A Miraculous I:,cRpc.

Owen Ellis had fall Of 10 feet ID the
shaft Of the Denver Coal Cumpanys mine at
Tindale near Golden, Friday morning, and
still lives to tell the story. wha: Is more re-
ilarkablc Is the fact that his health seems
but little the worse for this exciting expert
ence. few bruises apparently represent the
sum total Of all the injuries. Mr.. Ellis was
employed around the mouth of the shaft,
which Is divided into three compartments,
two Of which are partially covered over. In
looking into the main shaft to watch the
hoisting Of the cage, he slipped upon board
covering one Of the Other compartments. The
board gave way and Mr.. Ellis went with it..
His first stop was on a muddy platform 40
feet below, where he arrived without once
touching the sides Of the shaft.
A few weeks since J. w. secrlst fell 100
feet In the same shaft and was almost instant
ly killed. That Ellis should fall forty feet
more than this and yet escape serious injury
may be regarded as almost miracle.

removing Messrs. +. A. Reynolds, Charles

The specific charges against Commissioners
Reynolds and Boettcher arc the appointment
OF w. II. Loar, a detective for the penitentiary
and reformatory at salary OF $50 month
from each institution, and for paroling pris-
oners from the pentcntiar to the reforma-
tory. Commissioner Chamberlain was not

Whether the commissioners will obey the
order to retire admits Of very grave doubt, ac-
cording to statements credited to them dur
ing the investigation. They rest their claim
to the legality Of their procedure in paroling
prisoners from the penitentiary to the re-
