Slight Damage nt Carl P. Johnson's
Home Only Semblance of Fore

The wind and a gas stove at the
homo of Carl F. Johnson, near $ac
chl's grocery, did the best they could
late yesterday to fulfill the' prophecy
of the Portland seeress that ero mid
night last night passed Marshfleld
would be swept by a conflagration.
The wind tossed the curtain over the
lighted gas jet and In a minute,
flames were soaring high in the
room.
The blaze was discovered Instan
taneously and after turning In the
alarm, tho members of tho Johnson
household and F. A. Sacchl began
fighting tho firo. They had it extin
guished before Flro Chief Nicols and
his firo fighters reached the scene,
although they made double quick
time, probably with tho memories of
the prophecy of Marshfleld's disaster
looming up before them.
The damago will amount to only a
few dollnrs, perhaps not much more
than tho Marshfleld maiden had to
pay tho Portland seeress for tho
warning that failed to como truo.

old and Is American born. Ho Is a
"floater" or by some would bo term
ed a "soak." He has been on Coos
Bay several' months and all that he
has received for making a human
ostrich of himself has been ten cents
now and then for a bite to eat, be
cause his hardware diet and dry feed
didn't seem to give all of the nourish
ment required, and a few drinks.
Ho has been following the un
human vocation or rather diet for
several years but a few days ago,
he first encountered trouble. He be
gan to suffer from terrible pains in
tho stomach which became so excru
ciating that he finally went to the
hospital.
Drs. Gale and Bartle after an ex
amination recognized tho cause of
tho trouble but they did not for a
minute imagine that he had more
than one piece or foreign substance
In his stomach. After the incision
had been made and the removal of
the articles began, they and the nur
ses were almost dumfounded.
The pieces of glass had penetrated
tho mucuous membrane of the sto
mach In several places awl this prob
ably caused the pain. Some of the
articles appeared to have been car
ried In his stomach for a long time.
No one knows whither Durga
came from or whether he has any
relatives. He told little concerning
himself. He seems to have an or
dinary intellect so that his eccentric
habits appear to merely be the re
sult of the degradation he has sunk
to In his craving for liquor and con
sequent antipathy for work.
A number of North Bend people
have seen him swallow various
articles but most of them thought
that he was a slight of hand artist
and that tfieir eyes had been de
ceived. The results of yesterday's
operation prove otherwise.
This morning, Durga began to
ask for something to eat, the usual
diet of patients not sufficing his ap-
petite.

Eugene Cox, a Beaver Hill miner,

in the skull.
Will Copple, another Coos Bay
workman, while on the Jeffrey place
near Pony slough, sustained similar
injuries yesterday, his skull being
fractured at the forehead. He Is also
at Mercy hospital.
Drs. Bartle and Gale who attended
the men believe that both will re
cover from their injuries. Both
were resting easier today.

and Putnam being near tho line was

Late yesterday afternoon, negotia

opened and, in consequence, the fran
chise for an independent telephone
company for which Mr. Durett was

council last evening. John W. Gil
kyson, division superintendent of the
Pacific States Company, is represent
ing the latter in the negotiations.
Late this afternoon, neither side
was prepared to make any statement
concerning the negotiations. It is
believed that the exchange will be
sold. It Is understood that the only
hitch is relatives to tho exchanges
which the Pacific States Company
has at other points in the Coos Bay
country and which they wish to sell
with the Coos Bay exchange while
Mr. Durett only wishes to buy the
Coqullle exchange in addition to the
local one.
In case the deal goes through, the
Pacific States Company will retain
the long distance toll service. Mr

INJURED BY
RTH BEND TODAY
Part of Second Floor of Sash
and Door Factory Gives
Way.
VICTIMS ONLY
SLIGHTLY HURT
Many Have Miraculous Es
cape In Peculiar
Accident.
By the collapse of a section of the
second floor of the North Bend Sash
and Door factory, just before noon
today, the lives of a dozen workmen
were Imperiled but luckily all es
caped except three who sustained
painful but not serious injuries. Tho
injured are:
JOHN PAULSON, scalp wouSphV
back of the head. iSlsJjs ''
R. JACOBSON, cut abouttho
the wrists.
E. BERG, badly bruised.
In addition to these, several wero
slightly scalded by escaping steam.
The accident was caused by the
girders giving away underneath tho
lumber stored on the second floor.
A large amount of finished lumber
had been stored there but no ono
believed that the weight was greater
than the supports would carry.
While the girders had been cracking
underneath tlie weight, no attention
was paid to It. Shortly after 10
o'clock this morning, Messrs. Jacob
son and Paulson took another truck
of lumber on the second floor. As
they neared the center of the south
portion of tho building, the girders
gave way.
A dozen employes in the cutting
department on the first floor under
neath heard the timbers giving away,
dropped their tools and fled. An
Instant later, upwards of a half mil
lion feet of lumber came crashing
through.
"Jackles" to the Rescue.
For a time, It was feared that a
number of employes had been caught
In the collapse. Charles Keane,
hearing the great crash, rushed out
of the office, took In the situation
at a glance and dashed to the United
States gunboats which were anchored
at the wharf a few yards distant. In
an Instant, the "Jackles" responded
and were soon removing the lumber
and removing the few who wero
pinioned underneath. The other
workmen did likewise.
Encaged Tn Lumber.
The last to be removed was R.
Jacohson, a young man who had
fallen through from the second story
with the floor. He was completely
caged In the midst of the great
pile of lumber. A beam on one
side and a truck over his head kept
the thousands of pounds of lumber
above and around him from crush
ing him to death. It was more than
an hour before he could be released.
His only injuries consist of some bad
cuts about the wrists.
Caused Great Evcltement.
The accident caused great commo
tion In North Bend and Marshfleld1
greatly exaggerated stories being eja
culated. Hundreds manned evory
available craft at tho Marshfleld
docks and rushed to the scenq toi
hopes of being able, to assist.
Tho plant's engine houso Is in a
separate building and the steam was
shut off b quickly as possible, but
not utll several had been scalded
fron the hursted pipes. The remote
ness of tho engine from the dlsnBter
prevented any possible outbreak of.
Hro. . . J .' ,im
Tho damago Is not great, merely1'
requiring tho handling of tho lumbor
that fell through and repairing tho
girders. Tho plant will continue, In
operation as usual, extra men being
Bet to work removing tho lumbor and
straightening things out.
Managor Bodo and Mr. Keane aro
highly thankful that tho acoidont
did not provo much mora sqrlaus
than It did.
