ANOTHER INVESTIGATION,

Report Tina South Dakota's Governor Has
Exceeded His Authority.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 16.-A Pioneer Press
Washington special says:
1t is not unlikely that an investigation
will be instituted by the government
into the uses to which the Fort Sisseton
reservation in South Dakota has been
put by Governor Sheldon of that state.
The last congress gave to the state the
right to use this reservation for the en-
campments of its state militia. There
were about $3.50, 900 worth of improve
ments on the reservation. 1t is alleged
that Gov. Sheldon has sold a building
worth several thousand dollars to one of
his neighbors in Day county for $50. 1t
is further alleged that some 20O tons of
hay were cut on the reservation during
the past year which is up to date unac-
counted for. The state had no title to
this property, and even if it had Gov
rnor Sheldon was as much without
authority to sell any portion of it as he
was to dispose of the improvements,
and so the matter has been brought to
the attention of the authorities here for
investigation.
When Governor Sheldon's explana-
ton is received it may put an entirely
different construction upon the affair.

MINERS ENTOMBED
An Extens i've Cave-in at the Gay
lord Slope Of the Kingston Coal
Company.
Rescuers Hard at Work, But There
Is Little Hope Of Getting Them
Out Alive.
Many People Known to Have Per-
ished in the Blizzard in Okla
hOma Territory.

WTLKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 15.-An ex
tensive cavern occurred at the Gaylord
slope of the Kingston Coal company,
Plymouth. Seventeen men are en'
tombed. Rescuers are hard at work,
There is but little hope Of getting the
men out alive.
The Gaylord mine slope has been con.
sidered an Inflated colliery for more
than a year past. Only a month ago
there was an extensive cavern of the
surface, which weakened the roof of the
whole mine. So far as can be learned
this accident was caused by a further
depression of the surface.
The superintendent of the mine re-
ports that only IL men are entombed,
but II are missing.
John Cuddy, who was at work with
the entombed men, escaped with his life
by a hairs breadth. The fall cut him
on from the other workers by about two
feet. making a sort Of dividing line be-
tween him and his companions. Imme-
diately after the roof had fallen in he
could hear the men who We're entombed
S%roaning, then all was silent. He ran
and gave the alarm, and the work of
rescue was t once begun. AT no time
is 1t believed, was there any hope of
taking the men out alive.

Two Mississippi Towns Reported to Have
Been Blown Away.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-A special to The
Herald from Jackson, Miss, Y
The cyclone of Monday passed through
a sparsely settled section. It crossed the
Illinois Central railroad between Beau
regard and Martinville, two small sta.
tions. From there its direction was
through several interior counties that
have no railroad communications. On
this account only meager details
have been received. Hewlett and
Georgetown, two small interior towns,
are reported blown completely away.
Near the railroad where the cyclone
crossed there are few people. There the
wind was very heavy and leveled every
thing in its path. In hat immediate
vicinity first reports seem to have been
exaggerated, as no one is reported as
killed,

Before They Could Be Subdued He

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. - Carlo

Boone's wild animal show at the Mid.
winter fair, wa attacked by three lions
and SO horribly mangled that ne may

in progress IN Boone's arena for about
half an hour and the circular enclosure
was filled with people. The wild ami
mails are exhibited in a large cage in the
center Of the arena, and it was time for
the lions to 60 on. Three huge beasts,
Parnell, Romeo and Commodore, were
led into the cage by Thieman prepara-
tory to Boone's entrance. Suddenly the
electric lights went out. There was a
short interval Of silence, when suddenly

anne from the cage. 1t was followed
by a oar of enraged lions, the crunch
ing of their terrible jaws and groans of
the man in the cage. The large crowd
of spectators became panic stricken and
started for the doors. Women shrieked
and tainted, but the crowd were finally
induced to remain seated by attendants,
who had retained their presence of
mind. Finally lanterns were brought,
and there in the cage lay Thieman with
three lions clawing and munching his
PROSTATE form. Colonel Boone seized
an iron bar and entered the cage. With
shouts and blows he drove the beasts
from their prey and dragged the unfor-
tunate man from the cage. 1t was an
exhibition of bravery seldom seen
and the big crowd cheered the gallant
colonel. Thieman was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital, where his wounds, AZ
in number, were examined. By one
blow from a lions paw he had been
scalped from the forehead to the naps
of the neck. Under each arm were ter
rible bites, where the lions had attempt
ed to reach a vital spot. One of them
nearly succeeded, for he just missed a
large artery. The mans arms, legs,
thighs and buttocks were also bitten and
scratched.

secretary of war, who are mem bers ex'

managers has held exclusive control of

the appropriations committees that the
board make an annual report to the Sec
rotary of wal to be submitted by him to
congress; that an inspection OF the rec

inspector general, who is to report to

Representative Sayres, chairman of
the appropriations committee, says that
the changes were not intended to relieve
the board of its power.
1.-THE intention was to make the board
account to the treasury department for
the financial transactions, as all other
government officers have to do. They
are held accountable to the proper de-
partment for the use of moneys. The
changes were unanimously approved by
the members of the appropriations COM
without regard to party and have
no object but a more business like sys-
tenn of management.
Representative Cannon of Illinois, a
prominent Republican member, also
said:
"There was no intention to cripple
the managers of the homes, only to Sc
cure more intelligent administration,
