A MINERS BRAVERY.
Deed of Daring In Burning Clear
Creek Mine.
(Special Corresbondence. J


seofield, Sept. IA case of heroic
bravery has come to light in connection
with the fire at the Clear Creek mine
Monday evening last, When the fire was
noticed the miners nearby endeavored to
eXtinguish it, but finding their efforts
were of no avail they ran out OF the mine.
By this time the brattice was burning
Hereby. Upon investigation as to whether
all the men were out so that the dip where
the fire was could be closed up it was
found that one man was missing and
fire had started. Foreman Thomas i'm
mediately called for volunteers to go with
him in the mine to rescue the man. Sew
eral attempts were made by different ones
but they were driven back by the flames
and the cry of "Powderr' caused hasty
retreat. Finally Heber Franklin young
man whose work keeps him on the out
pany1ng Foreman Thomas they pressed
on through the fire and found the man
working away tamping a hole. entirely
UNCONSCIOUS of the danger threatening
MIN. They succeeded in getting out of
the mine safely, when the fan was shut
off and the dip closed up. The rescue was
an act OF great bravery on the part of
outside he was unacquainted with the
exact lay of the land inside, and the
danger of suffocetion from black damp
was great. He was the only man of the
many standing by whose nerve did not de-
sert him. 1t is stated upon good author
lty that ten minutes more of lost time
would have resulted in the death of the
great loss to the company, as the supply
or air could not be cut off while there was
any hope of rescue, and this would have
tended to feed the flames.

CAUGHT BY A BOULDER.
Accident to James McAuley-Two
Others Hurt Also.
Especial Correspondence.)

Especial correspondence
Eureka, Sept. 16.-While working on
the $50 level of the Bullion-Beck mine,
shortly before noon today, James Nc
Auley was caught by a boulder which
rolled out from the side and pinned
him against the timbers.. breaking mis-
left leg below the knee He was taken
to his home and the broken bone was
set by the company physician, DR..
Stauffer.
John Dattge was struck by mass Of
falling rock on the 400 level Of the same
mine Friday morning, and quite Sc
verely bruised and cut, his clothing
being stripped from his back. Fortu-
nately the rock struck him a glancing
blow, or there would probably be a diff
ferent story to relate, as the mass con-
tanned several tons.
John Bowen also suffered a painful
accident at the Blue Bird mine Friday.
Bowen is the day foreman, and went
below alone to investigate the report
that the timberS in the bottom of the
shaft were threatening to give away A
cave of earth threw him down, and be-
fore he could get up a boulder rolled
down on his face, cutting 1t severely
and breaking the bridge of his nose. He
came TO Eureka for medical treatment.

1t is more than likely that Governor
Wells, accompanied by the majority of
his staff officers and officers of the
Utah batteries, will participate in the
festivities to be given in New York in
honor of Admiral Dewey's return home.
The Utah volunteer artillery played a
very. important part in capturing Ma
Mia from the Spanish after Dewey's
fleet cleared the bay, and it would be
quite appropriate for every Utah official
and batteryman to join in the monster
ovation that awaits the heroic flagship
Olympia on its homecoming.
Recently Governor Wells received an
invitation from the managers of the
Dewey reception, requesting the pres
ence OF himself and staff, officers of the
Utah volunteers, batterymen and citi-
zens generally at the welcome TO be ac-
corded the returning hero. The invi-
tation has been accepted.
When questioned by The Herald last
evening, the governor stated his belief
that Major Young, Major Grant. Cap
tain Critchlow and Captain Wedgewood
of the Utah batteries would accompany
him and his staff from Salt Lake to
New York to join in the greeting to the
distinguished admiral. OF the staff Of
ficers it is probable that Adjutant Cen
eral Burton, Brigadier General Can,
non, Colonel Clayton, Colonel Pinker-
ton Colonel 7. J. Stevens, Colonel B.
X. Smith and Lieutenant Colonies Bru-
back and Nebeler will be in the party.
Doubtless many ladies and prominent
citizens will be in the party, enough. at
least, it is hoped, to fill a special car.
In the event that Major Young goes
to New York it will be necessary for
him 10 obtain an extension of the leave
of absence granted to him when he
left Manila, but there is no doubt the
desired extension would be given.
The great military parade in New
York VIII be on Sept. 20, and the naval
demonstration on Sept 80. While no
date has been fixed for starting from
Salt Lake, it is thought the Utah con-
tingent will leave on or about Monday,
the 25th.

Still More Counterfeiting.

The secret service has unearthed an
other band OF counterfeiters and Sc
cured a large quantity Of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that the
average person would never suspect
them of being spurious. Things of
great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably
the celebrated HoStetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. which has many imitators, but no
equals for indigestion. dyspepsia, con-
stipation, nervousness and general de-
bility. The Bitters sets things right in
the stomach, and when the stomach is
in good order it makes good blood and
plenty Of 1t. In this manner the Bitters
get at the seat of strength and vitality,
and restore vigor to the weak and de-
bilitated. Beware of counterfeiters
when buying.

ROW OVER A TRUNK.
Eva Stevens Causes Tillie Williams
Trouble.

Eva Stevens occupies a place in the
woman's ward of the city Jail. 1t is
partly on account of that that she can
not attend to her household goods. Til
lie Williams is not in Jail, but before
Eva's Incarceration shared room with
her Now yesterday it occurred to Eva
that when she took up her present
abode she left a trunk and other goods
at home with Title. Tillie had an
nounced her intention OF leaving the
city.
So Eva sent her papa down to Tillie
to get the trunk, and Title stamped
her foot and refused to let him have
it. Then policeman was called and
the trunk sent post haste to the Jail
yard, where Eva, from the upstairs
room, witnessed the unpacking of the
same. There was nothing in it that
belonged to her, and Title was allowed
to move on with the trunk.
