ANGELS CAMP FIRE.
Miners Cannot Yet Go to Work
in the StickIes Shaft.

ANGELS CAMP, Aug. 20.-The fire
in the Utica mine is about out tonight,
and it is believed the miners will be
able to go to work next Monday get
ting ore for the mills. All day shifts
of five men have been worked fifteen
minutes each fighting the fire. The
men were overcome by gas many
times, but all rallied and responded to
calls for work. The fire will be all
out before morning.
Several lighted lamps were lowered
into the Stickels shaft tonight, and all
returned extinguished by the foul air,
plainly showing that it would be i'm
possible for a man to live beneath the
surface at present Tonight there are
several large streams of water running
into the shafts, and should the condi-
ton of the mine remain unchanged to-
morrow the last decided alternative
will have to be resorted to, which is
that of flooding the mines. This will
mean an enormous expense to the COM
pany, as we'll as the prostration of busi
ness over the entire town of Angels
and the adjacent country. Hundreds
of miners will be thrown out of en-
ployment. The streets are packed with
anxious throngs tonight, eagerly
awaiting the latest news from the
mine.

MURDER OF SCHoFIELD.
The Widow and butcher Indicted
by the Grand Jury.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 20.-The Grand
Jury this morning presented indict-
ments against Dan butcher and Mrs.
Schofield, charging them with the mur-
der of G. w. Schofeld. Judge Lorigan
set Monday morning for their arraign-
ment.
Early this morning DR.. John McMa-
hon went to Oak Hill cemetery and
made an autopsy upon the body Of
Schofeld which was exhumed last
night. Besides DR.. Mcmahon. there
were present Dr.. ]. 7. Higgins of Nor
gan Hill, District Attorney Herring
ton and DR.. Parkman. Dr. Mcmahon
had been instructed by the officials to
make an autopsy, in order to determine
the course of the bullet and the cause
of death. He found that the bullet,
which entered the left cheek just below
the eye, tore through, carrying part Of
the facial bone with it, to the base
of the neck on the right side. All the
bones of the face were fractured, and
there was a fracture on both sides of
the skull. The right vertebrae was
broken, the jugular vein severed, as
well as the right carotid artery. Death
was necessarily instantaneous. A
plaster cast will be made of the head.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O-At

knocking out Johnny Griffin of Boston
in the seventh round. 1t was Smith S
fight from start to finish. He did all the

the third round put Griffin on the floor
for eight seconds with a right swing
on the jaw. A moment later Smith
opened a big cut over Griffin's right eye
with a left swing.
In the fourth he jabbed and swung on
Griffin's face repeatedly, and the Brain
tree lad looked worried at the close of
the round.
The fifth and sixth were comparative
ly slow.
In the seventh, after two minutes
sparring, Griffin led for the face with
his left, but missed. Quick as a flash
Solly swung his right, striking Griffin
sQuarely on the point of the jaw. Grif-
fin was knocked out and remained on
the floor without moving muscle until
his seconds carried him to his corner.
Even then it required several minutes
work and the attention of a physician to
restore him to consciousness. He fin
ally came around and was able to walk
to his dressing room.
