FATHER & SON

Oftentimes it has been said
that no local author could ever
successesfully produce a plav be-
fore a Minneapolis audience.
Judging from prospects it will
not be 80 after the production of
E. R. Leroux's drama, Gather
and Son." at the Lyceum Theater,
Jan. 9.
Having been read before one of
the most intelligent and critical
audiences ever assembled in any
city in the United States and ia
vorably received, "Father and
Son" has since been carefully re-
vised by It's author.
It will be produced by a very
competent company of profess
sional talent, and the stage mana.
ger engaged belongs to a leading
theater of this city and has years
of experience.
The sale of tickets will open at
the box Office of the Lyceum
Theater Jan. 2
About 500 tickets having been
already sold to prominent people
of the city, it will be advisable for
holders of same to have their
seats reserved as early as possible.
The play is now ready for pre-
sentation and a few finishing re-
hearsals are all that is needed to
make it a complete and artistic
success.

ANXIOUS FOR WAR.
Outbreak of the Coahnilas Expected
Near Indo, Cal.

1ndo, Cal, Feb. 25.-There is evry
prospect of war between the two fac
lions of the tribe of Coahuila Indians as
to which shall occupy the reservation
near Indo. Cabazon, the hereditary
chief, is nearly so years old and when
the reservation was managed by Agent
Rust CabaZon refused to correct alleged
abuses in the relations between the In
dams and the agent. Accordingly Joa-
quin Torres rebelled and with number
of followers established separate
camp across the valley. There has been
continual quarreling between adher-
ents of the rival chiefs and in settling
recent disputes the present Indian
agent, Francisco Estudillo, sentenced
Anton Razan, one Of CabaZon's lieuten-
ants, to five days work for Torres.
Cabazon's followers are preparing to re-
sist efforts to arrest Razan. They are
armed with rifles and ammunition and
have large supply of whisky. The
young Indians are eager for war and
trouble is predicted if the orders con-
corning RaZan are not rescinded.

SMOTHERED TODEATH
DISASTER IN AN ALABAMA
MINE.
Fire In a Slope at Pratt City Kills Two
Miners-Twenty In Danger-Mules
Worth $4,000 Destroyed in the
Smoke.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. ga fire
occurred in Rock Slope of the Tennes-
see Coal, Iron and Railroad company
mines at Pratt city yesterday morning
that resulted in the death of John Pat
ton and Louis Stevens, two miners, and
more or less serious injury to eighteen
others. Twenty miners, all convicts,
were in Rock Slope, near the air shaft,
at 2:3O o'clock, when they detected the
smell Of smoke and shortly afterwards
an immense volume of it came toward
them from the engine room, which was
between the air shaft and the cage
leading out of the mine. Driven by
the smoke the twenty men hurried to
the air shaft and there huddled to-
gether to keep from suffocating. Mean
while the smoke became thicker, as the
fire issuing from the engine room
reached seven trans just on the out
side and lot of waste and oil and
burned furiously. Breathing became
an affair of extreme difficulty. Twenty
three mules in the. stable in the mines
also felt the smoke and tried to escape
and tore about, kicking one another to
DEATH John Patton and Louis Stevens
finally left the crowd at the air shaft
and tried to get to the cage shaft. They
never reached it, but were afterwards
found dead near the engine room. One
of the men had his head crushed al
most into pulp, indicating he had
tried to kill himself rather than suffo-
cate to death. Smoke seen issuing
from the shaft brought help by the cage
and in three hours the fire was out and
the eighteen men at the air shaft
brought up in more or less serious
condition from suffocation. The mules
worth $4,000, were suffocated or killed
by one another's kicks.

FRENCH CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Expedition in Africa by Natives and 500
Soldiers Killed.

Expedition in Africa by Natives and 500
Soldiers Killed.
Paris, Feb. pa local PAPER reports
that the French expedition which left
Marseilles some months ago under the
command Of Commandant Monteil, for
service in the interior of Africa, was
surprised and sanguinary conflict en-
sued Three hundred men. comprising
half of the force of the expedition, are
said to have been killed, while the re-
mainder have been driven from the line
of march and their retreat has been cut
off. The minister of colonies has re-
ceived an urgent appeal from the COM
mander of the expedition for reinforce
ments. Commandant Monteirs expedi-
ton was intended to join the contin-
gent of Capt. Decaze, which was guard
ing the Ubanghul. 1t numbered about
600 men and eighteen or twenty Off
GERS, for the most part soldiers of the
foreign legion and Senegalese, wen who
besides being well drilled and armed
were one and all Injured to the African
climate. The officers, too, We're picked
men. The mission was intended to
practically assert Frances right to the
possession of the Hinterland country,
extending through the Bar-el-Ghazel to
the left bank of the Nile. This is part
of the section of Africa which the treaty
between Great Britain and Belgium had
nominally turned over to the former.
The treaty, however, was virtually
abandoned owing to the French pro-
tests, France denying the right of the
Belgo-Congolese government to cede
the territory to England. 1t was also
intended that Capt. Monteips force
should be backed up by two gunboats,
several steam launches and lighters for
transport purposes. Capt. Monteil is
well known for a remarkable voyage
lasting two years and half, in the
course of which he traversed Africa
from west to north, beginning at ST.
Louis and ending at Tripoli, voyage
the result of which was to increase ten
fold French ambition and to lay the
foundation of French influence in coun-
tries where no Frenchman had set foot.
