plished by Hume was that of freeing
himself of a post in me enclosure, to
which had been securely tied by the
committee. Before being fastened to
the post his hands and feet were Sc
curely tied together, the hands behind
his back. The thongs that bound him
to the post were placed about his an
kles and neck. Yet, with all of these
attachments, he threw out odd pieces
of furniture and wiggled himself free
of the strings in few seconds. While
securely bound he nailed a board to
chair beside him and threw the ham,
mer out. While he was performing
this trick French endeavored to look
through a hole in the end of the enclos-
ure, but spirit" jabbed him in the
eye. While the doctor was securely tied
up French was induced to enter the
cabinet and hold his hands. French sat
down close to the doctor and held to
him with the grip of a drowning man.
but when the committeeman came out
he was minus his watch and chain; the
doctor had touched him and had the
timepiece in his own pocket.
The doctor next performed the slate
writing trick. Tom Gray held the
states. of which there were two secure
ly fastened together with a rope. Gray
held the states on his head with his
hands and the doctor held his hands
on Gray's. Gray said he could hear the
writing and when the states were OPP
ened the sentence, Truth is stranger
than fiction" was found written on
one. The states were then broken.
Another neat trick was that of re-
moving a pair of handouts from his
wrists. The committee had placed
them there and held the open sesame
(the key as they supposed, but Hume
took them off in no time in the enclo-
sure and locked a small pitcher to the
arm of a chair with them.
His trunk naturalization trick was
good, but not the equal OF some OF
those he had previously performed.
Mrs. Hume, who is five feet seven
inches TALL crowded herself into
trunk, the lid of which was afterwards
strapped down. The trunk was then
placed in the enclosure and all the
lights in the house save a dim one in
the wings of the stage turned out. A
few seconds later, what appeared to
be a phantom bobbed up serenely in
sight of the audience at one end of the
cabinet. Later, when the trunk was
opened the woman was found In APP
parently the same position as that in
which she had been placed.

He was a mean mana very mean

said, inquiringly.

GEORGE HILL KILLED
An Unusual Accident Results Fatally
in the Six O'clock Mine.
STRUCK BY A FALLING PIPE
1t Was Thought at First That He
Was Only slightly lnJured-He
Leaves Young wife
or f-4r and one hid

George f. Hill. engineer at the Six
O'Clock mine, was killed about 2
O'Clock yesterday afternoon by being
, struck on the side by an 1S-foot iron
pipe. Hill was engaged with several
other men in adding some pipe to the
column in the shaft about 200 feet from
the surface. Hill was down at the
point where the connection was to be
made and the pipe was being lowered
from the surface bv hand. with Terry
Lennon in chal se while another man
went down the shaft with the pipe.
The rope with which it was being low
cred had four half bitches around the
pipe. A short distance above where
Hill was the pipe was caught in the
timbers and was jerked loose by the
man who was guiding 1t and in some
way il slipped from the rope and fell
down the shaft, striking Hill sidewise
on the right side. just below the ribs,
and throwing him against the timbers
on the side of the shaft
Hill was taken to the surface and he
at once said he would die, although the
others did not believe he was badly
injured, as the only bruises that could
be found on him was an abrasion of
the skin on his side. An ambulance
was summoned and the injured man
started for a hospital, but he died on
the way to town. having lived about
three-quarters of an hour after the &C
cident.
Hill was 30 years of age and had been
employed at the mine only a short
time. II leaves a young wife and one
child who live at the Baker house on
Utah avenue. Hill came from Golden,
Col, about six months ago. The body
was removed to Sherman's undertake
ing rooms and Coroner Richards was
notified and will hold an inquest at
O'Clock this evening. Deputy Mining
Inspector Miles will also make an in
vestigation into the accident to-day.
The Six O'Clock mine is under lease
by Richard Watson and others, and
Mr.. Watson is manager and Terry Len
non foreman. Hill will probably be
buried by the Brotherhood of Station
airy Engineers.
