East Thetford.


Last week Curt McMaster, who works
in the steam mill at North Thetford, went
below to fix the machinery and was caught
in the shafting and carried around many
times, his heat striking the floor, which
was covered with sawdust. He was un-
conscious several hours, but no bones had
been broken. 1t was a wonder that he es-
capped with his life.

Charlie Swift and Frank Dow, while
working in the Elizabeth mine, were bad
ly injured by the unexpected explosion
OF a charge placed in a hole. The charge
had hung fire for Is minutes, and the men
had commenced to remove it when the
explosion occurred. The force OF the dis
charge and the jump landed them, face
downward, on a pile OF rock. Frank was
hit on the back with a fragment of a
rock and was rendered Unconscious.
Nothing hit Swift; but he was thrown
down, and he found himself, with a can OF
powder between his feet, 300 feet under
ground in a new drift, with no place in
which to hide from blast. He got his COM
panion up the ladder by helping him and
telling him what to do. Altho' not know
ing or remembering anything for a long
time, Frank is now much better. Swift
has been able to go back to work again.
On the day after the accident, a piece OF
rock weighing 700 or 500 pounds was

THE CONFIDENCE GAME.
HOW AN UNFORTUNATE ITALIAN
WAS SADLY DUPED.
He Allowed Fellow Countryman to
Work Him to the Tune OF
$500 A Smooth
Swindler.

Another confidence game, by which
an innocent Italian lost $500, WAS
brought to light yesterday. Last Sun
day afternoon a man known as G. Ven
turs visited Tonini Silvo and proposed
a trip to Santa Monica. They had a
short acquaintance and the trip was
made. They took in the balmy air and
sniffed the ocean breezes together.
Finally the pair of brothers OF the came
nativity sauntered out to thriving part
OF the city by the sea and viewed the
new buildings that were going up almost
on every hand.
''See that new two-story house over
there?" said Ventura, pointing to q
house he had probably never seen be-
fore. That's mine. The lot alone is
worth small fortune"
Ventura had so cleverly gained the
confidence of Silvo that he set about to
gain his object. After the days visit
Ventura said he needed little cash.
He took out 5000 check on the Farm
ers' and Merchants bank and requested
Silvo to lend him 5000 on it until yes
terday morning. The money changed
hands like clock-work.
Silvo took the check to the bank yes
terday and of course was told that it
was not worth the paper it was written
upon. He finally saw how badly he had
been swindled, and with a sad but wiser
heart he poured his little tale of woe
into the ears OF the authorities.

below, and with lights 80 arranged that
there really seems to be no top or bot
tom to the place, and hence the name Of
the "Bottomless Pit" Only little
further away the visitor comes to the
Endless Cave" produced in the same
way and quite as interesting. AS the
the visitor to this remarkable place
progresses from point to point he rises
to higher elevation, and, by trevers-
ing an almost impenetrable grade, he
finally finds himself ON the shore of
great lake, into which pours fall of
lava, and it Is here perhaps
that he gets the best idea
of this representation Of the
Internal Regions. The effect is pro-
duced, of course. by colored lights play
ing upon the decorations Of the struc-
ture, and by divers and sundry devices
for the enhancing OF these effects. There
is much that is grotesque about the
dancing skeletons in the cave referred
to, and there is considerable that is un-
canny in every part OF this arrangement,
but there is nothing that is disgusting
or terrifying though there is mdse to
amuse. When people turn to go out,
after having seen all the show, they
find themselves confronted by number
less passages whice seem to lead every
where, but which really lead nowhere,
for when you start to follow one you
run plump against q mirror, and the re-
suit is that before you find the way out
you are fully convinced that this partic-
ular type of He'll is decidedly jolly
place to be in.

AGUILAR is ARRAIGNED.
HIS EXAMINATION FOR MURDER
SET FOR NEXT FRIDAY.
He Does Not Manifest Any Emotion
Over His Unpleasant Condition.
He Is Committed With
out Bail.

The most important case in the justice
or police courts yesterday was the
arraignment of Abrsm Aguilar on a
charge of burning his young wife to
death. He was arraigned in Justice
Seeman's court.
A large crowd forced its way into the
the court room to see the man who has
been made the object of 80 much noto-
rietys Aguilar was taken to the court
by Deputy Sheriff Will Cline.
The accused man appeared not at all
excited nor did he show the slightest
signs of emotion. If appearances count
for anpthing, he would be the last man
of hundred to be charged with murder.
Attorney Henry 7. Gage, counsel for
the defendant, stated that he was ready
to proceed with the preliminary exam
inatian. Deputy District Attorney Da-
Wis, who is conducting the prosecution,
informed the court that the people were
not.quite ready, and asked for continu-
ance.
The case was set for 8 so O'Clock next
Friday morning, and he was committed
without bail.
So far as the securing of additional
evidence is concerned. there was moth
ing new developed yesterday. Aguilar's
friends are as confident as ever that he
lie innocent of the charge, and some of
them have made affidavits to the effect
that they saw him at Anaheim on the
day of the tragedy.
The case promises to be one OF the
most mysterious ever tried in the
courts.

PREACHED TO THE COURT.

A Nomadic Minister of the Gospel In
Court.
George D. Mealey, whose ministerial
appearance is only intensified by his
flowing locks, occupied seat in the
dock of the police court yesterday. He
was arrested last Saturday night by
Officer Dugan for obstructing the
streets.
Mesley was preaching to great
throng on Spring street, when he was
requested to make less noise and avoid
blocking the sidewalk. He paid not the
slightest attention to the request and
ran into the street, keeping up his IN
usually loud harangue. On the way to
the station he kept up his preaching in
unusually loud tones.
When his name was called in court
Attorney Stephens asked for dismissal
of the case.
The motion was consented to by the
prosecuting attorney, who, while he said
he had no doubt of the prisoners guilt,
wished the incident to serve as warn.
ing. 1t was his belief that the officer
was perfectly justifiable in making the
arrest.
The motion to discharge was granted
by the court.
Then Attorney Stephens said the de-
fendant would still keep up his preach
ing and would do just as he had done
before.
Mr.. Nealey was granted permission to
address the court, which he did by de-
livering a-fnished sermon. In relating
the incident of his arrest he referred to
the portion OF the scriptures from which
he took his text. would you like to
have the text, Judge ?' he asked.
''No, don't care for it," replied the
court.
Mr.. Mealey then told how, when he
was taken to the police station, some or
ficer said he was q fool. He alec said
that another officer requested to have
him put in padded cell. presumably
signifying that he was mentally unbal.
anced. His sermon to the court was
quite lengthy and not at all dissgreea-
