KILLED BY FALLING ROCK
PATRICK FOX'S LIFE CRUSHED OUT
IN THE BELL MINE.
4OO-Pound Boulder Crashes Through
the Floor and Strikes the Unfortu-
nate Man OH the Head.

Patrick Fox, aged about "a years, was
killed by falling rock weighing about
400 pounds yesterday on the third floor
of the 1,600foot level of the Bell mine
Fox was shoveling at a point about 30
or 40 feet from where James Maher and
Bat Giovando were putting in set of
timbers. j. f. Shea was shovelng on
the floor above.
Without the slightest warning and
without an apparent cause, a rock
weighing in the neighborhood OF 400
pounds crashed through the fourth door
and struck Fox on the head, completely
taring the back of it away, leaving the
frontal bone and face intact
The body was removed to Duggan's S
undertaking rooms, where an inquest
will be held at 1880 o'clock this even
ing.
Patrick Fox had resided in Butte for
about Is years. and was we'll known.
He was an industrious man, and for
several years had worked for the Ana
conda company in different mines. AS
far as known, he has no relatives IN the
state. He was born in the East, but in
what state inquiry last night failed to
develop.
Mr.. Fox was veteran of the civil
war and a member Of the G. A. r.
post of this city.

SITUATION ENTIRELY PEACEFUL.
Samoan Chiefs Agree to Obey the Decis-
ion of the Commission.


ion of the Commission.
New York, Aug. 21.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Just
before the departure of the auxiliary
cruiser Badger from Samoa, IS high
chiefs, representing the Malietoa fac
ton, and IS high chiefs representing
the Mataafa faction, met on board the
vessel. and in the presence of the joint
high commission signed an agreement
to obey the decision of the commission
with respect to the government of the
islands. This statement Is made by
Commander F. NJ. Miller, commanding
the Badger in an official report just
received at the navy department.
Commander Miller declares that the
situation was entirely peaceful, and as
the Badger sailed out of the harbor of
Apia she was saluted by the natives
with cheers. and by the German and
British men-of-war in regulation style.
Commander Miller's report has gone
far to dispel the rumors which have
been circulated since the departure of
the Badger of a renewal of a strife in
the islands. In any event, the tempor-
airy government, which is now in force,
and will continue to administer Sa-
moan affairs until the three poyers act
upon the recommendations of the COM
mission for the final government Of the
islands, is believed by the authorities
to be sufficiently strong and harmon
ious to hold the natives in check.
In connection with the acceptance
of the commissions recommendations
by the natives, Commander Miller de-
scribes a "fono" held at Mulnuu, in
the presence of the commissioners, Com
mander Emsman of the German cru'ser
Cormorant: Captain Stewart, COM
manding the British ship Tauranga and
himself. which was attended by 500 high
and other chiefs of the two factions.
At this meeting Judge Trip explained
the recommendations which the com-
mission would make, and the represen-
tative men also expressed their satls-
faction with his suggestions. Com
mander Miller speaks of the grat'tica-
tion expressed by me commissioners in
having had the Badger at their dis
posal and there is reason to believe
that the commission refers to the sp.en-
did service rendered it by Commander
Miller and the vessel without whose
aid the commissioners say they could
not have accomplished all the results
desired.
1T is extremely doubtful if action
will be taken upon the commission $
recommendation before the latter part
of next month. Ambassador Won Mumm
expects to leave Washington in the mid
die of the week for the New England
coast, and will not return until next
month President Mckinley and Sec
retary Hay also expect to remain away
for several weeks. Baron Won Stern
berg has written that he proposes TO
remain with Judge Tripp, trave'ing
through the northwest. The friendly
relations between the German and
American commissioners are matter
of considerable qualification to the
German and American governments

FINALLY BURNED.
Flames Consume the Davenport After
Three Attempts.

After three attempts yesterday morn
ing fire managed to destroy the Daven-
port boarding and lodging house at
No. 621 East Broadway. conducted by
Mrs. Harrington and owned by f. d.
Elderkin. The origin of the fire, it is
believed, was a candle carelessly held
in a clothes closet. The fire was eX-
tinguished by the occupants. but it is
believed that a few smoldering sparks
remained, and the fire department was
called out a couple of hours later. as
the fire took fresh start in the closet.
The department returned to the sta
ton after putting the fire out. The
surprising part came with the alarm
just before 3 o'clock yesterday morn
ing from the same box. The fire was in
the same house and this time, nntwith-
standing struggle, the fire overpow-
cred all resistance, and today the house
is in ruins

Chicago, Aug. 21.--A special to the

condition of Jehu Baker took decided
turn for the worse last night. There was
no increase of fever during the day, but
on account of the extreme heat he became
gradually weaker and late last night his
condition was worse than at any time
since he became H.. The members of his

discoura cement over the loss of his sight.

JUDGE NICHOLS HAS ENOUGH.
Camping Out in the Rain Is Too Much

Judge Nichols returned yesterday
morning from the Big Hole, up near
Wise river, where his and Mark
Drumms families are camped. He re-
turned to the station at Divide in a
drenching rain, and when he reached
his office he looked like man who
had been showed into frog pond and
came out through a gopher hole. He
reported that the camping party was
satisfied and had enough of 1t. He
was directed to send a wagon out after
the camp equipment, but he was so
wet he forgot all about 1t until it was
too late to make the start yesterday.
A wagon will go out to-day and the
party will return tomorrow. it is ex-
pected. The judge says that one day
and night was enough of Wise river
for him in this kind of weather.
