 Mine Frustrated.

Victor. Col, Sept. 22.-What is be- lieved by the military authorities to have been preconcerted attack on the Stratton Independence mine was frus- trated Sunday night by the accidental discharge of rife.

AS he fell, his rife in some manner was discharged, This alarmed the other guards and as the corporal and other details rushed down to the spot, they wound the man lying un- conscious. His assailants were seen running away by the sentry on the next beat. but they were oat of sight too soon to permit of accurate shoot ing.
