William Collins, the trainer and
keeper OF Selh Brothers, herd 6f sle

pieces Thursday morpiGi, By three
"laughlng" hycnas at Salt Lake, and but

he would have not ouly been killed but
eaten. Collins had been looking after the
byenas In addition to caring for the ele-
plants, Ms the regular hyeua trainer 10 on
on vacation, and had entered the cage o.
these ferocious beasts preparatory TO tax

Just fastened the doorway, or gates, when
the largest animal lesped on him with

carried In his belt, but the pain from his
wounds became so intense that he lost his
gaze on the other hyenas aad In n tricc
they were on him. Collins fought with
the energy OF despair and yelled Justify
for help, but the rest Of the menagcrie had

Collins was secured, more dead than alive,
the animals went 10 fighting with one an.

from the hrc hydrsnt and the place looked
like slaughter house. Collins will 70.

BOLD COAL MINERS.
Tennessee Coal Miners Prevent Con-
vets from Working the Mines.

fsnnesSse Coal Miners Prevent Con.
Vets from Working the Mines.
A fortnight ago the owncrs Of coal
mites u t3rieevilie, Tennessee, put .
large number Sf ssnvicts whom they hired
from the state To woYh In their mines In
blssS Of other miners.
About iOo armed strikers ATTACKED the
guards who had charge Of the convicss
and liberated the convicts. The governor
kss Hotifod, snd responded BY ssadtss
two compasiss Of militia from Chattandoss
and one from Knoxvi,is TO the scene. OF
the couvicts taken from tne guards at
BricevIlle two escaped, and the ress were
taken TO Knoxville.
Whsn the militia arrived they took them
back with them, and warned the mob that
trey would protect thom at oil hazards.
Governor Buchanan az once proceeded to
the seat Of trouble and Ia neat speec
explained his position 70 tho rebellious
miners. He told them that II was his
sworn duty to uphold the law and IL the
convict lease system was wrong be wss
not to blame and the only recourse OF tho
men was through the Legislature.
The miners announced that their fam
ilies were starving and that they were
compelled TO drive out tho convicts II 1t
cost the life Of every man In the valley.
They made all sorts OF fun Of the handful
Of besrdless youths, but declared that they
would not harm tho "spider-legged cigar
stte-smoklna dudes,' - they character
lied the militia, but - soon - the militia
were wAhdyawn they would release svery
convict In tho region. BeeosIiRR In
patient, however, ar the delay In recalling
the troops, they decided 70 try TO over
come the troops by force Of numbers and
succeeded only too we'll.
At 10 o'clock on tho goth 1000 miners,
farmers and other natives who have no
occupation at all, took possession OF tho
camp. Fifteen hundred Of there were
armed with rifles, the rest had shot guns
and pistols. They came from all the mines
In radius OF fifty miles. The organizs-
tion was complete and leaders placed them
along the hillsides with military precision.
Al the call Of arms the little garrison
turned out gallautly and prepared for do.
fense. II was appsrsnt At glance that .
fight would result In massacre. A meet.
ing Of the officers was called. Some de-
ciaYed that . stout resistence TO the hrst
attack would be sufficient and the mob
would withdraw. Others thought that II
would be suicidal, yet everyone was In
favor Of doing his duty, Notwithstanding
the exposed position they had TO defend.
The miners called Q parlev and were net
on neutral ground by Colonel SEWER.
They stated that they had sufficient forcs
TO ovcrwhelm the soldiers, but they did
not care 70 shed blood II the convicts were
quietly turned over 10 them. The request
was emphatically refused. He agreed
however, TO withdraw to Knoxville with
the convicts upon receiving assurances
that tho property Of the coal company
would not be destroyed.
As result Of this the governor has or.
dered odt the entire military force Of the
State, and will suppross the miners At all
! costs.

tHe NEW sALroN LAKE.
Half Of the Water ST tho Colorado
Hlysf Supplies 4.

A dispatch 10 the Denver EeWs rays:
Ths mystery Is solved. Tho Colorado
River runs In al dhbtokea stream from
Yuma to Salton In wild, rapid current.
Tho rim Is cut through. The frat boat
through the Gtsat channel, loaded with
passengers Patton, Converse. Carter and
Rosa, left Yuma Thursday hccs and
reached Los Palms In their boat, dve
miles from Salton, at 8 o'clock Tuesday
aight. Patton then walked to Salton.
After leaving Yuma they stopped at FL
Rio and took Carlos. leaving there at 8
O'Clock. They went out through enc Of
the ten channels at Algodones, sfd follow
ing the mediterranean, went 70 Cooks
Wells, to Alamo, following the main
channel To tho north. From that point
for some seventeen miles before reaching
Alamo, they picked up an Indian as
guide who, In helping 10 get the boat
through tho brush, was bitten by
rattler.
The Indian says that ho went 50 far as
to the other side Of the rim which sepa-
rated the two great basins, and there he
left the boat to return for medicine.
After returning to bis homo hs met
three Indians, who hnd followed
the great channel from near Saitou up 10
and over the rim into tho Indian Wells
basin. They say that tho new stream
which is only the old New River rcopened,
is from 100 10 100 feet wide and from 10 to
20 deep, wide ming all the time, cutting out
the sand, shalo and clay, and running at q
five to six mile gait To Saiton Lake. These
Indians say that thas fur the water has
not lowered In Indian Wells basin moro
thun half an inch. The point where the
water leaves tho great southern basin Is
about iiltS miles, or half way from the
Colorado River to Sacers Wells, which
are fourteen miles northwest Of Indian
Wells and near tho western border Of the
great basin.
After leaving tho Alamo the new break
runs 10 the northwest thirty nles, till
near Indian Wells, and then II bears
north toward Saltoni meandcring down
among the salt uiid clay hills at fearful
rate. Patton's boat was upset swice, and
tbe occupants had struggle to save the
boat and provisions, which were securely
lashed 10 eaoh other. The opinion is that
the New River win drain or the water
from the Alamo, Indian Wells and other
basins, and gradually fill up the Salton
Lake.
The Colorado River has fallen only TVS
inches in seven days, and 1t IL still two
feet higher than the average for eleven
years,'and is still pouring one half OF its
water into the stream running to Salton.
1t is estimated that l,0oo,oJo cubic feet OF
