IRON MOUNTAIN HORROR.
Fate of the Entombed Men is No,
Known.

Iron Mountain, Mich, Oct 26.-The
fate of the eleven entombed miners in
the Pawabic mine will not be known
for some hours yet, probably not until
2 o'clock. An immense mass of rock,
iron ore and broken timbers, twenty
feet in length, is to be cleared away.
Superintendent Brown is confident that
all but three will be taken out alive
and has hopes that all will be saved.
The accident was caused by a sand
stone Gaping on the hard level shaft
No. II giving way.
The following is a correct list of the
entombed men: Thomas Penglase,
John Farrell, William Oliver, Samuel
Husband, George Wilcox, Stephen
Allen, William Baird, George Porene,
John Thomas, George Richard, Peter
Heliberg.
Peter Hascoe, the shift boss and the
only man known to have escaped unin-
jured, states that the accident was
caused by the running water eating
away the sandstone Gaping in room
100 feet in height on the third level
This immense mass of rock, weighing
hundreds of tons, crushed through the
floor Of the level, carrying away the
imbers and everything to the fourth
level, on which the men were working.
He heard a laundering crash and by
fast running escaped. Peter Gabardi,
trammer at work directly under the
fallen rock, was crushed to death His
body has been recovered.
Cutting road through this wreck
age to the room in which the men are
entombed cannot be done hastily, for
the walls have to be heavily timbered
as the work progresses to avoid an
other fall of the ground. Although hard
and persistent work has been done
since the disaster occurred by as many
eager men as could be worked to ad-
vantage only the seemingly short dis
tance OF 10 feet had been cut through
and 10 feet have yet to be cut through.
which will take until evening.
An ominous feature and one that
convinces many miners that the men
VIII be found dead, is that, although
only ilfteen feet away, not a sound has
peen heard to indicate that they were
alive. The miners agree, that were the
men alive, this fact would have been
made known by some noise. 1t is the
general impression that they have been
suffoeated by gunpowder gas. Superin-
tendent Brown maintains that there is
an abundance of good air in the room
and is confident the eight imprisoned
men will be found unframed. Three.
he thinks, may have been crushed to
death. This is the worst accident of
the kind that ever occurred in this
range, the only approach to it being
the caving-in of the shaft at the Kel-
ridge mine twelve years ago, when
nine men were buried alive and the re-
mains never recovered
Some of the entombed men are alive
This fact was ascertained by signalling
with hammers. 1t is confidently ex-

Chemulpo, Oct. 26-Dispatches from
Win, dated at midnight, give ad-
ditional details of the battle fought
between the Chinese and the japanese
across the Yalu river.
General Nodzu, the Japanese chief of
staff, it appears, succeeded in getting
the main body of the Japanese army
across the Yalu river without mishap
before daylight on Thursday.
Then Colonel SatO was sent forward
at the head of a flying column on a
accommodating expedition, and he dis
covered the enemy occupying a forti-
fed position near the village Fushang
on the right bank of the Yalu Though
he had no artillery at his disposal,
Colonel Sato Immediately commenced
. the attack upon the Chinese and a
fierce fight followed. The Chinese
fought desperately and stubbornly.
( The attack began at 10 o'clock in the
morning and lasted until noon. when
the Chinese began to waver, broke,
and eventually retired in great dis
order. falling back upon Kulienchas.
The troops commanded by Colonel
Sato. after the Chinese had retired, set
to work upon the demolishment of the

marched in the direction OF General
Nodzu's main body, with the intention
of rejoining it.
The number of Chinese wounded is
not known. The japanese lost five
officers and ninety men killed and
wounded. Later dispatches said the
Chinese outposts were falling back up
on hulienchas. where it is expected
the only determined stand of the
Chinese in Manchuria will be made. 1t
is understood that Field Marshal
Yamagata's plans are completed in
every detail for infiicting what he
hopes will turn out to be "a crushing
blow upon the Chinese.
Several columns of Japanese troops
are acting in concert after the manner
adopted by the Japanese commander
at PingYang, and it is expected they
will deliver simultaneous attack up
on the Chinese position. If the Jap
anese field marshars plans are carl
ried out in the manner indicated in the
dispa tches from the front it is prob
able a network of invaders will be
completed around the Chinese position
by midnight Saturday, thus enabling
the Japanese attacks to be delivered
at dawn on Sunday, but if the Japan
csc columns succeed in occupying the
positions assigned them previous to
midnight on Saturday, it is believed
the attack will be delivered at the
earliest possible moment.
Some doubts are expressed among the
Japanese commanders as to the re-
ported strength of the Chinese posi-
ton at Kullenchas. 1t is reported that
the japanese batteries at Kullenchas
have been increased from three to
eleven. but, on the other hand, rumor
says it is extremely doubtful whether
all these batteries are fully armed

QUEER CASE DEVELOPED BY THE
AeUI CREEK ROBBERY.
MorganfieId Turns Out to BE Pro-
minent and Respected Citizen of
NeeIeyviIIe, MO.-Other Crimes
and Criminals.

Neeleyville. Mo-, Oct. 26.-When the
people of this quiet little city read of
the holdup and express robbery at
Auuai Creek. they little thought the
leader of the desperadoes was one of
their most respected citizens.
| Charles A. Morgan and his hand
some young wife have been residents
of Neeleyville for the past two years.
Morgan would frequently be gone for
month or two at a time, but the peo-
pie here thought nothing of it and no
one suspected that he was other than a
man of property who could afford to
take little pleasure trips at his will.
The first connection between Morgan.
of Neeleyville, and Morganfield was sus-
pected by Chief of Police Charles
Flanagan, when Morganfield was found
with his leg broken near Cincinnati.
Mr.. Flanagan at once took steps to
confirm his suspicion. The identifica-
ton was complete when he received a
photograph from the chief Of police of
Cincinnati of Morganfield as he lay on
his couch at the city hospital. Nor
gan left here about two months ago
and not even his wife knew where he
was and had not heard from him since
he left
Mrs. Morgan is a lady in every par
ticular, and is much distressed at the
accusations against her husband saying
that, Charley has too much sense to
do such a thing"
Since Morgan has lived here he has
made many friends and the people can
scarcely credit the statement that he
could commit such a deed.
While they admit that Morgan and
Morganfield are one and the same, they
still think there must be some grievous
mistake. and that he was not connected
with the robbery.
Morgan. while still at home, was
strictly temperate, paying his debts
promptly, and it is believed has con-
siderable property.

most serious charge ever lodged
against him was that of numbering

In September, 1892, McGrath and sew

They left the train after severely beat

NEz PIERCE RESERVATION.
Benefits That Will Accru When 1t Is
Thrown Open For Settlement.

Lewiston, Ida, Oct. 15-It is generally
believed now that the Nez Perez reserva-
ton will not be thrown open in way
to cause a scramble and a test of PROV
ess as was the Oklahoma domain. Pri-
vate advices and public utterances indi-
cate some other mode of procedure. A
sort of lottery scheme seems to be under
consideration in Washington, ID. c. This
plan was suggested by r. ]. Monroe, of
this city, who was receiver of the United
States land office in this district when
the first bill was introduced to open the
reservation land to public entry. From
the beginning the lottery plan received
favorable notice from the press. Har-
per's Weekly early last summer noticed
Mr. Monroe's recommendation and some
other eastern papers endorsed the adop-
ton of any plan that would insure
against the scenes and deeds so unde-
coming a civilized people which ensued
after the signal to begin the race for
land in Oklahoma.
From the letters. which are coming to
every public man in this city 1t is evident
that people want facts concerning the
opening of this reservation. The price
and the manner of payment seems to be
subjects of interest to intending settlers.
The law fixes the price of farming land
at S3.75 per acre. One-half ofs this sum
is to be paid at the expiration of two
years and the balance when patent is

best legal authority here that the set
tiers may commute under the rules pre-
scribed for homesteaders on the public
lands, upon the payment of $3.50 per acre
instead of $1.25- The early drafts OF the
bill would not have permitted communal
ton, but an omission in the rider which
was attached 10 the Indian appropria-
ton bill leaves that section of the old
homestead law in full force. This fact
is held to be an advantage. The pay

the charge of contempt in refusing to
open his books to Internal Revenue
Collector Kearns. Clark denies that he
or his firm is cheating the government
and says the collector simply wants to
get evidence against the firms custom
ers who may be disobeying the provi-

the books SO long as he does not use
the evidence so secured against the
firm
