FOURTEEN FOUND ALIVE
HEROIC RESCUES AT JOHNS
 TOWN, PA, MINE DISASTER.
Etghty-seven Dead Also Recovered but All the shafts Have Not Yet Been In- vestISated-The Rescued Saved Them- selves by Turning On a Compressed Air Tube-Ome a Having Maniac, Att tempted to KIiI the Relief Party.

Johnstown. Pa, July 11.-This has been a day of heroic rescues at the fated rolling mill mine of the Cambria Steel company. Thrilling experiences attended the efforts of the forty brave men who went down into the bowels of the earth with very faint hope that they might be in time to restore to life some of those who are entombed.
 The reward of their efforts was the saving of the lives of fourteen of their fellow men.
 Dead and maimed bodies were located but no effort was made to bring them out of the vast theater of death until every human energy was put forward towards seeing that no living soul might escape their aid. That done, the dead were attended to.
 Eighty-seven bodies were recovered from the mine between daylight and nightfan Still party of officials and miners battled on, three miles inside the mine Occasionally work would come to the surface by some mysterious means that another heap of remains had been exposed to the vision of the Searchers. There remain dangerous headings in the Klondike section of the | mine yet to be explored.
 The impression prevails among the outsiders and certain employees of the mine that 150 is a low estimate of the l casualty list. Fated Johnstown spent the day horror struck. From dawn to dusk flying ambulances coursed the streets bearing gruesome burdens. 1 Great throngs surged about the pit
 mouth, the improvised morgue at the armory, and about the stricken homes of the dead Bulletin boards were eagerly scanned for news from the 1 scene of the disaster.
 | Along in the early part of the after noon cheering words came from the mine that life yet fingered in some oi | -

TRACTS BATTLING TACTICS
CONVICT ESCAPES WHEN CAP
 TURF SEEMED CERTAIN.

Posse Confident They Had Him Sur-
 rounded Again but Bioodhounds and
 Deputies Were Unable to Stir Him
 from Con ncealment--HOunts tss Started in
 Every Direction but Fail to Take Up
 the Scent.
 Seatt Wash, July 1.-Bloodhounds and scores of deputy sheriffs were un- able to stir outlaw Harry Tracy from concealment in the brush near Coving- ton to-day. Because of the midnight battle last night the posse was sure of the convicts whereabouts. A cordon of experienced marksmen encircled this place early in the evening and there was no possible avenue of escape for the fugitive without 8 fight. Hounds were started on the trail early this morning and worked in every direction to-day but without success. Darkness fell with less encouragement for the hunters than on Wednesday evening. Every kind of rumor was received from 1 the scene of the sheriff's deputies search to-day. A report was started that battle had been fought, resulting in the death of seven deputies and the wounding of Tracey. Diligent searh for the source of this rumor met with | failure It is believed to be absolutely | ho cp until every part of the pursuing crowd has been heard from. The nature of the country through which the chase leads would make it possible for bat tie to be fought in one of the ravines and little be heard of it in the neighbor- ing towns for many hours.

EACH HAVE MILLS.
State Institutions Prepared to Grind
Their Own Stock Feed.

The state board ofs.control is plan
ningsthe addition of several feed mills
to the farming --plants of the several
state institutions. Last year the
school at .Owatonna was in need of
several kinds of..cattle and horse feed
and the superintendent attempted to
purchase it.
He found the price too high for his
purpose and he secured the consent of
the board..to purchase a small mill
The institution prepared the ground
feed necessary for the farm stocks.
At one of the other institutions the
superintendent..has established mill
which he runs in..conjunction with his
electric lighting plant and in. which
all of the feed necessary is ground.
This process has been found to be so
convenient and economical that the
members of the boards are favorably
impressed with. the Idea of adding
such plants at other state institu-
lions. AS the state farms produce
much of the grain..needed at the insti-
tutions located on them the cost of
grinding is the largest item of expense
in connection with the stock.

f. The flower parade on Thursday eve
ming On Front and Second streets was
q very beautiful one, though not a
very large number Of people entered
into it, but those who did showed con-
siderable ingenuity in decorating
their rigs, making them most sttrac-
tive. National and Elk's colors
predomipated. The fire company
made fine appearance, and ADDED
much to the beauty of the para DC
The committee which passed judgment
as to which was the prettiest decor
ated rigs consisted of M. L. Scherer,

James 81. Daley, LIE Sueur, A. G..

They awarded the first prize for
single rig to Ed. Weaver, IS. Second
prize, single rig, Mrs. Geo. Pond, 81.
Double rigs, first prize, Fire de-
partment, IS. Second Prize, Mrs.
Redield, 81.
Clarence Saulpaugh had his automo-
bile very prettily decorated and it was
one of the attractions of the parade,
and the committee stated that had
there been horse attached to it, they
would liked to have awarded him a
prize, hut under the circumstances did
not feel warranted in doing it. The
fact of the matter is that those taking
part had their rigs so prettily decor

pick out the winners, as all were
worthy Of note, and the flower parade
was one Of the pleasant features of the
carnival. =.

WOUND WAS FAIL
Frank Jones Dies From His,
INJURIES.
Post Mortem Examination Shows that
His SKI rsoS FraCtured---
inquest Monday.

Frank S. Jones, who was found
lying. unconscious in the gutter on Main
street opposite the side door entrance
to Kelly Bros. corner cafe at three
O'Clock Thursday morning, died at
IL 80 p. N. Saturday at his home, SOB
Lewis street, without having regained
consciousness.
The deceased was thirty-eight years
of age and leaves wife and six chill
dren, the oldest being eleven years
old. he was hard working man..
and had steady employment with the
Hubbard Milling Co. He was steady
and sober, and had made pleasant
home. The sympathy of ali will go out
to the widow and little children, who
are deprived of supporterand protec-
tor.
The funeral will be held from the
house at two o'clock tomorrow after
noon.
Early yesterday afternoon, Coroner
Kennedy summoned the following
jury to conduct an inquest over the
remains: Geo. M. Palmer, T. G.
Peart, John Murphy, A. M. Rutan,
D. D. Brewer and S. a. Grannis.
The jury met at the residence Of the
deceased at 4 p. N. and viewed the
remains, after which an adjournment
was taken until a. m. Monday, when
witnesses will be examined
DIS. Bjelland and Steel conducted
a post mortem examination of the re-
mains at Lamm & Landkammer' un-
dertaking rooms this forenoon 1t
was found that there was a fracture
at the base Of the brain, extending
nearly all around the skull, and that
death was due to conclusion and COM
preston of the brain, due to the rup-
turing of blood vessels at the base of
the brain.
From the nature of the injury, it is
evident that it was received by strik-
ing the stone sidewalk. It is little
to the left Of the center of the back
of the head. If Mr. Jones was struck
a blow in the face, as is claimed by at
least one witness to have been the
case, he might have received his fatal
injury when he fell to the sidewalk.
Coroner Kennedy has summoned q
number of witnesses and proposes to
probe the matter TO the bottom. Steps
have been taken to secure one who
went to Minneapolis
This case has caused good deal of
feeling on the part of the public, who
are demanding that most searching
and thorough investigation be had.
The spot where Mr.. Jones was
found is almost exactly the place,
where Chas. Rasdall of st Clair was
most viciously assaulted by the Pres
ton brothers on stepping from this
saloon.
