BAKEE SCENE OF ACCIDENTS AND
' MURDERS.
Lust Fatal Accident Marked by Strange
Actions of Pet Dog.
A long string of suicides, murders,
accidental drownings and- various
means of' death has marked' BakeV
hlBtory the pastory the pa3t two or
three weeks. Yesterday ' morning a
man accidentally drowned at Baker
and yesterday afternoon another man
was accidentally killed. Speaking of
the last named Incident the Baker
Herald says: ;- .
W. W. Cornwell. breaker of recal
citrant bronchos,, who had the con
tract to sprinkle the streets of Baker,
met his death this forenoon shortly
before 9 o'clock by being run over
by the city sprinkling wagon,
Death was almost immediate and
tha popular and well known driver of
th unrlnktlilo' wmon rmlnort 4 V-
position in which 19 was killed until
the "dead ' wagon" of Undertaker
West took him away. He had stop
ped to recharge the wagon and the
splash made by the water excited the
horses and started them on the run ou
Resort street. The team ran along
Resort, and turned ithe corner of Val
ley and started along tat street when
Cornwell fell and the wheels of the
wagon passed over Tils clvest, death be
ing almost instantaneous. The cause,
of the accident was the breaking of
the bridle, thus throwing ' Cornwell
under the wagon. . -
' A crowd quickly gathered after the
accident, , and much comment was
aroused by the conduct of a dog be
longing to Will Bennett: The pup
curled up on the body of the dead
man and for a time refused to permit
anybody to. approach . tha body A
few days ago Mr. Cornwell toad fid
the dog. and since that time Jhe re
fused to havfr anything to do with
his master. When the hearse arrived
the dog took a sudden hike and disap
peared and the calls of his master
were unheeded.: ' . r " '
Cornwell was universally beloved
and his multitude of friends are In
mourning1 today. The ' arrangements
for the funeral have not yet been
completed. He was a member of the
Woodmen of the World and it is 'prob
able that that order will have charge
of the funeral. ; "
Cornwell was within a few days of
60 years old, his 60th birthday would
have fallen on October 4th. ' He was
noted for his happy disposition and
was. called "dad" by .everyone. He
leaves two daughters, Mrs. Eva Cook
and Alpha Roberts, and a son, Frank,
who Is a rancher In Eagle valley. Fun
eral arrangements will be made later.
COAL TRADE OF PACIFIC COAST
Figures Compiled by United States
Geological Survey.
Washington, Aug. 31. (Special)
The fuel requlremenfts of the Pacific
coast and tW methods of meeting them
are of special , interest at the present
time because of, the. agltatjon In re
gard to (the development or nodie
velopment of the coal resources Of
Alaska. The report on the production
of coal 1910, by E. W. Parker, coal
statistician of the United States geo
logical surgey, now In preparation,
will ' contain some interesting state
ments on this subject. '
The present consumption ot coal ou
the Pacific coast, says Mr. Parker, is
of any coal mines in Alaska will die
not large and the successful operation
pend on naming prices attractive to
the development of manufacturing In
dustries. For railroad and manufac
turing purposes the consumption of
oil, particularly in California, largely
exceeds that ot coal In fact, for rail
road use oil Is practically ithe only
fuel. The principal domestic fuels are
woods and gas made from oil. Re-,
cently oil itself has assumed import
ance as a domestic fuel. About 15,-
000,000 barrels of California oil were
consumed by locomotives in 1909, as
against a little over 18.000,000 barrels
for 1910. The total consumption of
fuel oil was probably between 25.000,
000 and 40.000.000 barrels tn 1909 and
between 40.000,000 and 50.000,000 bar
rels lu 1910. The probability Is that

total quantity of coal shipped into
AtaBka in 1910 was 98,240 short tons,
of which 8.178 tons went from British
