PORTLAND, Or, July 6.-The presen-

people OF this commonwealth subscribed
$4,000 for the United States battle-shi D
Oregon took place this afternoon and was
pronounced gala affair. Captain A. S.

EN70MRED M AN ARIZONA NINE.
WoTkmen Imprisoned Aivs in SHAFT
By Landsiide at Cold
fields

PHOENIX, ARIz., July 6.-Charles Ste
vens an empIoye of Sullivan & Hall, at
Goldfelds, was caught within a landslip
yesterday and the cnance of his rescue is
deemed a slim one. Stevens was working
single-handed on breast of ore and was
the only man in that part of the mine at
the time. The slide, which must have
been caused by defective tim bering, caused
a. the surface a yawning hole into which
the mines carpenter-shop tumbled. The
mill was believed TO be in danger, but
there has been no subsequent caves.
Stevens was alive yesterday, as the res
cuing force could hear the sound OF his
pick and drill. He had luncheon, two
gallons of water and several candles. The
space left to him at the end of the drift
must be very small and 1t is feared that
the man will suffocate before help can
reach him.
A large force of men, working in short
shifts, is making a shaft above tn i'm
prisoned man. As nearly fifty feet of rock
and debris are to be penetrated, it is not
believed posi- BILE that he can be ex ricated
n less than five days.

F0RSYTHE'S DOUBLE AT TACOMA.

Sp.rituaLst Missing Frtm
O.koDd

TACOMA, WASH, July Either viii
liam 6. Forsythe, who decamped from
Oakland ten days ago, taking his baby
from its mother is in Tacoma, or another
spiritualistic medium who closely resem-
bles ForsytAe has had almost identically
the same experience. Clarence f. Chester
arrived here last week and stopped at
Chilberg's Hotel Later he went TO the
Bay View House. A friend who accom-
panied him advised him to be careful to
register under the same name that he
used at the Chilberg. This indicates that
CT ester uses aliases and il will be remem-
bered that Forsyt the gave lectures in Cali
fornia under the names OF Chester, De
Forrest and others.
Yesterday Chester told new acquaint-
ar rces here that he had bsen arrested for
stealing team of horses and ii cost him
$3.50 to settle. This seems 10 tally with
the arrest of Forsythe at Auburn, Cal.
on similar charge. Chester has baby
with him which he says Is over years
old. He talks of his baby to every one,
but II has not been seen in public, and he
says that q private family is caring Tor it.
According To Chester he has had an ex-
perience similar to Forsythe's, for he says
he separated from his wife in Denver and
look he baby away from her.
Chester SAYS he met Forsvthe ut Seattle
and Spokane last spring. and was told the
story OF Forsythe's domestic troubles by
Forsvthe and Vincent Parker, who was
alternately manager for both OF the lee
turers on spiritualism. He has seen For
sythe cry over his absent baby, and declare
he would secure and Keep it, for there being
no divorce. he had as much right to it as its
mother. Forsythe, says Chester, sued his
wife for divorce in Los Angeles but
dropped the suit at her request They
were reunited and lived together in JAM
uary at the Baldwin Hotel under the
name OF De Forrest. They went to Oak
land, where sne left HIM and went to work
in a restaurant.
Chester says he will stay here a month.
He wants 10 be left alone. but there are
still people who believe there is some con-
nection between him and the missing For

AerOnaut WeStOn'S Life
Sacrificed to His
Pride.
Had Been Taunted Because a
Gale Prevented One
Ascension.
Both Victims OF Mondays Accident
at Eureka Succumb to Their
Injuries.

EUREKA, CAL, July 6.-The two men
injured in yesterdays balloon ascension
died early this morning Neither regained
consciousness. George Weston Daggett,
known as Professor George Weston, the
aeronaut, who was swept from The trapeze-
bar when the balloon struck the trees,
died at o clock. From his fall of forty
feet he sustained a conclusion OF the
brain, a compound fracture of the right
thigh and several broken ribs. His COM
panion and assistant w. J. Tapscott, or
"Scottie," who became entangled in the
ropes and was carried thirty feet into the
air sustained injuries almost identical
with those of Weston. The ascension
would undoubtedly have been successful
in spite of the wind if Tapscott had not
been overcome by the hot air while watch
ing the flames and fallen PROSTATE across
the ropes.
The balloon was found to-day near the
south fork of Eel River, several miles
from here.
The business men who were in charge
of the celebration have been te eiegraphing
all day to supposed friends to get direc-
tions before disposing of the bodies. No
definite word has been received yet.
1t is believed Weston, or Daggett, is a
native of Astoria and that Iapscott halls
from Aberdeen, Wash. Neither of the
unfortunate men was over 80 years OF
age.
Weston was advised by mem bers of the
carnival committee not to make his ascen-
sion if the conditions were not favorable,
but as he had failed the day before on ac-
count of the wind and had been called
faker by many in the crowd he was de-
termined to save his reputation from such
imputa;ion. AS he was about to start he
turned to an acquaintance and said:
1--WE aeronauts all have 10 get killed,
and this looks like my day"
He went up exclaiming, "W no says I'm
q faker?"
Weston is the aerist who has been max
ing the balloon ascensions at the Chutes
in San Francisco.

SAN RAFAEL'S GHOST AGAIK.
Uncanny Visitor Danced on tho

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Ju'y eff the
story told by Augustine Valencia is not
the wild fancy of q liquor-soaked brain,
then the ghosts that haunt the Marin
County Jail held festivities of no mean
degree 10 cele brate the National holiday.
Valencia was arrested yesterday morning
for disturbing the peace and being drunk.
He was thrown into jail at 10 O'Clock and
al 80 in the evening Constable William
Treanor saw him in his cell and spoke to
him. He was sober then.
This morning when Treanor went to
the Jail Valencia told him the oft-repeated
story of the ghost. He had not seen il,
but had heard it. 1t was dancing jig
and singing, and the step kept in time
with the song. Treanor carefully ques-
toned the man. and had him point out
the location of the sounds. Without hes
itation the prisoner pointed in the direc-
tion of the cell where Argo years ago had
hanged himself.
Called to them," said Valencia, 'but
they didn't answer me or stop
Valencia told the same story to Under
Sheriff John Harmon this morning. Be-
fore Justice Gardner to-day Valenc:a was
sentenced TO serve five days, which he
will spend with the ghosts.

old Blanch McHugn passed through a
thrilling experience at Somersville yester-
day, where she had gone with her parents
10 celebrate the Fourth of July. With
several other children she was playing
around the yard when she ran into an old
well and fell down distance of forty
feet. 1t is miracle that she was not in
stantly killed.

fallen into the we'll he became almost

fectly cool. She called back Tor them to

face. The only injury she sustained was
slight scratch on one of her fingers.
The well was dry and ashes had been
thrown into it. The girl skirts must have
acted as kind of parachute and the soft
ashes also helped to lessen the effect of
the fall.

Attempts to Kill
His Child.
Planned to End His Own Life
and Wanted Her to Die
With Him.
Both Drink Deadly Drug, but the
Little One Is Saved From
Death.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 6.-W. II.
Person, formerly employed in the freight
department of the Santa Fe Railway in
this city, but who has lately been out OF
employment, attempted to murder his
eight-year-od daughter at an early hour
this morning and then committed suicide.
Before committing the deed he told the
girl OF his plan and persuaded her that
she would be able to see her mother, who
is dead, if she took poison with him.
He gave her a drink of carbolic acid and
drank prusslc acid him self. He had sent
a letter to a friend named Ball, telling of
the deed. This he expected would be de-
livered to-day, but the letter was de-
llvered last night late, and Ball hurried
to the room of Person in time to find him
gasping his last breath.
The little girl was taken to hospital
and, although her tongue and throat were
burned by the acid and she suffered great
agony, her life was saved. The girl told
her father she did not want to die but
took the acid because she thought she
must obey him.
Person was particularly popular among
the railroad men, although one of them
said this afternoon that he had suspected
for some time that the man was not in
his right mind.
"We never suspected anything of this
kind" said one of his fellow employees in
the Santa Fe railroad office. ''If we had
we would have taken steps to see that the
man and the child were both properly
cared for. That goes without saying. 1t
is now TOO late 10 do anything for the
father, but the company will see that the
child is taken care OF, and if it does not
the men in the office will. We have al
ready taken steps to find Persons rela.
tives. Mr.. Ball, his friend, is looking
after thai. When the little girl gets well
enough she will be sent to them"
Person has been very despondent since
the death of his wife, This dependency
affected his mind. it is now believed, to
such an extent that he neglected his
work, and. in consequence, lost his posi-
tion. He had been a trusted employe of /
the Santa Fe, and the loss of The place |
also preyed upon mind already on the |
verge of collapse.
Person was not a man who drank to ex- |
cess, and he was deeply devoted to his |
little daughter, which DEVOTION probably !
led TO the con inception of the idea that it |
would be better for them to die together. /
Alter he lost his position in the railroad |
Office he found it almost impossible !
10 give the child those little comforts
to which she had been accustomed,
even to procure for her the barest neces-
saries. The struggle and his troubles
broke him down at last. and he was un-
questionably mad when he wrote the let. |
ter which brought Ball to his side in time
to see him die and to save the life of the |
child.
