John j. Cox, a Miner, Nearly Killed In
the East Gray Rock.
John J. Cox, a miner at the East
Gray Rock, received painful injuries
in an accident which occurred in the
mine last night about midnight. Cox
was working in the drift on the 700
level putting In a set of holes when,
without warning, a mass OF rock fell
away from the wall. Cox was struck
on the left shoulder by a big piece of
rock, INK another struck him a glanc-
ing blow on top Of the head. He was
Knocked down, and when assistance
reached him IL was thought he was Sc
verely injured.
He was taken TO the surface imme-
diately and sent to Murray & Freund's
hospital. An examination of his In
juries proved he had had a very lucky
escape. II was found he had only sus-
tanned a d~islocated shoulder and a
couple of scalp wounds, and although
he regarded hat as bad enough, he
was very fortunate that he was not
more seriously injured. He suffered
intense pain while the dlslocation was
being replaced, but after his injuries
were dressed regained strength rapidly
and at a late hour was feeling very
comfortable. He will only be laid up a
few days.
Cox thinks he is in pretty tough
luck, as he had just returned to work
and was working his first shift after
being laid up with a poisoned finger
for some time. Cox IL a married man
and lives at No. 313 West Porphyry
street.

The above circular. dated Sept. /, and
bearing the signatures Of s. w. Eccles,
general traffic manager, and w. H. Ban
croft, general manager Of the Oregon
Short Line, was received in Butte yes
terday and created something of a sur

Shor Lin also brought Auditor ]. L.
Craig of the company n Mr.. Wilson.
h new agent who will succeed Mr..
Bacon. Mr.. Craig spent the remainder
OF the day checking up the Office prepa-
ratory TO turning 1t over TO the new
agent. n Mr.. Wilson will formally
take charge OF affairs to-day.
Mr.. Bacon, he retiring agent, was ap-
pointed about a year ago. when the
Short Line opened an independent Of
flee in Butte. He is a hustling and en-
ergetic young railroad man of expert
ence. and his resignation was probably

though Mr.. Bacon has not yet an
nounced his intentions. Mr.. Wilson, the
new agent, is well known in Butte, hav-
ing formerly lived in this city and for
years has visited the state in the in
terest Of the Short Line. Mr.. Wilson
has been in the railroad business all his
life. He entered the services Of the
Union Pacific in 1883 and was for a long
time connected with the Butte office
under i. A. Lewis who was at that tinar
general agent. Subsequently he was
under f. v. Maze and then he was
transferred to Helena and put in charge
Of the Union Pacific office in that city.
When the segregation occurred, Wilson
was sent to Salt Lake, where he entered
the Short Line general office as chief
clerk of the freight department, which
position he has held ever since, IN
position being equivalent TO assistant to
the general freight agent. After d. S.
Taggart, the travelling freight agent,
met with his accident Mr.. Wilson took
his place temporarily and came TO Butte
to take his new position on "a hours no.
tice. Mr.. Wilson brought his wife and
household goods with him, prepared to

Mr.. Wilson yesterday. Il have always
looked upon this city as my home. !
like the place and the people"
Mr.. Wilson will be succeeded as chief
clerk by O. Morris, a Clerk in the gem
eral freight office, n there will be
promotions all along the line there.
There a been a rumor, growing out
of a Misunderstanding of the facts, that
Mr.. Wilson's appointment would result
in a consolidation Of the Short Line
and Union Pacific offices in Butte, but
there was nothing to the rumor at all.

A few days ago Charles Maddox,
aged &c, an inmate of the insane asy-
lum at Warm Springs, was released at
the request OF his parents. who are
residents OF Helena. They intended to
take him home and hav him treated
by a specialist, having been led TO be-
lieve that he suffered from a mental
trouble that would readily yield TO spe-
cial treatment. They also had al idea
that a lot Of good and pure air and an
outing would be good for him, so they
drove TO the asylum by team and start
ed with the young nan back TO Helena.
They reached Silver Bow yesterday
afternoon and went into camp, when
suddenly young Maddox became Graz
Ter than ever. he grabbed up an X
and ran after his father with murder
Gus intent. The old man outran the
crazy one and escaped. Young Maddox
then went back to the camp and chased
his mother out also. after which he
had things 10 himself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Maddox were afraid To
return and they went TO the station for
assistance. A telephone message was
sent to the sherif's office and Deputy
Sheriffs Aware and O'Neill went down
to Silver Bow and took the crazy man
in charge. He was found In the camp
and offered no resistance. He was
brought TO Butte and lodged IN the
county Jail and will be returned to the
asylum.
