OF Indiana and governor of Illinois,
WHh seeming utter disregard for
kyans newly acquired honorS in

piled the worlds welter weight cham pion

tram and had the satisfaction of gloatng
chicago lawyer who dashed up to the de-
pot in cab with writ of habeas corpus
Just half a minute too late to prevent
Ryan's legal abduction. The eminent

and made the air lvid with threats to have

legal gentleman cooled Off trifle and
catching his second wind, cunnngly tee-
graphed to Crown Point, Indiana, with
instructions to have Ryan wrested en- route

Before leaving, American Horse made this
significant declaration: Il signed the
Sioux reservation ceding treaty, but when
saw how the mouths of my people were
closed in Washington told little Chief
Noble that l would be no longer leader of
my people, but would mingle with them
as warrior in the ranks rather than lift
my voice again on behalf of the white
man." Louis Primeau of Standing Rock
agency, and one of the Interpreters with
the party, said: I'm view of this last visit,
and excitement OF last fall, know-and
am no alarmist-that in spring there will
be trouble. At the Horticultural hall in

chief that received mark ed attention was
Two Strike, who is hostile and always has

RELATED BY EYE.wITNEssEs.
The story of the shooting as related by
Gus and Sheldon Johns, eye-witnesses, is
that A. c. Osborn was standing in front of
Schrader's, talking to Frank Clark, an at
torney, when Elliot appeared walking
south on High street. The two men
walked up to where Osborn was standing,
and one of the Elliots remarked, "Give it
to the s. of b." whereupon one of them
fired at Osborn, who started to back toward
the north. He pulled pistol and began
firing at the two Elliots, who were follow
him with revolvers in hand, shooting at him.
They were firing to the north. while Os-
born fired to the south. AS the latter
neared McDonald's hat store, he opened
the door and ran in, Pat Elliot in close pur-
suit shouting at him. Patrolman McMana-
my caught Col. w. j. Elliot and took his re-
volver away from him. When the police
entered the hat store, they found Osborn
over him with his revolver still smoking
IN his hand. Three reyolvers have
been found, but Osborn's is not among
them. Two of them belong to the Eliotts
and are nearly empty of loads. The police
are anxious to find the owner of the third.

OF Osborn in the least, but would have
rather served twenty years of his life in
the penitentiary than to be indirectly the
cause of Hughes death.

Five of the Miners in the Flooded
Mine at Hazlet0D, Pa, Are
Found Alive.
They We're Entsmbed Eighteen DAYS
Without Food, Water, Light
or Heat.
When Found They We're Too Weak
With One Exception, to
be Moved.
A Miracle Unheard of,

HAZLETON, Pa, Feb. 23-"Alive %
"Alive :" was the joyful tidings tonight at
1l:S0 from the ill-fated slope No. | at
Jeanesville. After eighteen days, en-
tombed in the darkness of mine, five of
the victims of the tel lrible disaster are
found alive. Their names are: John Tom
asKusky, Joe MastuskOwitch, John Burno,
Besco Frinko and an unknown Hungarian
who was visiting John Burno. These. with
the thirteen bodies already found, make
eighteen men, the exact number given in
these dispatches the day of the accident.
How they survived is miracle.
Nothing like it has been known
or heard of in the anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania. The
searching party, after finding Bollock.
Reed, Ball and Smith, yesterday, were
more anxious than ever to solve the prob
lem OF the fate OF the remaining five.
Not moments time was lost to day in the
search. but all in vain. No traces of the
unfortunate victims could be found until
late tonight, when Superintendent McFar-
lane and Caleb Williams were making
of the north pitch. They were startled and
Mortified to come across the bodies of the
five unfortunate, and yet withal fortunate
men. They were lying in various posi-
tions and all huddled together in their
efforts TO keep warm. A careful cxami-
nation revealed the joyful fact that all
were alive, weakened, of course, by the
awful torture of hunger and thirst, but
still alive. They were so weak that with
one exception they could not be
moved. John Tomaskaskey's ex-
cellent strength left him in better
shape than any of the rest and he was
able to be moved to the bottom of the slope
of the first lift into the engine house. DR..
Doolittle, of the village was summoned at
once and entered the mine. a large
stock of blankets were at once secured and
the men wrapped in them. Tomaskusky
was just strong enough to raise his head,
and able to look around. He was care
fully carried to the engine house at the
bottom of the first lift, and medical aid
given to him there. When spoken to he
raised his eyes mOurnfully, look Of
despair passed over his face and he NUT
tered, John much sick" The rest OF the
men could not be moved, but were cared
for just where found. The men will not
be brought to the surface for several days.
Careful nursing will be given them and
every effort put forth to save their lives, so
that their terrible tale may be heard Rev.
j. j. Cumminsky of Hazleton was sum-
moned, and visited the men down the
slope and administered spiritual comfort.
