wHAM ROBBED BY wHoMe
A Man Arrested and Unjustly Accused of
the Crime.


the Crime.
TUCSON, June Sth.-Bill Williams, who
was arrested at FL Paso yesterday with
5000 on his person, proves not to be party
to the Wham robbery. He has previous
bad record and was arrested for killing a
man in Texas some years ago. He came
to Arizona and has been in the stock busi-
ness on the San Pedro. He sold his ranch
and cattle to Mike Ohe, receiving draft
and money.
When he appeared in El Paso, in COM
pany with a woman, he was identified try
ing to evade officers who had spotted him
for murder, but when they found so much
money on him they concluded he was a
robber. 1t now turns ont that he owed
John C. Fall, merchant at Wilcox, $500,
and was trying to get away without pay
ing it.
In the examination of those under ar
rest here to-day a negro woman testified
positively as TO Gilbert Webb and Thomas
Lamb. She saws she saw about dozen
men, most of whom she had seen in Solo
monville, but did not know their names.
William A. Haynes, a colored soldier,
swore to seeing Lamb at Fort Grant on the
Friday before the robbery inquiring as to
the Paymaster's movements.

DIVING FOR THE DROWNED.

Futile Efforts TO Recover the Bodies in
the Idaho Mine.
GRASS VALLEY, June Sth.-This morning
the two brave uen, VIM. Tucker of San
francisco and Henry Shoemaker of Grass
Valley, went down into the Idaho mine
with a view of reaching the ,000-foot level
and then going in to
SEARCH FOR THE DEAD MEN.
Tucker and Shoemaker donned sub
marine armor al the mill level and pro-
ceeded on their perilous journal toward the
20 level. Hundreds of people were at the
mine anxiously watching the rope as it
slowly urcoiled itself with its load of living
freight a; the other end. There were fire.
quent stoppages and each signal made the
watchers more anxious. When the cage
got just below the 900 level
THREE SHARP BELLS
Were sounded as signal to hoist. 1t wss
then known that something was the mat
ter. Then a signal was rung to stop the
electric light The cage was brought to
the surface, and among others on board
were Page and Shoemaker. They had got
below the 900 level when the heat became
so intense that human life could not exist,
aud the adventures were
NOhFELLkD IO hEIhACE
Their passage. II was so hot at the 500
level that a miner in miners garments
could hardly live, and of course the heavy
submarine armor made it unbearably
warmer.
1t is thought that the fire has increased,
as there is much more smoke in the shaft
than on last evening.
The Coleman brothers will exhaust every
means TO put out the fire. The carbopic
acid gas plan will be tried, and if that fails
no other plan has yet been determined
upon. After that the deluge, or letting the
mine I'LL with water, and then the long
process of pumping it out again.
The project of introducing carbonic acid
gas into the mine has been revived. The
gas will be generated by the combustion of
charcoal in a stove, and as the gas is
thrown off by the burning, il will be
FORCED INTO THE MINE
Through pipes, condenser to do the
forcing. It will take big lot of charcoal.
The theory of the operation is all right
enough, and il the mine can be surcharged
with carbonic acid gas, the fire is bound to
be put out.
The gas now in the mine will Of course,
help that which may be forced in, and
enough has to be forced to squeeze out the
oxygen of the air that feeds the fires.
Professor Foster, of the High School, is
to have charge of the generation of the gas
by charcoal burning and forcing into the
mine.
After the divers finally came up, men
went down to the 500 foot level and cut
the air pipe that carries compressed air TO
tine drilling machines and the underground
air-engines. The cutting was done just be-
low where il passes through the bulkhead
that shuts up the main shaft. The object
is to deliver the gas made on the surface
Just under the bulkhead. so that the mine
may be filled from the top. The men who
took up the bulkhead and cut the pipes
