Denver, March 10.-A special to the
Rocky Mountain News from White
Oaks, N. NJ. says:
at O'Clock this morning, fire broke
out in the change room at the hoist
house Of the Old Abe mine, and in a
few minutes the structure, a large
and well built one, was a mass of
flames. It was completely destroyed,
together with the wood and smith
shops. The mill sixty feet away es-
capped without damage. The woodwork
OF the shaft was burned out, and the
hosting machinery destroyed.
The damage runs high up into the
thousands. but the most distressing
feature is the fact that eight men are
imprisoned in the dark depths whose
fate is unknown.
There is little ground for hope that
they have escaped suffocation. 1t
will not be possible to enter the mine
to seach for them until some time to-
morrow. Rescuing parties have been
unable to get down further than the
third level by the air shaft. The
smoke and gases from the charred
wood of the hoist shaft has penetrated
the upper levels and it is impossible
to pass them.
The entombed are:
Charles Sherrick. w. j. Williams,
Frank Wilson, John Davis, George
Baxter, = White, Jerry ConOVer and
w B. Mitchell.
Williams and Sherrick are old in
mining experience and have faced like
dangers before. They are cool-headed
and If any place of safety vas to be
found they found it. The fire drove
the engineer from the hoist while
George Wilkinson was going down on
the bucket. He had reached the ninth
level when the hoist was abandoned
and was shot down 200 feet to the 18th,
when the bucket struck, tipped and
threw him into the drift He was
stunned but recovered and climbed
bach to the second level and escaped
/. by the air shaft This is the only seri-
Gus mining accident here since the
hnrning of the South Homestake shaft
several years ago, when two men were
Smothered.

WAS A FORGER.
WHY PROMINENT CITIZEN COM
MITTED SUICIDE.
Up to His Death He Had Borne the
Best of Regulations, and the News
Created a Profound Sensation

Omaha, Neb., March 10.-At Crom-
we'll, a little town near Creston, Ia,
Dave Blossar a prominent citizen,
committed suicide. 1t developed today
that Blossar was forger, but to what
extent is not definitely known and
probably never will be. The Creston
National bank became aware that it
had collateral on Blossar that was
forged. and the Investigations revealed
that the populations of Blossar extend
ed over period Of three years. ALL
this time Blossar bore the best repu-
tation. 1t is variously estimated that
B!ossar's forgeries will reach $4,000
Besides he has borrowed large sums
from wealthy citizens on his own
notes. These notes will probably reach
$1,000 Last evening the Creston Ma
tional bank of this city filed attach
ments against BloSsar for $3.50, the
amount that Blossar has forged on the
bank. When the officer went to the
blacksmith shop owned by Rlossar to
arrest him, he endeaVored to evade
the officer, and failing, drew a re
VolVer and shot himself in the right
temple. 1t was learned that within a
week he attempted to commit suicide
by taking Strychnine.

special from Enterprise, 1. T., says
that a posse in pursuit of two men.

them ten miles east of that place. The
thieves refused to surrender and kept
up constant fire. having dismOunted

One Of the pursuers received a bull

ing him to fall from his horse. Finally
the entire party nassed and charged
the two criminals, forcing them to
take refuge IN a cabin Here the
thieves barrfcaded themselves and de-
family proclaimed that they would not
be taken alive.
After repeated efforts to induce them
to give up, the house was set dflre-
Although the roof was a mass of
flames, the thieves still refused to
come out Of the cabin and threatened
death to any of the posse who ventur-
ed near. At last the frame Of the
building fell IN, burying the despera-
does in the ruins and they were roast
ed to death.

REVIEW OF THE WORK OF THE
DOCKERY COMMISSION.
1t Has Saved Many Thousands More
Than 1t Cost, and the Results VIII
Be Apparent for All Time.

Washington, March 10.-A review of
the work done by the Dockery joint
commission of Congress, created for
the purpose Of inqufring into and ex-
aiming the status of the law organic
ing the executive departments. has
been printed. The greater number Of
the recommendations of the commits
sion, so far, have been put into practi-
cal operation and have been from time
to time made public N The review
shows that the entire cost of the COM
mission aggregated s41.264, while the
actual annual reductions in the GOV
eminent expenditures made as IL re-
suit Of its work, amount to $607,591.
The reduction the review con-
tinues. lis not for the time being only,
but will continue through each of the
coming years. The commission, how
ever, feel that the expedition of public
business and added security to the
government in its methods OF account
ing under the new systems inaugural
ed would have fully justified its exist
ence, even if there had been no dinninu-
ton in expenses
A census of the departments, held
here at the direction of the commits

eminent establishments at the ma
tional capital, there are employed IT,

economy is Illustrated by the fact that
not single error has occurred under
the system up to this time Much
space is given to recital Of the bene-
fits, which, the review asserts have
been accomplished as a result by the
commission aad subsequently incor-
porated in a bill approved by the presi-
dent July 81. 1894 The estimated an
nuaI saving resulting from this reform
is put at S239, 43O Among the recon-
mendation5 made by the commission
and not acted on, relate to the reor-
ganfzation of the Office of supervising
architect, contested land cases, repeal
of the land contest act, transfer of du-
ties of receivers of land Offices, public
surveys, abolition of the Office of soil
citor of internal revenue bonds of
government officials, checking of
money orders, abolition of naval off
GERS at all ports. and the establish
ment Of a substitute therefor in New
York, and writing and recording off
cial letters. These reforms, the COM
mission estimates, would effect an an
nual saving of S449. 929.

PendIeton, Ore, March 1e.-Umatilla
county had an addition to its citizen
ship of 1000 Indians when Judge Fee,
of the state circuit court, rendered his
decision as to their status declaring
the Indians, under the Dawes act,
entitled TO all rights, privileges and
immunities Of other citizens, except as
to the alienation of their allotted lands
on reservations. title to which was
transferred subject to trusteeship of
the United States government. The
effect of this decision, no doubt, if
sustained by the higher courts, will be
to remove all restrictions from the
Umatilla Indians, except in handling
their lands, which were allotted under
conditions. The Indian chiefs who
have been under arrest for defying
the authority Of the Indian court were
Immediately released and a council
called at Young Chiefs camp, fifteen
miles above the agency, of all the In
dams to consider matters. Near the
agency Captain Richards camped with
troop D, Fourth cavalry, from Fort
Walla Walla, accoutred for heavy SER
vice. Agent Harper said:
I called for the troops because
Judge Fees decision removes all my
authority over the Indians. No power
now. exists to prevent the indians be-
coming intoxicated and endangering
the lives of all on the reservation
They are now free to follow their ma
tufal inclinations and drift back to
Savages."
This radical change in the relations
of the Indians TO the people of this
county renders some citizens timid.
There are expressions of fear that dire
results may follow. The Indian agent
under the new regime can merely rent
the Indian lands to whites The Indian
court is done away with; the Indian
policemen are discharged, and the
state courts have complete and sole
jurisdiction
