SECOND POWDER MILL VICTIM DIES PATRICK RYAN, FATALLY BURNT IX MONDAY'S EXPLOSION, SUC CUM IIS TO HIS INJURIES. Patrick Francis Ryan, who was so terribly burned in the explosion of the blasting corning mill at the Howder Work3 on Monday afternoon, lingered for exactly twelve hours after the tragedy, fighting death inch by Inch and finally gave up tho struggle at 3:30 on Tuesday morning, at his home on the corner of High and Bay Sts.

He was attended by Dr. H. H. Clark, and his wife and children were with him when he died. The story of Ryan's sufferings is a pitiful one.

When he was first laid tenderly on the two-seater which was to bring him to town he asked for milk and cream, which was given him, and then water. He asked for water right along, until he became unconscious during the night, but he had to be deprived of it. lie also asked the boys at the mill to rub his arms and legs, which were horribly burned, with oil. He was conscious all the evening and was intensely happy to be able to be with his little family. He seemed to realize that he could not get over the burns, but did not complain of much pain.

His loss la a terrible blow to his wife and three children. He had worked at the powder works for a number of years and was deservedly popular with his fellow workmen. Ryan Was born In County Galway, Ireland, 42 years ago. At the inquest several witnesses were examined by Dr. Morgan, but nothing was ascertained as to the exact cause of the accident.

O. V. Ort represented 'thte company. A verdict of death from burns due to the accident was found and a verdict of accidental death in the ca-e of Michael Mlchaelson, his com-panlon victim to the dangerous occupation of powder making, was also rendered. 4 4 4 A A Earthquake in Pennsylvania READING, May 29.

F. building was determined on by the Supervisors there has been considerable objection raised among members of the two Odd Fellow lodges in this city, and it Is said that plans have already been made to get out an injunction against the county, preventing the from proceeding with the work, on the ground that the property of the Odd Fellows will be injured by the addition. It is eaid that the Odd Fellows paid some $250 for asphalting the driveway between the two 'buildings and the city removed its buildings from the rear of the court-house for public convenience and safety from fire, and those who are kicking now say that they do not propose to have this driveway closed up without a protest. They also claim that with the extension the court-house will be in greater danger of fire than ever The objectors say that were the city councilmen not disputing among themselves that action would have been taken by that body in protest and that such action "will likely be taken very soon, anyway.

There are 500 Odd Fellows in this city and vicinity, all voters and most; of them taxpayers. It is admitted that the county offi cials need more room, but on the other hand, it is suggested that the Pacific Av. side of the court-house coirtd better be extended than the driveway.be abolished, with the fire protection which it affords both buildings. When told of the objections on Tuesday evening, Supervisor Mille said that the girders for the addition had already 'been ordered and tha the Supervisors acted, a3 they thought, with the full approval of the Odd Fellows and all other ciM zens. He could not say what th Supervisors would do face of determined protest and perhaps lawsuit against the county.

As it was, the corpse had evidently hung thero for eighty or ninety days, and was in such a state of mortification that Coroner Morgan, who went to Aptos when he heard the tale, had to return to this city for gloves and other apparatus necessary to the (removal of the body.

Sullivan had become weary in his travels and had rested over night in the barn, which is vacant and Is the property of the Hihn Co. In the morning the wind blew the stench his way and he made the discovery. He had noticed the odor the night before, but thought that perhaps a dead coyote was in the hack of the barn. Who the dead man ia no one In the neighborhood knows. The corpse was fpund with a bale rope around its neck, and the man must have had a hard time committing suicide, for the other end of the noose was hung from a nail on the side of a stall and the suicide had to double his feet under him to make the noose effective.
