FELTS HAS GONE.

Felts has mysteriously disappeared-H His
flying machine with which he was to
have attempted the flight from Pixies
Peak to Colorado Springs is still housed
on the top of the peak.
There have been rumors that Felts'
nerve was becoming shaky which was
offset by statements from the professor
that ne was waiting for clear day.
Felts went down the mountain side
Friday after stating that he was going
for a walk, since which time nothing
has been seen or heard of him.
His friends say he has probably lost
his way in the wilderness west of the
peak and may have fallen down preci-
pice and been killed or injured. They
have been searching for him since Fri
day. The majority however, are skep-
teal enough to believe that the profess

frozen to death at the top of Mt. Ia
oners there for three nights and four
days by a storm. AS the party was as
cending the mountain, the storm gath
cred and increased to a hurricane just
as they scrambled over the rim of the
crater into shelter. They huddled to-
gether during the first night and not an
eye closed in sleep. The next day an at
tempt was made by the men to prepare
to escape, but the wind blew them back
from the crater's rim.
The second night was passed in q
sheltered ice cavern, with the sulphur
laden steam rising on all sides. Prunes
and hard tack softened by the steam
was the bill of fare, and before the
morning of the fourth day every NOR
sci had been devoured. In addition to
the prospect of freezing to death the
party was face to face with starvation
The storm broke on the fourth day and
all escaped.

Mazamas burned for firewood the big
hagpole which Oscar Brown of Gle

hung. Mountain climbers from all parts

BLAcKLIsTED EVERYWHERE.
Telegraph Operators Futile Search
for Work,

st. Louis, Aug. 16.-Robert D. Rog-
ers, a telegraph operator, whose home
is in Bellevil1e filed a suit at that place
Saturday through his attorneys, Webb
& Webb. for $25, 900 damages against
the Mobile and Ohio and the Illinois
Central railroads.
He claims that part of his evidence
against the railroads will be authentic
copies of the blacklists of the two roads
and a written statement from respon-
sible railroad official that he (Rogers)
is blacklisted on the records of nearly
every railroad system in the country.
In 1894 Rogers was employed in the
Ohio railroad at Cairo. He says that
he stuck to his post until he became
convinced that his life would be in dam
ger by remaining at work. In Self-pro-
lection he resigned and then he was
blackliSted.
Since that time he has been unable
to secure regular employment with any
railroad for longer than a fortnight.
He has travelled from town to town,
changed his name and resorted to ev-
cry subterfuge to get the work of which
he stands in need.
In every instance, he claims, he has
been discovered, and his discharge fol-
lowed Immediately.
His latest effort was in the office of
the Illinois Central, where he obtained
work about a month ago. He claims
that as soon as the superintendent
found that he had been blacklisted he
was discharged and for no other rea-
son. a
He has had similar experiences in
Kansas City and Indianapolis, and he
will set up proofs that the railroads
him from an opportunity to earn liv-
ing
