the city and the federals have taken
up positions on the outskirts there

anxiety among foreign residents has
been considerably relieved by the ar

considered probable that a battle. If it
It fought, will take place beyond the

MANY ARE INJURED
Petaluma, Cal., Oct. 21 Twenty
fivo persons were seriously burned
here Sunday by the explosion of an
automobile gasoline tank. The worst
burns were about the victims head
and faces and it was regarded as re
markable that none were blinded.
Those probably fatally injured are:
James Mott, driver of the city hose
cart and M. J. Hlckey, fireman and
city electrician. v
Among those seriously burned Is
Mayor Wm. H. Sertnian.
An Instant after the explosion oc
curred on the main street the side
walks were filled with snicking mad
dened men beating at their burning
hair and clothes Those that were not
Injured tore off their coats nnd did
what they could to smother the
flames. Automobiles were impressed
from every part of town for ambu
lance service and in half an hour the
city's only hospital was fairly over
whelmed. Women brought band
ages. All the doctors that could bo
reached volunteered their services.
The accident has not been explain
ed and probably never will be. The
machine was standing In the garage
of J. A. Mlsner, with the engine dead,
when It cuui?lit fire. The machine
was wheeled to the street and an al
arm rung In. The department turned
on Its chemical apparatus and n
stream from the hydrant was turned.
(Continued on page eight)
Sheriff Montague leaped from the
chine and covered the murderer
before he was aware of the proximity
of his pursuers. The sight of the gun
pointing at him took all thought of
resistance away and he quietly sub
mitted to being handcuffed. When
searched, the same gun, with which
last Wednesday night he shot down
the young girl who would not be his
bride, was found upon him.
He was brought back to Condon
and lodged in the county Jail before
news of the capture became known.
The officers declare there Is abso
lutely no possibility of the Jail being
stormed by a mob bent on lynching
the murderer.

campaign for Parker would collapse
unless It got more funds. Just be
fore the close of the campaign every
party debt was paid, and I contribut

party disintegrated and disgraced.
