Almy's room in the Wheelock house this morning to conduct the prelim mary examination of the murderer. Amy, in reply to Attorney General Barnard's questions as to how he felt, said that he had not had any sleep and had been in pain all night. The complaint was read to Amy as he lay on his cot. When asked l to plead he hesitated and said: q don't know what to do. Turning to Sheriff Foster, a near neigh bor of the Warden, with whom he was well | acquainted, he inquired, "What would you do, Henrya" Foster replied, .T don't know, Frank"

MINING DISASTER.
Eight Lives Lost Through an Ex-
 plosion of Giant Powder.

Eight Lives Lost Through an Ex-
 plosion of Giant Powder.
 BURKE, Idaho, Aug. 21.-Two hundred pounds of giant powder exploded at the mouth of the lower tunnel of the Black Bear mine, near here, yesterday, with ter rible effect. Four men were imprisoned at the breast of the drift by rock which caved in, and were suffocated. The bod ies of four miners are not yet found, but all hope of finding them alive had been given up. The explosion was terrific, tearing up earth and caving in the tunnel for distan ce of 100 feet.
 A rescuing party recovered the dead bodies of G. McNeill, general manager; John Jense, assistant manager; Robert Blackburn and John Sparrow, miners. The four others missing it is feared were blown to atoms. Jense is a brother of one of the proprietors, and MT. Blackburn was secretary of the Central Miners union at Burke.
 Just how the explosion occurred cannot be ascertained, but it is supposed that lighted candle or fire from pipe dropped into box containing powder or fuse by some one passing was the cause. Four cases of 200 sticks of powder each e1plod- ed almost simultaneously.
 The Black Bear mine is located half way between Wallace and Burke, on what is known as Canyon Creek, near the town of Gem. The bodies of the men recovered were found at distance of 150 feet from the mouth of @ tunnel.
 The bodies of Jense, Blackburn and Bar rows were found near the wreck ,smothered by gas from the explosion. They had evi- | dently been in the rear end of the tunnel, and, hearing the explosion, came forward | and tried to open the passage-way, but were overcome by gas. A short time be- | fore relief came voice was heard by the men outside saying, 'For Gods sake hurry up!"
 | MT. McNeill was young man, an assay | CT and mining man of considerable promise, and had been in charge of the mine about a month. He was from Iowa, and has a sister in San Francisco and brother in Butte. Peter Janse was prominent rail road contractor. The miners were work ing on a contract to extend the tunnel when the accident occurred.
