OIL BARREL SPREADS FIRE IN EXPLOSION Large Part of New Factory Section is Threatened by Flames. TWO MEN OVERCOME Score of Hose Lines Arc Use in Extinguishing the Fire. DnnuKe amounting to $30.000 resulted Lato Friday afternoon when a barrel of turpentine exploded in the lumber yard near Plant of the Stmlebaker factories here, sending a burning spray over 5,0 C 0 square jarels of the lumber storage, which immediately blazed up. A Email tire had started in the shed used to houe paint, and when this reached the barrel of explosive liquid the blaze assumed dangerous proportion?, as a large part of the new section of the factories wad threatened lor u. shurt time. Two men were overcome by the smoke, but these were soon able to go homo without aid. The f.rit alarm was turned in at 4 : 1,5. Hy that time tho tire, had started in a dozen piles of lumber, ami was eating its way under and through them. The second alarm was given, and then tho third.

The tremendous start given the Maze by the exploding liquid, and th piles of heavy timber into which the flames had penetrated made the werk of tho lircmcn difficult. Whole tacks of planks were blazing by the time, hoso Unea could be laid through tho closely piled lumber, .-nd it wa.s necessary to tear these down beforo the flame s could bo extinguished. Many volunteers aided tho fireman as they cut loose with their hose, lines. Outside the lumber yard tho pumpers were increasing the pressure, which but for their ptesenee would have been very low at .such a dhst.'inco from the city pumping station. The dry pine boards blazed furiously at rim, but the onslaught of tho water hnally ubdued them. As soon as the -utsale portions of the lumber piles were extinguished, the boards were pulled out and the stacks Prn apart, after which the boards were soaked with water. Tuddles formed everywhere, as hose lines were used to force boards out from tho piles. Cause Clouds of Smoke.

I'y As-o'Mlted Tress: LOS ANOLLLS. Cal.. July Dh Four severe earthquakes here Friday threw the city and its suburbs '.nto excitement, indirectly causing a number of injuries to men. women and children, and slightly damaged several buildings, chietly old ones, but none to a great extent. While the shocks seemed to center in Los Angeles some of them wer felt more than thirty miles away, but as in this city nj material damage was reported. An unusually warm morning produced from some citizens the remark, "Clood earthquake weather." It was said in jest and none were more surprised than those who made the remark when the first temblor came at 10:10 in the morning. It felt much as does the sudden stopping of a street car operated by an unexperienced motorman, only that tho temblor produced the unpleasant sensation multiplied many times.

Public plarts were scenes of near panic, some people running :or the open air, some fainting. some - PPi to pray. Many gathered at street intersections waltinc t see what would happen.

REPUBLICANS AT LOSS FOR CORONER PLACE ON TICKET Physicians Reluctant to Make Race Through Fear of Democratic Success. Republican leaders of the county are having some difficulty in filling their place on their ticket caused by tho recent death of Dr. Karl P. Wagner, who had no opposition in the May nominating primaries for th- republican nomination for county ccroner. Republican physicians who did not care to oppose lr.
