TOUCHES OFF DYRAMITE P Lad Nearly Loses His Life Through Curiosity to See the Effect of Kxplosion R OAKLAND, July 10.—Curiosity to see what the effect would be of the explo- sion’ of a dynamite cap nearly cost Joe Yotk a school boy, his life this afternoon. His face-and chest were filled with small pieces of the brass casing-and the finger with which he touched a lighted match to the explosive was mangled. He got the cap at the quarry where some work- men were blasting and taking it into the back yard of his home at 664 Fourth street proceeded to touch it off. The caps are charged heavily enough to explode the stick of dynamite in which they are inserted, but the lad says he thought that at most the explosion would only equal an ordinary firecracker. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. A. S. Kelly spent an hour in picking the foreign particles out of the lad’s anatomy and patching up his index finger, along which a large plece had ploughed 1te way. The breaking of the cap into small pleces, it was stated, was what saved the boy’s life, for had it gone all together in one direction it might have killed him. : —ep————— FLEES AS HUSBAND SHOOTS.

SAN MATEO, July 10.—So much good lhu resulted from public effort to destroy | the mosquito pest in and around San | Mateo that every endeavor will be made | to induce private property owners to lend their ald to end the visits of the danger- ous and annoying insect. Largely through the instrumentality of the Board of Trade of the city an ordinance was passed by | the County Board of Supervisors making it a misdemeanor for any one to main- tain mosquito-breeding pools on his prop- erty. This ordinance is not being enforced as rapidly as it should be and some of the excellent work done by the general com- munity Is being undone by negligent property owners. The San Mateo Park Improvement Club now offers a reward of $0 for the arrest and conviction of any person violating the ordinance. The au- thorities are In earnest, as the elimination of the mosquito has been one of the greatest boons to the county in years.
