His body was not discovered until this
morning. The mine took fire after the
explosion, and, as they could not reach
their imprisoned comrade, they pumped
air into the mine all night. hoping that he
had remained where he would have been
safe. After The flames were extinguished
this morning they ventured into the mine
and found Rassia's dead body. The other
miners were somewhat burned by the ex-
plosion, but not dangerously. The dam
age was about $1,000. The mine was for
merly known as the Eureka, when it was
owned by John Treadwell.
There was great excitement here when
the news came into town, and a large

GENERAL ATHLETICS.
Reliance and Olympic Football Teams
Challenge Accepted.

Reliance and Olympic Football Teams.
Challenge Accepted.
The much-talked-of football match be-
tween the Reliance and Olympic Club foot
ball teams will take place Saturday after
noon at Central Park, and it goes with
out saying that this game will be the
sharpest and most stubborn contest played
so far this season.
AS there is no very friendly feeling still
existing between the clubs, owing TO the
misunderstanding that resulted in the
making up of the teams in the early part
of the season, the friends of either side ex-
pect TO see some hard playing on Saturday
next, and in all probability they will not
be disappointed. The Reliance Club play
ers recently returned from the north, after
having handsomely disposed of every team
they encountered on the gridiron while
away from home. The Butte City players
gave the Oaklanders a close race for place,
and if the latter will prove able to defeat
the Olympic boys on Saturday. it would
be only reasonable to conclude that the
Reliance kickers will win from the Butte
City team again when they will play their
second game in this City.

until Crowley is believed to be out OF
reach.
CITY Marshal Ramage of this place has
advised Sheriff White TO secure some
bloodhounds and put them on the trail.
AS Crowley is known to have doubled on
his trail more than once it is not thought
that the hounds would be seryicea6le.
The canyons begin within half a mile of
here, and it is possible Tor a man to con-
ceal himself so that he would not be seen,
though but ten yards away;
Crowley has evidently become SO en-
boldened by his success in eTading capture
that he viii, It is thought, run his head
into moose before many days. His bold
ness is evidently greater than his judg-
ment, and if ne is captured it will be &C.
complished through his own overdaring.
