The acciden. happened about $3.50 this
morning. Keller was at work on the
fourth floor, shoveling ore into a chute
which had just been knocked down by a
blast. The ground was supposed to be
perfectly safe. Suddenly, without warm
ing, several tons of rock fell away from
the hanging wall just above Keller and
caught and crushed him up against the
timbers. As soon as was possible he was
e0tricated and removed to the hospital.
Keller's partner was near him, but es-
capped without injury.

Thinks Himself Able to Furnish
Sureties in Sum of $4,000
HE PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Considering Seriousness of Charge the
Prisoner Appears to be
Cheerful.

Albert p. Reek, the alleged mortgage
forger. who was brought back from st.
Paul a short time ago to answ the
charge against him. pleaded not guilty
i'm Judge Clancy's court his morning,
and at the request of his attorneys,
Mackel & Breen, the judge @aduced the
amour of his bond from $4,000 to $4,000.
When Reek was committed to Jail by
a magistrate his ond was fixed at the
former amount, but he could not furnish
it. He thought, however, he could give
one of $4,000, n upon TINS representa-
ton the reduction was made, the judge
saying when he issued the order that he
would be ready to approve the bond at
any time it was presented, but the
bondsunen might not appear in court at
all.
Considering the seriousness Of the
charge, the defendant appeared to be
cheerful in court to-day, not the slight-
est trace of mental anxiety being visible
either in hts demeanor or IN his counte-
nance. A lady friend of his wife ac-
companied him to and from the court
room and snt by his side during the time
he was in the room.

DRIVER HAS AN OPINION.
To The Inter Mountain:

To the Inter Mountain:
AS so much has been said and written
about the 6 o'clock closing movement
and about the overworked saleslady n
clerk, and the public that cannot supply
their wants or spend enough money in
10 hours a day, I wish to inform the pub
lie there is one piece of machinery around
the mercantile houses which a been
overlooked, and that is the driver or de-
liveryman. They all belong to the Clerks
assembly and have a say that counts for
as much as the highest collared clerk in
the MO They are as much interested,
If vol more, in the case than the guys
that wear a laundry sign ON his neck,
a flash on his Shirt and draws $3.50 a
month. I believe a driver has to do
more hard work, take more abuse, work
longer hours and tell more lies than n
employee around a store. He is out so
late some nights before he gets anything
to eat that he is not sure Whethere it is
supper or first course of breakfast. Now
IL any OF these people who oppose this
movement have a spark of humanity in
their breasts, would take a look at any
of the. poor, detected drivers, who work
from Z a. m. until s to II D. M, and
consider we are all human beings with

am sure, say: Close the store at 5 D. m.
