RESCUE WORK STOPPED
Firedamp Drives Rescuers Back
But Ten Bodies Recov-
cred From Mine.

Trinidad, Colo. Aug. S.-The rescue
party at the Bowen mine, where a dis
astrous explosion occurred last evening,
was compelled 70 suspend work at l
o'clock this morning owing to fire
damp.
At that hour the bodies of ten dead
had been recovered. There were at
least thirteen men in the mine at the
time of the explosion, and all were I'M
doubtedly killed
Nc gas has ever been known in the
mine, and it is the opinion of the Off.
Gals that the accident was caused by
premature shot.
The powder house at the mouth of the
mine, containing about 1000 pounds OF
blasting powder, was exploded by the
shock from the mine and great damage
was done to the mouth of the slope.
The town OF Bowen, about q quarter
of a mile below the mine, was severely
shaken, a number of windows being
broken. Immediately after the explo-
sion almost the entire population of the
town rushed to the mouth of the mine,
and the scenes there were heart-rend-
ing. The mine is almost a total wreck
as far as can be determined at this
time.
The explosion occurred about 1000
feet from the surface, the mine was
quickly filed with gas and smoke, and
those who escaped instant death were
suffocated.
Mike Cassidy was blown to atoms.
His head was picked up nearly 100 feet
from where the body was found, and
his legs are still missing.
The body of James Hunter was terri
bly, mangled.
Measures were taken today to rid
the mine of gas, and it is thought the
workings will be thoroughly explored
by nightfall.
The known dead are:
Michael Cassidy, single; James Hunt
er, single; Frank Greats, married. min
er; Joe Sanchez, miner, single; w. H.
| Elliott, miner; Felipe Fena, miner.
Mexican, single; L. p. Jensen, miner,

HOUSE OF LORDS ADJ0URNS.
Canadian Service to Have Nothing to
Do With American Combine.

London, Aug S.-The house of lords ad-
journed today to Oct. 16. In response to
inquiries, just prior to adjournment. as
to whether the government was taking
steps looking to the establishment of a
British-AIlantic steamship service. after
the absorption of British fines by the
American combination, Lord Onslaw. IN
der colonial secretary. said the question
of a new Canadian service had nothing
to do with the American combine.
Certain proposals had been submitted
to the Canadian government. but the lat
ter had not informed his majesty's gov
eminent of Ats purpose or asked assist
ance
The question of the appointment of a
British service. however, was receiving
the earnest attention of the government.
If such line We're established il would
be necessary TO come 10 parliament for
money and then complete details would
be given out. II would be unwise at
present TO communicate the negotiations.

NAVAJO INDIANS ON
VERGE OF STARVATION

Durango. Colo, Aug. S.-The Navajo
Indians have never been in such misery
as now since 1868, when Kit Carson had
them rounded up in corral at Defiance.
The extreme heat and drouth in the
Navajo country have ruined the ranges,
and ponies, cattle, sheep and goats are
starving by scores daily.
The Indians have had little else than
horse meat TO eat for some time, and UNI
less the government will come to their
assistance they must 'starve during the
coming winter, as they will be thrown
upon their blanket industry alone, and
this has never done much for their sub
Sistence.

MARRIED A FORTUNE
Thing Was Done in Haste, But Has
Not Been Repented.
renniiess Doctor Out in Oklahoma
WEEDS Charity Patient, Who De-
.eIops an Acute, IncurabIe
Case of P~lutocrncy.

A poverty that was too bitter to be
endured. has been the making of ID.
c. Gideon, a ST. Louis newspaper
man, who now owns 1900 acres of
fertile land in the Choctaw country.
Fortune was fairly forced on Gid
con. 1t came without his knowing
it, and he would have had "a hard
time escaping had he tried. Because
Gideon was too poor to do anything
else he married a girl who was as poor
as himself. Later he earned that
she was one-tighth Choctaw. Being
a man of action, Gideon got busy.
That is why he owns the 1900 acres
of Indian lands-a tract that is
worth $4,000 at present and is in
creasing in value rapidly.
Gideon made up his mind to quit
the newspaper business 10 years ago.
In his youth he had studied medicine.
"Guess I'll quit scribbling news and
go to jotting down prescriptions" he
said. ut ought to pay better"
Down to Wagner, Okla, went
Gideon. He hung his shingle on
about the only respectable building
in the ~town-then waited. At first
no one seemed to care a cent for Gid
con. Then he began to get calls from
far and wide, and the future looked
bright indeed until Gideon began to
try to collect his bills. Everybody
was sick, it seemed, but no one had
the money to pay the doctors bills.
Those were trying times in Oklahoma
and Gideon was only N of many
who failed to make ends meet. The
harder Gideon worked the poorer he
became. He managed to get enough
to eat, but that was all. When his
clothes wore out he was forced to
"doctor-up" the village storekeeper
and take his pay in trade. With
everything else il was the same.
Finally Gideon, in desperation, de-
cided to leave. 1t was easy to make

the decision-thousands of others
had done that much, and no more
but it was no simple matter to carry
it out. Gideon appealed to some
thing like a hundred patients who
owed him money and managed to
collect just 1925.
81 can eat on that" he reasoned,
"if I only can get transportation"
Back in st. Louis Gideon had stood
pretty well on the paper for which he
worked, and he wrote a long and pa.
thetic appeal for a railroad ticket.
He didn't expect to get it, but he did.
Then he was happy-as happy, almost,
as if he had all the money that was
due him.
About an hour before Gideon was to
start back for civilization, says the
Chicago Tribune, a rough-looking
man came running up to the Office
Gideon was about to vacate and eX-
citedly informed him that a girl was
dying in a camp just outside of town.
"She must have ct poison" said the
fellow. "She's awful sick"
Gideon thought he might just as well
make one more charity call for good
measure, so he took his medicine case
and raced at the mans heels out to a
camp that was remarkable, in most
part, for the number of dogs it shell
tered.
"Show me the patient quick" COM
manded Gideon. 81 haven't got any
time to waste"
From somewhere among the dogs
and wagons they produced a girl that
would have been comely indeed had
not her features been distorted with
pain. Gideon felt the patients pulse,
then looked at her tongue.
"What you been eating?" he asked.
The rough-looking man pointed to a
small barrel of dried apples and said:
"She's been at those"
"Plain stomach-ache," said Gideon,
sagely, as he handed a flask of whisky
to the sufferer. The girl took some Of
the stuff, frightened up, and in five
minutes was well.
Then Gideon-he cannot explain II
even now-was seized with an inspira-
ton.

"Nope," she answered.

"Wouldn't mind" said the fair one.
"All right" declared Gideon; Iet's

FEARFUL CRIME.
Unknown Campers Burn Child Near
Hamilton

Tuesday some campers stopped In
the woods near Hamilton, and after
they had left Wednesday the people
in that vicinity saw a smoke where
they had camped and thinking per-
haps the fire might. burn the timber
they went put to extinguish 1t. When
they were near the spot where the
smoke came from they found an old
beer bottle in which there had been
some kerosine and a little further on
they discovered the body of a newly
born babe. The infants clothing had
been saturated with coal oil and then
set on fire and of course, it had been
burned to death. There are no further
particulars ~obtainable. 1t is not
known the direction the campers
went. The discovery of the infant
was made by Yes Burk.
