In strumental In securing the passage of the Indian War Veteran pension bill by Con tress, was arrested by Deputy United States Marshal Proebestel this morning on charges of pension fraud. The arrest was made upon an affidlvlt eworn to by W. A- Pless, special exam iner of pensions, who came out from Washington to Investigate charges against Captain Wood some time ago Of procuring false affidavits and certiflcates in three pension claims. According to the statements of Federal officers, the ac cusation in at least one of the cases is a grave one. It' is understood that the official eye of the pension department has been focused upon Wood for some time, or at least eince there was considerable talk a few veeks ago relative to supposed scandals in connection with the local end of the pension getting process. The list of charges, among other things, alleges that 'Wood assisted In procuring a pension for Rose B. Richards, secur ing the signature of Brazil Grounds as a vitnesa to the eignature of the claimant, inducing him to make affidavit that he •was present when the woman signed her name, when in fact he was not.- Another charge is that in the latter part of July Wood induced Rush Menden hall to sign a blank affidavit which was subsequently used in a pension claim. The affidavit further charges fraud in the procuring of a certificate in the claim of one Mary Prather and that he collected fees In all cases. Wood was arraigned before Commissioner Sladen this morn ing and released on $1000 bonds. His hearing will be had next Tuesday. BOTJETBARY COMMISSION MAY TEAVEL IN AT.ARTTA VANCOUVER, B.
