Bons Plans An Escape But Thin Didnt Pan
Out As He Wished Them To.
Like Banquo's ghost, Bons went
down IL has been very lonesome about
the Jail, he says, for two weeks past and
last Sunday he made up his mind to
break the monotony and bring the peo-
pie up TO the jail again. There was a
mattress and quilt in his cell and he
set those on, for the purpose, he
SAYS, OF blowing up the jail. There are
two cells Ia the cage in which lac IS con
fined. The cells are tight except at the
back which Is made oi grating similar TO
the cage. lie hung the quilt up over this
grating and then setting fire TO the
mat ttress he closed the cell door, thus
combining the flames 60 small
space. Bons went around into thC
other cell and, closing that door, laid
down nat on the floor. The fire must
have been burning for some time and til,
smoke escaping from the cell filed the
iail so foil that he could stand IL nc
longer so he began TO cry for assistance
Andrew Nelson heard him and in
formed sheriff Waite who FASTENED t.
the luil. In the meantime the fire bel
rang out and crowd gathered in
short time. A stream Of water wa,
turned on but IA the bedd ing had a
burned there was no danger Of the nan
os spreading there being nothing hut iro
about the cell Bons figured that Ga
Gre would warp tho bars 81 the cell s
much that he would bc able 10 get ont
: but his scheme failed. lie slept on th
iron floor that night and went withot
4 any sumner IN the bargain.

ated with Mr.. selden in this venture,
says that the quality was very good.
We should Judge that ID was sat siactory
as, upon the day of our visit Mr.. foote
and Capt Cundy made an inspection ol
the pit together with an underground
inspection OF the Iliawatha mine
There Is no large body OF the ore III
sight, ns vet, hut that it does exist there
and il desirable stuff has been proven
Now the operators are going 70 work to
see il il exists in paying quantities. Mr.
Selden i tenacious when he starts a
search OF that kind and it is sale to sny
that il the ore is on the property he will
find it before he stops
IresuERlpAN.
This mine is not working at present
and the superintendent Mr.. Gulgcn,
informs us that bc does not know when
il will work. There are about 1000 tons
Of ore on tie docks, Of which no disposi'
tion has been made and, with the present
outlook in the iron market it is not sur
prsing that the mine is idle.
THE DoBER
This property, which has passed from
the exploratory stage TO the dignity o
a mine was, at the time Of our visit
full Of wafer. Capt Roberts informed
us that ~ soon as the siding was fin
ishod work would be resumed Worl
was begun on the spur two weeks ag,
but, owing 60 some hitch in acquiring
title 60 the land for right Of way, opera
tions were suspended for "A time. Th
captain says that all necessary arrnng
ments have since been mnde md tha
work will be resumed in Few days
This property is interesting both irou
the fact that il contuins a fine body {
high grade ore and from the fact that J
seems 20 be a continuation OF the larg
Isabella deposit ON The forty ndioinn
II. This mine will furnish matter for
separate article when data which th
captain has courteously promised u
can DC gotten.

SCRAP IN A mARBER SHOP.

saturday night q young gentleman
went to the barber shop Of Mr.. l.. Har-
monson, on County street, for q shave.
After the work was done he handed
the barber % cents and Harmonson re-
fused to give him the change, saying he
owed llim Is cents. The young man
refused to allow him ITO do SO, and this
angered Harmon who, with his
friends, attempted ITO assault him. y
warrant was sworn out by Harmonson
against the young man, and in the
Mayors Court yesterday morning the
case was dismissed. Harmonson be-
came indignant at the decision and said
he would take "a repeal" The Mayor
stated to him that hs could not take an
appeal as he swore out the warrant.
He left swearing he would get even.
