Evanston, Wy, March 21.-The total
number now known to have persisted
in the mine disaster at Red Canyon
yesterday evening, is sixty, of which
fifty-one are married men, and nine
young men and boys. Up TO this hour.
the bodies of the following out of a
total of fifty-three who met their
death in the mine have been recovered
and turned over to their relatives:
Albert Clark, John Morris. David
Laurie, George Hyde, John G. Locke,
w. H. Grieves, and Samuel Clay
single; and Samuel Hutchinson. Will
liam Morris, Thomas Booth, Benjamin
Coles, Charles Clark. Willard Brown,
James Limb and Fred Morgan-all men
of lakge families.
This leaves thirty-eight unrecovered
bodies N the mine.
The timbering has been largely
bloys sout, and the walls and roof of

shattered so that the lives of the
volunteer searching party of eighteen,

had.
The work of recovery of the dead
bodies from the mine today has pro-
crossed slowly. although the number

of another as fast as called for.
The perils of the undertaking have
constantly increased. for the reason
that the supports and timbering have
been splintered, dislocated and often
blown out while walls and roof have
been shattered by the powerful con-
cussion and shock of the explosion TO

by Judge Gilbert, at Portland, Oregon,
yesterday, in the application of the
American Loan and Trust company,
for the appointment of a new receiver
for the Oregon Short Line & Utah
Northern railway company. the Union
Pacific officials in this city wired for
the correct version of the decision this
afternoon Secretary Alexander Miller,
of the receivership, said in regard to
the decision:
This order does not in any manner
change the condition created by the
dismissal of the petition for a separate
receiver, as the whole question will
now go before Judge Sanborn on APP
plication in the Wyoming district.
Counsel for the American Loan and
Trust company will move for a hear
ing in the Wyoming court and notice
will be served on the counsel for the
other parties 1t seems to be the opin-
ion in Union Pacific circles that the
ex parte served in Portland will be IA
vorable to the receivers

late yesterday afternoon, signed an order
appointing John NJ. Egan receiver of the
Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern rail-
way
1.-The appointment of Mr.. Egan as re-
ceiver of the Short Line is not intended
to bind the court of Wyoming, but is
merely advisory. In case the matter

action as this court, the receiver will be
ready to take charge of the road"

pointment of a separate receiver, and 1t
was in this suit that Judge Gilbert ap-
pointed Mr.. Egan receiver. Egan's ap-
pointment will not stand unless the
Wyoming court decides to appoint him
after the case has been tried there.

ingS in the United States court here.

Ames suit which was by mutual consent
shelved in the hearing. Another was

handed down their opinion yesterday.
The other was the suit in which Egan
was appointed. The appointment was a
great surprise. following SO closely upon
the opinion of yesterday, which was con-
sidered adverse to the American Loan and
Trust company. 1t did not become gen
orally known until today that such an
order had been made Mr.. Egan is well
known among railroad men, having gain

ganza company. There she met a
wealthy manufacturer, Fitch Laird, of
Pittsburg, who induced her to go to
Pittsburg and live with him. Last Au-
gust it is said the woman insisted on
marriage and quarrel was the re-
suit. The aid of the police was in
voked by Mr.. Laird. and Miss Hatha-
way was accompanied fifty miles on an
enforced journey toward New York, by
a Pittsburg officer. When relieved of
her escort she promptly returned to
Pittsburg and prosecuted Laird Grim
inally for his part in her forcible re-
moval from the city, She succeeded in
having him fined. She then began a
suit of breach Of promise of marriage
against Laird. This action was pending
at the time of her death.

educated woman and is said to have
been the daughter of wealthy parents.
She eloped from an Iowa seminary at

by her father and when deserted by
her husband within two years after
their marriage she would not seek re-
