YOSEMITE STAGE ROBBERY.
A Farmer Under Arrest, Charged
With the Crime.

MADEIRA, June 22-Last night the
officers brought to town and lodged in
the County Jail John Tatum, rancher
residing near Pea Ridge, in Mariposa
County. He is charged with the robbery
of the Yosemite stage on the morning
CT Wednesday last
The officers traced the footprints from
the place where the broken express box
was found up to the door of Tatum' s
barn. The tracks of the horse that the
robber rode correspond exactly with
those of Tatum's saddle horse, and hair
scratched from the highwayman' S
horse which was found clinging to the
branches of trees has also been proven
to be that of the prisoners buckskin
pony.
Sheriff Prouty of Mariposa suspected
Tatum of the robbery of the Mariposa
stage about a year ago, but in that
case the proof was not strong enough
to warrant a conviction, and he was re-
leased.
Littlefeld and Robinson, who were
first accused of the robbery, have been
released from custody, also the stranger
who gave his name as Banner, as they
have sufficiently proven the claim Of
their innocence.
The preliminary examination of
Tatum is set for the 2Sth of this month,
and will be heard by Justice Aver of

The building was occupied as res
taurant on the lower floor, while the
second and third stories were utilized
as a lodging house. Samuel O'Keefe,
the owner of the premises, was recent
~ informed that the foundation was de-
fective, and on the advice of an ar
chitect the ground had been entirely
Il.
order that new underpinning might be
set in. Owing to some mismanagement
on the part of the contractors, the
structure was left insufficiently sup
ported. with the disastrous results
stated.
The ruins took fire directly after the
accident occurred, but the flames were
subdued with little difficulty.
An unknown lady who was passing
by the building at the time of the col
lapse was struck by falling timbers
and instantly killed.
The mangled remains of ]. Mays We're
removed from the top of the wreckage,
together with the body of Mrs. Silver
stein, an occupant of the lodging-h house.
The employees and guests of the res
taurant, eleven in number, have all
been rescued. Some Of them are seri-
ously injured. It is known beyond
doubt that two, or possibly more, peo-
pie are still buried in the debris. The
work of rescue is being rapidly carried
out. No more bodies had been recov-
cred from the ruins up to 10 O'clock
though it is believed from three to five
dodgers who are missing may be bur-
led in the wreckage.

right temple, fired and fell before the
other passengers on the boat realized
what had happened.
Several members of the crew OF the
boat rushed to the wounded mans as
sistance and caught him just as he was
falling over the stern of the boat.
His wound is fatal.
He was carried into the lower cabin
and it was found that the mans pockets
were filled with shot, it evidently being
his intention to fire the shot, drop into
the bay and sink before help could
reach him
The injured man was brought. to the
Receiving Hospital in this city, and his
death is only question of hours.
There was nothing found on the man
by which his identity could be estab-

about % years of age, and was dressed
in gray clothes, with a brown overcoat

COLORADO MINERS TROUBLES.
The Situation at LeadviIle Said to be
Very Grave.

LEADVILLE (Colo) June 22.-Two
conferences were held to-day between
the operators of the big mines and the
officials of the Miners Union, but with
out bringing about the hoped-for set
tlement of the strike. A number of the
big operators continue to declare they
will not pay the increased demand,
while others favor a compromise.
On the miners side the claim is made
that they cannot afford to work for
s.. 80, and that they might as well fight
for a raise now. President Bomberger
stated to-day that the miners will hold
out year, if necessary, and that they
will accept no compromise short of their
demands for SO in all mines of the camp.
The situation is very grave tonight,
and should the big mines be closed
down by the operators refusing to ac-
cede to the miners demands the other
mines will have to close.
