Two Miners Bodies Brought Into

Said to Have Been Killed by a Cave,
but Circumstances Warrant
Investigation.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, June 20.-Three
men arrived here this morning with a
team from German station, in the noun
tains, some seventy miles southwest of
here, bringing tine bodies of David Men
zies and William or Charles Lomax.
They said that both men were working in
mining tunnel 200 feet long when it
caved and both were killed.
The accident was discovered by their not
coming to supper, aud investigation dis
closed their bodies in the tunnel, buried
beneath quantity of rock.
1t was given out that an inquest had
been held, and the men wanted the bodies
buried Immediately and without ex-
animation. They had no death certificate,
however, and the undertaken refused to
inter them.
The Coroner was notified, and on inves-

Cured a short distance over the line in
Ventura County. The Coroner of that
county had been notified and had tele-
graphed that he would attend to the case
but without waiting for him the bodies
were brought here.
On further investigation it was ascer-
tanned that Menzies had been to the Dis
trict Attorney here three times lately and
said his live had been threatened because
of quarrels about the mine and water, and
that no one need be surprised if he was
killed at any time.
Menzies is an oldtimer here and has

ROSEBURG. Or, June 20.-Upon the
request of the Mayor, Governor Lord Or
dered out the militia here last night to
protect Prisoner James Dixon, who shot
and killed Charles Rice on the 18th, from
mob violence. The order had the desired
effect. The mob hearing that the jail was
well guarded did not come. Sheriff Cath
cart took the prisoner to Eugene for safe
keeping ON the north-bound overland.
Having walked a short distance Cathcart
signaled the train, and. getting on board
with his prisoner, was soon beyond the
reach of the would be Iynchers.
The first intimation that an attempt
would be made to lynch Dixon was last
night when John Dixon, a brother of the
murderer, rode into Roseburg and in
formed the Sheriff that large mob was
forming at Blakesieys, the scene of the
crime, with the intention of proceeding to
Roseburg and demanding the prisoner.
The Sheriff and his deputies at once
made preparations for defending their
charge, but at last fearing that the mob
would be too strong for them to cope with
a consultation was held with the Mayor of
the city, which resulted in request being
made upon Governor Lord for aid.
The crime for which Dixon is awaiting
trial was the murder of Charles Rice at a
ball game near Blakesleys last Sunday.
The two young men were old enemies and
their quarrel was reopened over decision
concerning the game when, after few hot
words between them, Dixon drew a re-
volver and fired twice al Rice, both shots
taking effect and resulting in the instant
death of the young man.
