CRUSHED UNDER A BOULDER
One Miner Instantly Killed and Another
Dangerously Injured.
ROCK FALLS IN MAPLE HILL !
The Unfortunate Men Were at Work
shoveling Away Debris From Under
the Treacherous Mass When
it Fell without Warming.

There was an accident in the workings of
the Maple Hill colliery last night by which
one miner was instantly killed and another
dangerously injured. A third man working
on the shift escaped injury, although he was
close TO the victims when the accident oc-
Cured. The man killed was Albert Defrehn,
who resided at 21S West Coal street. The
injured man is Anthony Bubnis, Lithu-
anian, residing on North Plum alley.
Defrehn and Bubns were contractors ON
the night shift driving what is known as
No. plane of the slant gangway. Both men
were under the top rock, shoveliug out the
loose stuff to George Matchulis, the laborer
who was shoveiing the debris into a car
The intention was to clear the place and
make ready for another shot 1t was be-
tween seven and eight o'clock After the
miners had shoveled for some time the top
rock fell without warning. A solid mass fell
upon Deflehn, throwing him down upon his
face and crushing the life out of him. Death
must have been instantaneous. Bubnis, the
Lithuanian MINER was fortunate, but suf-
fered considerably. He escaped the bulky
mass and was covered by smaller pieces. He
was not as close to the face as Deirehn was.
Matchulis, who was not working under the
top, but close to the opening under it, es-
capped the fall and did not receive a scratch.
Matchulis hurried out after the fall
occurred and summoned assistance from
the main gangway. Willing hands were
soon at work and Bubnis was pulled
from beneath the debris in half smothcred
condition. Efforts to get Delrehn's body
out failed for time. The piece Of rock that
pinned it down was so heavy that the united
efforts of nine men could not move it. The
men were obliged to break the rock in pieces
to get the body out An examination of the
remains showed there We're no outward indI-
cations Of mutilation. Buhnis right iee was
crushed below the knee and his body was
badly confused. 1t is believed he is injured
internally. Bubnis was sent to the Miners
hospital this morning.
Albert Defrehn was IS years Of age. He
is survived by a wife, but no children. The
funeral will take place at o'clock on Friday
morninga and Rev. Robert O'Boyle, pastor of
the Trinity Reformed church. will ohciate at
the ceremonies.

CATTLEMEN EXCITED.

Determination of the Stockmen of Green
wood County, Kan, to Keep Mexican
Cattle Out.
EUREKA, Kan, April 17.-There has
been great excitement among cattle
men here during the past week, oc-
casioned by the shipping in of Mexican
cattle. Two thousand head were I'M
loaded at Summit, Is miles west of this
place, last week, despite the protest of
local stockmen and the live stock sani-
tary commission. These cattle are
now in quarantine and another con-
signment is expected here to-day.
The owners will not be per-
mitted to unload them. The Green
wood County Cattlemen's Protective
association, the strongest organization
of stockmen in the state, has taken the
matter up and will resist the bringing
of any cattle from beyond the quaran-
tine line. The cattle are brought here
for pasturage and the president of the
association, o. E. Laid, yesterday
served notice on the pasture owners
that if necessary force would be en-
ployed to prevent the importa ton of
stock under ban. The cattle interests
of this county are large and the owners
of stock are determined to take no
risks of splenic fever.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, April 17.-Thurs-

Swanson, of this city, will leave the
city hall, pushing a wheelbarrow, on
which Thomas Wallace will ride to
Chicago. Wallace is a sadler by trade,
but was engaged in a rock quarry for

year ago. He lost both eyes and two
fingers from the left hand in blast,
and has beer in the county poor
house since. The accident took place
at the village of Alta Vista, Wabaunsee
county, Kan. Wallace says his reason
for making the strange trip is to earn
his living, as he is tired of life at the
poor farm. He is well acquainted with
the country over which he expects to
travel, and hopes to be back by June
in order to be on hand for the trial of
damage suit against the road.

PICTURES BY TELEGRAPH.
The First Experiment Proves 3 Gratifying

The First Experiment Proves 3 Gratifying
Success.
SAN Francisco, Cal, April 1.-THE
first experiments ever made in the tele-
graphing of pictures for long distance
was made by the Call last night, when an
outline picture of the entry of the queen
of the fiesta at Los Angeles was wired
from the latter place to this city. The
experiment was successful Charles
WiIloughby of this city is the inventor
of the scheme.
The inventor believes his idea to be
most valuable in newspaper work, or in
the police or secret service. If the sue
cess of the process is demonstrated he
will establish agencies in this city, Chi
cago, New York and Washington. A
good picture, he says, can be sent at the
cost of and in about the space
of $50 words. 1t should be by an
expert, and if not too elaborate
take no longer than half an hour
to send and reproduce a drawing
The picture is drawn originally upon a
paper ruled off into small squares, each
about one-tenth OF an inch IN diameter.
Each vertical line is nun bered along the
upper margin and each horizontal line is
lettered down the slate. Every square is
therefore identified with number and a
letter and its location is where the two
lines designated cross each other. With
the original drawing before him the OPP
orator describes the course of lines from
point to point and the message contains
only as many signs or com binations as
there are changes in the direction of the
lines forming the picture. This descrip-
ton being received at the other end of
the wire, the lines described are simply
reproduced upon a similarly ruled sur
face

ARMED MEN
Parade the Streets of the

Serious Trouble is Feared When
Officers Arrive.
GANG MUST DISBAND.
All SheriffS and COnStables Have
Been Called Out.
MUST DISBAND.

ARDMoRE, I. T., April 17.-One hun
dred armed men are reported near
TishomingO, the Chickasav capital
Gov. Mosley notified all sheriffs, con-
stables and deputies to report to him
for actual duty before daylight yester-
day morning. His intention is to dis
band the faction, which is composed of
Charles and Willis Brown and Noah
McGill as leaders and their followers.
They claim to have been duly and
legally elected as sheriffs of Chickasaw
county. The legislature, however, ig-
nored their claims and other officers
were installed. This faction holds that
the legislature had no authority to in
terfere against them, hence their de-
termined effort to install themselves
now. Many of them are men with
record, and should whisky find its way
to their ranks the result would be ter
rible. Bloodshed cannot be avoided.

RIGHTS OF TNDTANS
GUTHRIE, Ok, April 17.-Judge Scott
handed down an important decision
yesterday regarding the rights of the
Kickapoo Indians to lease the lands
allotted to them direct. The ruling
came up in the case of L. c. Grimes,
who made lease of a couple of Kicka-
poo allotments without securing the
approval of the Indian agent or the
department, and enjoined the govern
ment from interfering with such lease,
claiming that the Indian was citizen
and had right to lease his lands when
once received and allotted. The United
States attorney claimed that the meth
cd heretofore obtaining should prevail,
and the decision of the court dissolved
the temporary injunction that had
been granted.
