DEATH INSTANTANEOUS

Dominick Massa met instant death by
electrocution in Walkerviiie yesterday
afternoon.
Massa was engaged in painting a sa-
loon at Nc. SOL Daily street. He was on
a ladder, scraping the paint from the
Misunderstanding, when, it is supposed,
his hand came in contact with two live
wires. He uttered a faint groan and fell
to the porch, dead.
About 1000 volts Of electricity passed
through Massa's body. The two fingers
Of his right hand were burned to the
bone, and other fingers showed the
effects of the passing of the big current
Of death-dealing fluid.
Coroner Julien was notified and after
he had Investigated the accident the re-
mains were removed to Sherman's UNI
dertaking rooms.
An inquest was held last evening at
the city hall, Walkerville. The facts
brought out were meagre. Two men saw
the accident. Just before Massa fell the
witnesses saw him grasp the wires, one
in each hand. Fire issued from his hand
and the wire.

TRESPASSERS
DRIVEN OUT
Bl00dlesS Conflict Over Butte
& Boston Placer Ground.
AID Of LAW INVOKED
A Forty-Foot Shaft Sunk in Thirty
Six H0urs-A Restraining
Order Issued.
AID Of LAW INVOKED

A slice of good mining ground about Sox
70 feet in size near the Butte & Boston
smelter is raising all sorts of trouble, but
so far nothing a " dirt and sleep have
been lost in connection with it. The Butte
& Boston company claims to w 1t.
Last Saturday evening J. H. Trerise, Guy
Kingsbury, Richard K~ingsbury and Will
liam BENEFITS took it under their protect
ing wing and began sinking a shaft. but
Butte & Boston representatives headed
by S. w. Thomas of the smelter drove
them from the ground. Going to the
Heinze smelter, the ousted mes collected
erty recaptured it and resumed the work
of sinking the shaft.
Last night matters took another turn
Between 10 and II o'clock the Butte &
Boston company routed Judge Clancy, a
deputy clerk of the court and Deputy
Sheriff O'Neill out of bed and with them
formed a chain of legal proceedings
against Trerise and the others to compel
them to cease work on the ground. The
Judge was asked to sign an order re-
straining the plaintiffs from working,
which he did; the deputy sheriff served
the order and the deputy clerk filed for
tI'e COMPANY d coAipIaiiit against Tie a.
legged trespassers to decide title to the
property and recover judgment for $500
damages alleged to have been done the
ground by it's partial reduction to a
chaotic state.
When the deputy sheriff arrived on the
ground he found a shaft forty feet deep
and a crew of men working as if they
were tunneling the vault of a bank and
expected to tap the pay streak before day
light. The hole "a been sunk in thirty
six hours, smashing into smithereenes all
previous records at shaft-sinking in Sill
yer Bow county.
AS stated, the ground is claimed under
a placer application by the Butte & Bos-
ton company, but Mr.. Trerise says it has
no title to it and hat is why he located it.
The Butte & Boston company calls it the
Bachelor and the new locators the
Bachelor Girl.

at the instance of Mr.. Lorimer. 1t

new system will be installed there
if the amount is not reduced. The
appropriation is placed at the dis
posal of the postmaster general. who
will apportion it among the different
cities in proportion to their needs.
Mr.. Lorimer. who has been working
to have the pneumatic tube system
installed in the Chicago post Office,
SAYS he is confident of having the in
crease accepted by the house. Last
wear he was successful in having in
corporated in the postal appropriation
bill an increase of 100000 for this
service over the previous year, but
when that measure was considered in
the house the Chicagoan was i'll. In
his absence the item was stricken out.

PICTURES OF VOLCANOES.
Some of the Difficulties Encountered
in PhOtoxraphinE These Won
ders While in Action.

AS things go these days, the pho
tographer is the man who is ut the
front. whether it be at FL Caney, or.
off Moro, or at Manila, and one has
but to make any danger worth while
to find some one of the amateur or pro-
fessional brethren taking it with his
camera. to hand il down as an imPer-
ishable and indisputable evidence OF
what nan will risk and accomplish.
When it was reported in Honolulu
last summer, or rather when Honolu-
lu was enveloped in a thick cloud Of
smoke. il knew without any further
reporting that Mauna Loa was once
more On the rampage. And so it
turned out, the great volcano, through
new assures and vents and new
craters, was pouring out great masses
of lava, which made the eruption n
of the most striking of recent years.
When it was made known from the
island of Hawaii that the spectacle
was likely to prove unique, two par
ties started out from Honolulu for
the great mountain. accompanying
them being Mr.. Frank Dewey. a pho
tographer. who did not mind such a
thing as danger in his desire to take
a snap at a full-iedged eruption on
the plank of Mauna Loa near the sum
nit.
The main outburst formed a lake of
boiling lava 100 feet in diameter, from
which huge masses were thrown 800
feet in the air. From a breach in
the cone 4 food of lava 10 feet wide
rushed down the mountain side at
a rate of 80 miles an hour. A dozen
vents near the great crater were
throwing lava in the air, which COW
cred the surrounding territory with a
thick coating gliding down and en-
veloped in a thick smoke.
Lower down a new crater not SO
large as the upper lake threw great
masses of lava and solid rocks in the
air weighing hundreds of pounds.
While the onlookers were fascinated
at the sight, there was considerable
danger. as on one occasion the wind
blew thick columns of sulphurous
smoke toward the party when they
were on their way home. The running
lava behind them prevented a retreat
and death from asphyxiation surely
threatened as the black cloud adj
vanced in a menacing manner. Just
as it was about to cover them, a vio-
lent gust of wind opened a gap arched
like a tunnel. Through this the ter
rified tourists rushed and reached the
pure air on the other side in safety,
falling upon the ground exhausted
and overcome by their fearsome expe-
rience.
They also suffered from hunger and
thirst. and it was under these circum-
stances that Mr.. Dewey took the
views. his zeal causing him among
other things to lose his shoes. which
were burnt off his feet by the hot
lavas. However. he got back to Hon
olulu safely. and was delighted at his
success in catching one of the small
cones in operation. as well as pho
t%ographiDg some older lava beds and
the solidifjed rivers of lava of other
days.-Philadelphia Times.
