Prominent Superintendent Killed.
Charles Mccormick. superintendent
of the indicator mine. at Crippl,
Creek. Colo. and Melvin H. Beck, (,
miner, were killed recently by an ex
plosion in the sixth level of the Vindi
Gator mine. The explosion occurred
while Superintendent Mccormick and
Miner Beck were in the cage. They
were the only passengers. Just as the
cage reached the sixth level the ex
plosion occurred. It wrecked the lev
Ell, cage and shaft at that point and
instantly killed both men. The explo-
sion was heard at the surface. and
many persons thought it was an earth
quake.
1t is believed no others were killed
or injured. 1t is positively asserted by
officers of the Vindicator Mining COM
pany that the explosion was caused by
an internal machine. This statement
was made after a thorough examina-
ton had been made at the shaft. The
Internal machine. containing many
pounds Of dynamite, was placed in the
sixth level, which is part of the aban-
doned works of the mine, within few
inches Of the shaft. Then loaded re-
volver was fixed in the shaft with it's
muzzle pointing directly toward the
Internal machine.
TO the trigger Of the revolver was
attached string, which was thrown
across the shaft in such manner that
when the cage came down and encoun-
tered the string the revolver would ex-
plode. the bullet striking the Internal
machine.
Pieces Of this revolver have been re-
covered from the bottom of the shaft,
but not vestige of the Internal ma
chine can be found.
Major Major and detail of soldiers
were dispatched from Camp Goldfield
to the mine. and took charge of the
property.
No one is allowed to approach the
mine and no one is permitted to leave.
Superintendent Mccormick was one of |
the best known mining men in the
Cripple Creek district.
A1ler receiving news OF the eXplO- |
sion, Governor Peabody ordered the
troops In Cripple Creek, who were to
proceed to Telluride. to remain in

A Hunting Party.

DR.. B. w. Hunter, Of Charleston,
DR.. Van Smith, and Messrs. J. II. Hair
and H. H. Franklin went over to Salu-
da on hunt Wednesday. They return
ed on Thursday morning, reaching New
berry just as the rays of the rising sun
were shimmering on the tree tops and a
soft, sweet breeze was ruffling the
spring foliage. ~
There has been good deal Of talk Of
late about the condition of the roads
between here and Saluda, and kicks too
numerous to mention have been regis
tered about the mud. If there is any
mud left on the Saluda road there was
certainly enough TO give grounds for
kicking before these gentlemen started.
In fact, when they reached Newbcrry
in the wee small hours Of the morning
Thursday they appeared very much
like four mud banks hauled to town.
They say they didn't kill much but
what they did kill, they killed dead

dropped on the ground and it was the

A rIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT.
Exce)SiorS Are Working For a Tournament
And Ask the Help of Citizens
of Newbcrry.

At a meeting of the Excelsior Fire
Company, held on Wednesday night, it
was decided to take steps for the hold
ing of firemen's tournament in New
berry some time during the month of
June, and to ask the financial aid Of
citizens in this undertaking.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
|. H. Hunt, f. II. Dominck, and ID. +.
Pifer was appointed to solicit contribu-
tions. 1t is estimated that 81 900 will
be required in order to offer a good
prize list and to cover incidental ex-
penses. The list of prizes which it is
desired to offer is: Hose wagon race,
i first prize 5000, second prize $100; hand
reel race, first prize, $3.50, second prize
S75; grab race, first prize $75, second
prize $40; four mems contest, first prize
$50, second prize $25. Making a total
prize list of $7l5 With these prizes as
inducements, there would be no trouble
in entering competing companies from
all over the State and from other States,
and the tournament would be a asuccess.
LII W SIlO" 70 Ilc people Oh
Newberry that they are in earnest the
firemen on Wednesday night, immedi-
ately after it was decided to ask for
contributions, headed the list with an
individual contribution of $50. Forty
men giving half as much would insure
success.
Newberry' volunteer fire fighters
have ever been ready to expose them
selves and to risk their lives, if ncccs-
sary, in their work, and they have saved
thousands and thousands of dollars of
property in this city. In no better way
can the people show their appreciation
than by responding literally to theirre-
quest for a tournament. And, besides,
the tournament would be Of more value
to Newberry than its cost. This was
shown in the tournament held in New
berry some time ago.

Not Affected by Legal Holiday.

The Settler Company, of Pomaria,
recently wrote to the Secretary of
State, stating that they had been in
formed by a lawyer that the charter
under when the company is doing busi-
ness was valueless because granted on
legal holiday (January y, and asking
for advice upon this point. The letter
was referred to Assistant Attorney
General w. H. Townsend, who advised
that the Supreme Court had several
years ago filed the following decision in
case in which this question had been
raised: cit may be that public officer
would be justified in declining to per-
form any act pertaining to the duties
Of his office or even open his office on a
legal holiday; but if he consents to dc
SO, we are unable to see anything in the
common or statute law which forbids
him to do so, or renders his act void. -
Under this decision of the Supreme
Court, it will be seen that the fact that
the charter Of the Settler Company, OF
any other charter or document by q
public official, was issued on lega
holiday, does not in any way affect its
validity.
