DIDN'T KNOW 1T WAS LOADED!
DANIEL COOPER'S DEATH
THE RESULT
His Brother Pointed the Pistol.

Regular correspondence
A,fatal didn't -know-it-was-loaded
accident occurred at the residence
Of John Cooper, miles north from
Big Sandy, last Friday morning.
He placed an unloaded revolver
on the mantel and then left the
room. While absent Daniel Coop
er, his brother, picked the weapon
up to examine it and noticing that
it was not loaded filled its chambers
with cartridges, little thinking his
act would soon cost him his life.
When John returned he picked up
the revolver, not knowing it had
been loaded during hisabsence, and
pointing it at his brother Daniel
pressed the trigger, at the same
time sayins he didn't think it was
any good, when it was discharged,
The ball entered the lower part of
his brothers abdomen and ranged
downward, causing his death a few
hours later. The brother is nearly
crazed with grief over the sad affair.

the Arabs.

6uAxrn, Feb. 2i.-Further particulars Of
the battle at Tokar are just received.
When the forces approached each other
strenuous efforts were made by parties OF
both sides to secure the shelter of some
houses just beyond the lines for protec-
ton. A company of Egyptians, after q
race with large body of dervishes, seized
some ruins and poured fire on the enemy,
killing 100 of them. The enemy then ex-
tended the lines. outtianking the Egyp-
tians, and party of horsemen. led by
Osman Digma, threatened the rear,
where the transports were placed.
The Egyptians made brave stand, how
ever, and though the situation was crit
ical for time, succeeded in repelling the
enemy with severe loss.
At the height Of the fight the transport
camels and mules stampeded. and the der
wishes got among them. The Egyptian
cavalry made forced charge and sue
ceeded in driving back the enemy. They
followed the dervishes, but the latter fed
precipitately.
On reaching Osman Digma's second po-
sition, the Egyptians found in valley an
Arab village, the inhabitants of which
poured out and begged for pardon. A
number of bodies of sheiks were found,
Osman Digma having executed them for
suspected treachery.

Miners Rescued From the Hs1elton Pit

Miners Rescued From the Hsselton Pit
Will Recover.
HAzKLToN, Pa, Feb. 24.-The four Hun
garians rescued from the caved mine were
brought to the surface this morning and
given small amount of lime juice and
milk, and allowed to rest. They probably
will recover from the effect of their con-
fnement. It is impossible to get state
ment from any Of the men. as their weak
ened condition prevents it. All of the
men are so weak that simply movement
of the head is impossible. The dinner in
their pals would have been sufficient to
sustain life for eight days. perhaps. if dealt
out sparingly. What they lived on the
remainder of the nineteen days can only
be conjectured.
The clear portion Of the mine where the
men were found was cushioned by fresh
air. After the terrible rush of water on
that awful day the good air came into
their breast, where it was driven to the
highest point by the water. The men
were south of that locality, and there they
were found. Twenty-three men were in
the mine when the disaster occurred. Six
Of these escaped, leaving seventeen. All
are now recovered. the last of the dead be-
ing found near the place where the four
live miners were discovered.
The rescued men are resting quietly this
evening. The pulse of all but Mastur-
kowitch has improved in the past few
hours. He appears to be growing weaker.

Two Professors Come to Blows and Stu
dents Leave In Disgust.
CLEVELAND, O., Feb. "A controversy
among members of the faculty of the art
department of Western Reserve university
eliminated this morning in personal en-
counter between Dean Newton A. Wells
and Professor c. Gottwald.
Some weeks since Gottwald preferred
charges of immortality and incompetency
against Wells, who is the head master of
the school. The trustees, on Friday last,
after prolonged investigation, decided
that the charges of immortality had not
been proved, but found that the dean had
been guilty of Aagrant indiscretion in pre-
senting to waiter girl the picture of two
cupids in s loving embrace.
This morning Wells entered Gottwald's
studio and warm words ensued between
the two men. They finally came to blows.
Gottwald struck Wells upon the head with
an iron dumb-bell intiicting two slight
scalp wounds. Wells bruised Gottwald's
cheek and eye and severely choked him.
The noise of the disturbance brought a
third professor to the studio and the COM
batants were separated.
Many of the students, feeling the dis
grace brought upon the school, have left
the institution, yowing they will not re-
turn until the faculty was recognized.

SAN JosE, Cal, Feb. 24.-The fight for the
Pacific Coast bantam-weight champion
ship before the San Jose Athletic club to-
night between Dan Hawkins and Dan Ma
hony resulted in q victory for the former
in the twenty-ninth round The fight was
contested hard, and the best one ever seen
in this city.
At the start it seemed as If Mahony
was the winner. He did all the lighting,
made frequent rusI,cs and kept Hawkins
In his own corner most of the time. He
kept leading for Hawkins heart, landing
often, so that the flesh assumed blood
red tinge. Finally he abandoned these
tactics and paid more attention to Haw-
kins' jaw, endeavoring to get in a knock
out blow. He landed frequently. but not
with enough force. He did considerable
damage to Hawkins face, however. as the
left side was badly swollen, and the left
eye nearly closed.
All rounds previous to the twenty-frst
seemed in Mahony's favor, but in this
Hawkins took more of the aggressive and
succeeded SO well that confidence was in
spired, and when time was called for the
twenty-second round he commenced
pounding Mahony hard.
Mahony was still strong and honors
were about even until the twenty fifth,
when Mahoily showed some signs Of
groggincss. Hawkins saw his advantage
and rushed his opponent, but Mahony
was not a gutter and showed lie had lots
Of fight still in him. lie fought hard, but
his strength was not equal to the
necessity, as he had done too much work

at first, and he continued getting groggier
In the twenty-seventh round it was seen
that Hawkins had his man whipped, but
though he punched Mahony right and
left he was not able to down him.
In the twenty-eighth he pushed Mahony
hard and knocked him down once. The
call Of time saved Mahony, however, and
his seconds carried him TO his corner. He
was able to get to the center of the ring in
the twenty-ninth, but in bad shape. and
Hawkins rained blows right and left upon
him, finally landing terrible Highlander
on the jaw, aud Mahony went down. He
made an effort to rise, and succeeded in
getting to a sitting posture, but was unable
to get upon his feet, and was counted out.
Hawkins friends were wild with excite
ment and carried him TO his dressing-room
on their shoulders. Hawkins face is in
bad shape, his left eye closed, his left
cheek badly swollen and big swelling
under the left ear and lis lower lip skinned
and swollen.
Mahony is in equally as bad condition.
His face is swollen and he has skinned
places on his body
The purse was $500. of which Hawkins

cluh-rooms were crow ded and there was
