BARELY ESCAPED DEATH,

n t%llionaire Bradbury At Sea- Without
Food OF Water for Five Days.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.-Colonel
John Bradbury, the Los Angeles mil.
lionaire, has just barely escaped death.
For five days he was at sea in an open
launch and entirely without food. He
left his mines on Rosario river last
week to 60 to Mazatlan in a small
launch, there being only the engineer
with him. Outside the river they en-.
countered a storm and it was impossible
for them to reach shore. Fusland food
gave out and they burned everything
about the launch except the hull to keep
her going. even throwing in most Of
their clothing. For five days they bat.
tied with the storm, suffering from
starvation and thirst. The men had
signals of distress displayed and IA
miles south Of Mazatlan q tug sent out
by Bradbury's uncle sighted the launch.
At that time the engine had stopped
and. the men were lying in the bottom
of the boat half conscious.

heads between the Mollie Gibson and
Smuggler has had the effect of chang.
ing the draught to the north. In the
Clark tunnel, erected some hundred
feet above Smuggler shaft house, the
gas is becoming quiet strong and it is
more than probable that the workings
will have to be abandoned. The Owen
Haven tunnel is also beginning to feel
the effect Of the gas, although it is
hoped this can be kept clear by com.
pressed air. A force Of Smuggler men
worked all night in an attempt to get a
steam line to the burning crib. They
succeeded in getting within so feet Of
the burning crib and steam was turned
on shortly before Zoe 1t is hoped that
by using compressed air for driving the
steam forward the fire can be reached.

Smoke and gas are rising from the
Smuggler shaft in double the volume Of
Sunday, indicating the Roadway being
gained by the fire. So far the gas has
not started down and the pump station
on the ninth level still has good air.
The relief supply Of water which here.
tofore has been run into the Mollie Glib
son has been shut off and now the
Smuggler pumps are working to their
full capacity and throwing about 1900
gallons Of water per minute. An at.
tempt will be made to the re-
lief pump located on the fifth level by
the use Of compressed air. The Snug.
gler shaft has been abandoned with the
exception of hosting the men from the
ninth level to the seventh and eighth,
at which points they are attempting to
reach the fire. Unless the fire is soon
subdued it is feared that every mine on
Smuggler and Aspen mountains will
become S foul as to compel a suspen-
sion. In this event the entire district
will flood. 1t is said 36 hours more will
settle this phase of the situation.

Prohibition to Prohibit.

In keeping with the general feeling
that seems abroad in hesitate, States
Attorney F. G. Fleetwood has driven
in pegs very close to all those persons
in Morrisville and in the towns
throughout the county who for any
reason were considered as dispensers
of drinkables that might come in
conflict with the laws of Vermont,
and this in fulfillment of his duty as
States Attorney. While intoxi-
cants have been sold to some extent
here in Morrisvile and in the other
towns of the county as well, our genial
attorney has not had to meet and
handle such open and fragrant abuses
of the law as other States ATTORNEYS
have.
His Judgment in retaining from a
spread-eagle array of officers and
searches and possible abortive sez-
ures, and in their stead making a
personal visit and having a plain,
frank talk with those whom he has
considered open to some question
and expressing his determination to
remove all suspicion of the unlawful
presence and use of liquors in the
county, has met with favorable conn.,
ment and is considered in the light OF
a manly and reasonable way. 1t is
somewhat in line with what the
States Attorney of Orleans county
has done, though it is an improve
ment upon it; as Mr.. Annis sent out
a printed circular, while Mr.. Fleet
wood made personal call.
The effect of his move in the mat.
ter will be wholesome restraint, for
Attorney Fleetwood is fully deter
mined to watch the pegs very closely
and will promptly prosecute each
and every offense where evidence will
warrant. He is enthusiastically
backed by the sentiment and the
best wishes of a large class of citizens
here and throughout the county. He
has thrown down the gauntlet to the
possible unlawful sellers and users .ot
that which will intoxicate, whether il
be" per cent" or King Alcohol ITSELF
and has entered upon a crusade
which will be carried to a determined
and successful operation. The town
liquor agencies are receiving special
attention at his hands and no doubt
they have been little wide of the
| letter of the law.

We are glad to note that the
prospects for the return of our very
efficient corps of teachers are very
assuring and must mean large at
tendance in the fall.
Also to note that the graduating
class of another year will be quite
likely to tower over that of the
present year, in numbers.
That eleven of this years class
have received the two-years' teach
ers' certificates allowed by the school
law, under certain conditions.
That good many of the oUt-of-
town students and teachers fingered
until Friday, that pictures and pic.
lures were made, and that now, all
but those whose homes are here, have
gone, the groups on the street are
MISE ed and the lack of the frequent
striking of the old bell leaves "a sum
mer stiffness that we haven't vet be-
come accustomed to.
And finally that it seems absolutely
dangerous to pack over five hundred
people into Academy hall, as was
done on the night of the closing ex-
ercises. With all the support by
partitions that there is, there may
possibly be but little danger of a
disaster by collapse of the building,
and yet, as the insurance men we'll
say, it is always the unexpected that
happens, and such load up to the
third floor means an immense strain.
But putting that aside, any alarm
or panic started would result disas.
terously with such a packed con-
dition. People were standing in the
aisles, settees and chairs lengthwise in
the aisles hemmed other people in, so
it is easy to see the terrible results
if a stampede should be started down
those long stairs, with their some
what frail ratings. We have heard
several prominent citizens say that
such risks should never be taken
there again, when town hall, ON the
ground floor, may be had. Better
than this, however, is the possibility
that the town and village may be on
the eve of providing a more adequate
place for any such gathering. Nor
ristown and Morrisville should have
a public hall where one thousand
people may be comfortably seated

More About That Horse.

1t will be remembered that within
a short time we gave something of
an account of the horse trouble be-
tween our townsman, j. M. Joslyn,
and the we'll known grocery drum
mer, George E. Melvin of Cambridge,
the latter having given, under GER
tain conditions, to Mr.. Joslyn, a
horse which be drove in here one
night in very lame condition, and
which he had determined to have
killed and was looking for man to
do the job, when Mr.. Joslyn saw the
horse and expressed the belief that
he could bring it out of it's then di-
lapidated condition and which he
succeeded very well in doing. Within
a short time now Mr.. Melvin re-
plevined the horse and took it away,
hence a suit which attracted con-
siderable attention in the law office
of Powers & Powers on Monday
afternoon of this week. A. A. Niles
was the Justice in the case. G. M.

Elephants acquitted themselves with

my hall had been freshened up in
tinted walls and ceiling, and the

colors. These interesting exercises
drew an audience which it was i'm
possible to make comfortable in the
hall. So the school work is done

to say, there will be quite a general
return of our able corps Of teachers
to the work which they can do even
better than in the past, through the
experience that has been theirs.
