ing no effort to get out of the way. No
one in that vicinity knew him, and the
only clew to his identity was the state
ment of the section foreman, who said he

A MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT.

ON Prospect street.

j. B. Patten, OF 1915 Prospect street, pres
ident of the Fidelity Building and Savings
Union, was the victim OF an assault at
2:l5 o'clock yesterday morning which is in
some respects as mysterious as the shoot
ing OF william III. Smythe He was as
saulted by a blow on the head while he
was in sitting posture on his bed having
raised himself up In order to listen for
sounds which had been heard about the
house.
Nothing ebout the house was disturbed
and there were no indications of an at
tempt at robbery. Whether the intent OF
the assailant was robbery and he fed after
the assault or whether the intruder was
some enemy Is not known. Mr.. Patten
claimed he knew of no one who would have
cause for infiicting any injury upon him.
One thing which Is peculiar was the fact
that the assaisant was not seen.
Members of the family had been awak-
ened by noises outside the house az :
o'clock. but they were thought to come
from the house adjoining. Later Patten
awoke and turned over in his bed, raising
himself slightly to listen. when ne was
struck with some heavy instrument which
was thought TO be a piece of gas pipe He
managed 10 raise himself TO a sitting
posture and was again struck on the head
What became OF his assailant he did not
know. not seeing him Mr.. Patten took q
revolver from his trunk and opened the
the police. The shots brought the other
members OF the family into his room, where
they found him bleeding from the wounds
He had one cash over the right ear and
another across The forehead. DR. GAYLORD
was called to dress the wounds.
The odor OF chloroform was detected In
che room occupied BY Mrs. FOOte. guest
o. the family, who lives at Sullivan Ind
though there was nothing TO show that heI
sleep haa been induced by IFS use. Miss
Ella Parks. OF Jacksonville. who Is visit.
irg with the family said she heard some
one in the hall and moment later there

REPEA1EDl
TwENTY-s1x MINERS BURN
ED TO DEATH,
The Almy Horror Has Counterpart
on Diamondville, Wyoming.

The worst disaster in the history Of
coal mining in Wyoming since the
Almy horrcr, eight years ago, occur
red at Diamondvilio last night when
fire broke on. in mine No. Of the
Diamondville Coal and Coke company,
which was attended with great loss Of
life and destruction Of property.
Twenty six miners perished and their
;harred bodies are still in the mine.
The fire was first discovered shortly
after the night shift commenced work
It's cause is not known, but the fames
made such progress that only one man
escaped from the two entries in which
it was confined. The alarm was
sounded and hundreds Of miners at
work in the mines and outside ru ,hed
to the rescue of their imprisoned com-
rad4s. lhe ores had by this time
made such progress that it was i'm
possible to enter the rooms The en-
tire night was spept in conGning the
fire to the two entries. and this morn
ing it was necessary to seal them up
to preqent the flames from spreading
to other parts of the mine. This step
was decided upon after all hope Of
saving the lives Of the men had been
abandoned. Nothing could live five
minutes in such fire, which was in
creasing in 6erceness every minute.
The pluggii., !, of the two entries will
smother the fire, but it may be several
days before the barricades can be re-
moued and the chamber explored.
