No. 304 mm fji MYSTERIOUS FRISCO EXPLOSION KILLS FOUR AN Fire Following Upheaval Cre mates Several Alive In Ruins. MANY THINK IT DUE TO DYNAMITE. Others Believe That a Leak In Street Gas Main May Be the Cause. (By Associated Press.) SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. Four aro dead and three seriously Injured as a result of a terrific explosion which was followed by fire early to day in the grocery store of John Sweeny at 270G Diamond street. The dead are: John Sweeney, Mrs. John Sweeney, Ella Sweeney, aged ten. Anton DIssmeyer, Jr., aged two. The Injured are: Miss Mary DIssmeyer ( may die). Fred Sweeney, Anton DIssmeyer, Sr. Sweeney, the proprietor of the gro cery, lived with his family in a flat above the store and adjoining the latter was the saloon of S. F. John son, with the DIssmeyer family in the flat above it. The store and saloon were closed and the occupants were asleep when the explosion occurred. So terrific was the force that Fred Sweeney, aged 25, and who was sleeping near the window was thrown through the window and over the roof of a one-story building adjoin ing. The grocery partly collapsed and immediately the fire broke out. Before the engines arrived, the wrecked building and the adjoining saloon were wrapped with flames. Anton Dissmyer awoke to find him self almost surrounded by flames. Ho carried his wife to the street, but she was so severely burned that recovery is said to be doubtful. DIssmeyer though severely burned himself, plunged Into the building to get his two-year old son. The father unablo to find his child was forced to flee for his own life. The entire Sweeney family perlsh 'ed excepting Fred. What caused the explosion Is a mystery. There was no gas in the building and but five gallons of kero sene was in the grocery. The only theories are of dynamite or an accumulation of gas from a possible leak in the street's main. DR. B. P. BAUMBAUGH IS HELD FOR VIOLATION.

Standing of the Clubs. Per Won Lost Cent. Marshfield 3 1 750 North Bend .... 1 3 250 Bandon 2 2 500 Coquille 2 2 500 Yesterday's Results. At Marshfield Marshfield, 1; Co quille, 3, (Thirteen Innings). At North Bend North Bend, 3; Bandon, 7. In one of tho best games that has ever been seen on the local grounds, Marshfield lost to Coquille yesterday by a score of 3 to 1. It took thirteen Innings to decide it and every one felt that he had a run for his money. Coquille won because they outplay ed Marshfield. Several of tho Marsh field players had an "off" day, both at the bat. and In the field. Tho Co quille team did better stick work and better fielding than did Marshfield. Gardiner, Coqullle's new pitcher, made a hit for himself in his first game and will doubtless be the hero of the day in the county seat town today. In thirteen Innings, he struck out twenty-two men and al lowed but four hits. Peralto, who caught for Coquille, held up his end of the game In good shape, holding Gardiner well, doing some good base throwing and getting three hits out of five times at bat. Thelle pitched a fairly good game. While It was not up to his previous standard, he had to work against odds, having men on the bases most of tho time. Ho had an off day for fielding and batting. Rutledgo did fairly well, especially when tho con dition of his hand was considered. That he held Thelle as well as ho did and threw bases as well as he did surprised his friends who were awaro of the handicap under which ho was working. Marshfleld's one and only run was largely due to Owens base running and was secured In the first Inning. Owens was first man up and walked. He went to second on Thelle's sacri fice, McKeown bunted and beat It out. Owens had a big lead for third and Lorenzo's anxiety to head him off resulted In a wild throw. While Collier backed up Howell fairly well, Owens beat the ball to tho home plate. McKeown meanwhile stole second but his efforts were In vain as Bryan and Goldlo both pounded the air and retired the side. Coquille scored their first run In the second. Howell was hit by Thelle and went to third on a hit by Col lier to centerfield. Thelle started to cover the third and In endeavoring to shut Collier off at second threw wild, allowing Howell to score and leaving Collier on third. Paul and Hartley struck out. Neither sldo scored again until tho first half of tho thirteenth. Pe ralto got first on Thelle's fumbling his grounder and stole second. Novlns went out on a fly to center. Peralto was caught while trying to steal home, allowing Thomas to go to first on fielder's choice. Thomas stole second and Howell landed safe ly on tho first bag on fielder's choice, McKeown dropping tho throw to third, A wild throw by Thelle to a base allowed Thomas to score. Collier got first on fielder's choice, which availed nothing, and in tho melee Howell scored. Collier was caught by Rutledgo whilo trying to steal homo. In MnrslRfcld's half of tho thir teenth, It looked for a minute as though a flnul rally might savo tho day, ovon after Butler and Chandler bad struck out. Merchant landed for a pretty single and Owons did Ukowlso. It was a long clianco for Pitcher Thelle to tlo tho scoro or win his own gamo with a nlco hit (Continued on page 4.) VESSELS First Time That Government Vessels Have Ever Done So. TWO TORPEDO BOATS AND TWO DESTROYERS Some of Them May Remain In Bay For a Week or so Mak ing Repairs. For the first time in the history of Coos Bay, vessels of the American Navy have sailed clear up the Bay and havo taken on coal here. The event Is considered by many to mark one of the most Important eras in the development of Coos Bay as they beliuve It Is an Indication that Coos Bay will be made a coaling station In tho near future and this will mean thnt the United States War Depart ment will give tho harbor tho attend ant attention which will mean extra ordinary improvements within a few years. The vessels, which arrived hero Saturday night and aro still in the Bay coaling and making minor re pairs are the torpedo boats, Davis and Fox, and the torpedo boat destroyers Goldsborough and Rowan. They aro en route south from Puget Sound and the Columbia river. Tho vessels are under telegraphic Instructions from the United States War Department to report at Hum boldt Bay before July 4th, but as two or three of the boats have to un dergo considerable repairs, It may be that they will havo to remain hero a week or so. The Davis and prob ably one other will leave not later than Wednesday morning. Each vessels will take on about twonty-flvo tons of coal. They wero coaled at Astoria, using Australian coal. Tho Australian coal was far from satisfactory and Impeded their tlmo down tho coast. They had to pay $10 per ton for It and the Coos Bay coal is being put aboard at $4 per ton. Tho engineers declare that the Coos Bay coal Is much better ap pearing fuel than the Australian coal but of course they will not be ablo to make any report on Its value as a fuel to the vessels until after It has been given a trial. If tho Coos Bay coal proves satis factory, It will probably mean that the government will rely on It for fuel for their vessels on the North west Pacific coast at least. With, this condition, It will bo necessary for them to have the bar and harbor so that all of their vessels can move with ease In and out over the bar and through tho harbor at any and all times. Hundreds of Coos Bay people vis ited the boats yesterday and today, both North Bond and Marshfield men showing tho officers and men every courtesy possible. Will Play Rail. Tho sailors on the vessels havo a baseball team and havo arranged to play the North Bend team an exhibi tion Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. No admittance will be charged. The sailors saw North Bend play Sunday and aro confident that they can do feat them. DELAY DREDGER PLANS. Chamber of Commerce Waiting to Hear From Largo Interests.
