Dead and Injured.

10 AdCbASdllJ eNANSA AAS w.
rible experience.
Dead and Injured.
The dead are: Patrick Grilley, SHIFT
BOSS; Allan Caulder, Edward Gognan
and Robert Savage. The two injured
men, Nels Johnson and his brother,
Known as Otto Bloom, are under ply
slcians' care and Will live.
The fatality has cost gloom over the
camp 1t was so unexpected and ter
mole in its effects, so surrounded with
thrilling incidents, that the occur
rences of the late afternoon are still
talked of in hushed horror by the COM
munity.
The day shift at the Nellie L. fired
It's shots and quit work at p. m. The
uight shift went on at p. m. Robert
savage went to his machine to con-
unue drifting from the bottom OF
winze in the lower workings. This
winze appears to have been full OF
powder smoke and carbonic acid gas.
When Savage reached his post, or pos
sibly before doing so, he shouted for
nelp, saying that he was smothering.
George Groshey descended to his
rescue and succeeded in bringing him
nearly up to the floor level, when
Groshey became insensible. The body
of Savage dropped back down the
winze, a distance of about 40 feet. AL
Ian Caulder, a gallant young fellow,
only 20 years of age, rushed down the
ladder. On reaching the bottom of the
ladder he called out for help, and Pat
Crilley, the shift boss and brother Of
the superintendent, descended, to
share Caulder's fate.
The men above begged with each
other for the honor of risking their
lives to save the men below. Bar
clay Crilley went down and actually
reached his brother, but the gas drove
him up the level more dead than alive.
He was almost asphyxiated when he
struggled back to the winze head.
Brave Jack Mcleod.
Six men went down in the dark
where only death lived in the poison
Gus gas when Jack Mcleod Cape
Briton miner of great experience ana
neroism, made an attempt with a rope
IN the dark he stumbled across body
which he secured with the line and
pore to the ladder foot. The men above
raised poor Paddy Crilley to the level
Mcleod partly sustaining him step oy
step from the ladder
Six times did Mcleod ascend with
the body of a rescued comrade and
six times descended to meet his own
more than probable death.
The sixth and last man having been
carried up, Mcleod collapsed, and
Jack Sweeney descended to see if any
more remained in the Wine bottom
FOR the seventh time Mcleod had tc
go back, with John Hendricks, tC
Sweeney's rescue.
Mcleod has escaped practically un
injured from his terrible but heroic
experience.
Steps are being taken to have the
heroism of Jack Mcleod publicly rec
ognized and rewarded.
No blame would appear to attach t
the mine management, the appliance VI
equipment.
Among those who behaved will
bravery special mention should b.
made of Barclay Chilly, John w
Sweeney and Thomas Baldwin. Near
ly every man out of Is on the leve
above the winze was overcome by thu
gas ascending when the air was turned
: on.

SUMNER SCHOOL AT OMAHA
Several Hundred PedagOgues to Gather
Here in June for Instruction.
FAMOUS MEN AMONG THE INSTRUCTORS
EducatiORaI Experts to Come from
All Parts of the Country to
Teach the Work of
school Supervision.

Superintendent Of Instruction Pearse re-
turned Saturday from a meeting Of the de-
partment of superintendence, National Ed
ucational association, in Cincinnati. While
there he made arrangements for the &C
complishment of a project that has been in
teresting the school men of Nebraska and
the neighboring states for a long time. 1t
is a summer school for those engaged in the
supervision and maintenance Of public
schools, including city graded schools. It
Is the first affair Of the kind on so large
a scope ever held in the United States and
will be known as the Transmississippi
Summer School OF Superintendent, to be
held In Omaha two weeks, beginning June
% and closing July 8.
The school is designed to supply the
lack Of an institution where young men
who wish to learn the work Of school SUI
pervision may go and receive the peculiar
instruction which they need to adequately
prepare them. There are many schools
where the subject matter OF school studies
may be learned and where the laws Of
growth and powers OF the mind may be
studied, also schools in which the princl-
pies and practice Of teaching and school
room management are taught, but there is
no school where administration and super
iultuueuN0 ~ maui oPpNA@ANAN9
Several VIII Attend.
Nebraska pedagogues have been agltating
the question Of the Omaha summer school
for nearly two years, and with the arrange
ment just made by Superintendent Pearse,
with their cooperation, they plan 10 have
several hundred school men and women Of
the Transmississippi country gathered in
Omaha in June to receive instruction from
some Of the most noted and successful state
and city superintendent in the country.
Among the instructors will be State Su-
perintendent w. w. StetsOn Of Maine, who
is said to be one Of the ~clearest and most

Conditional subscription offered.
1t is expected, too, that the Omaha
British American league will give a sum
raised to commemorate Queen Victoria's
jubilee year, amounting to something over
$3.50, to the building fund. Two conditions
attach to the gift: One that the name Of
Queen Victoria be honored in some fitting
manner by the home; the other that the
home, when opened. be free from incum-
brance. The conditions satisfactorily COM
piled with this sum would really be the
FIRST contribution received, as the officers
Of the league sometime since signihed their
interest in and desire to assist the work.
With this last amount the association
would have or hand in round numbers
$3.50, without ii $500. Deducting from the
latter amount would leave a balance Of
$500 towards remodeling the building. At
least $1,000 is needed for this purpose, as
the building must be put in sanitary con-
dition, repapered and reprinted and the
furnace repaired.
The Friday club, the pioneer woman's
club OF Omaha, will contribute a sum netted
: from an entertainment given last week at
the Elks' club rooms. Five hundred in
vitations were issued and each guest in
vited asked to contribute 25 cents.
Work Needs Help.
The Women's Christian association is
the Oldest charitable organization in
Omaha, having been In existence twenty
years. Its work is we'll known and covers
a field not duplicated by any other So
ciety. Friends In the past have Deen gem
erous in the support OF this needed work.
A general appeal Is now made for sub
scriptions TO enlarge It's scope. With a
generous response from the public the as
ISOLATION can do this and make the Old
Peoples Home, which 1t is hoped to open
May 1, an institution Of which Omaha will
be proud, and without incumbrance except
the special taxes, which will be met from

Mr.. Howe Declines.

There is still a controversy about Sc
curing a suitable custodian for the Car
negie money to be donated for the erection
of a library building in South Omaha.
Until a treasurer or custodian is named
a draft cannot be made on Mr.. Carnegie's
agents. President McCullOch of the Lii
brary association would like to have City
Treasurer Howe take charge Of the funds.
In case he does this. Howe will have to go
to the expense Of paying for his own bond

cash accounts for glory. Mr.. Howe de-
clines to go to this extra trouble, as no
says the keeping Of the accounts of the
city and the school books takes up all of
his time.
1t is thought that the Library associa-
tion will have to make arrangements with
some bank for the handling Of the funds,
but the banks are not inclined to take on
this additional work and give a bond with
out compensation. The most feasible plan
seems to be to have the association elect
a treasurer and hive this official give a
bond. When this is done the funds will be
coming forward as needed.
Treasures Howe Pays Cash.
Saturday forenoon City Treasurer Howe,
who is also treasurer for school district
No. 8, paid the teachers and ~janitors Feb
ruary salaries in cash. From 10 a. m.
until noon the treasurer's office was
crowded with teachers and j~anitors. 1t
was the first time in some months that
the treasurer had paid all salary claims
in cash. The total amount paid out was
$6,939.74. BY the payment OF this sum
in cash the district is saved the interest
on the warrants. While this course of the
treasurer has been objected to by some,
those who pay taxes are pleased to know
that quite an amount of interest was saved
to the district.
Brown kidnapping Case.
William H. Brown, charged with kid

c%ontended that his client had not yet been

his witnesses were absent. A continuance
was therefore granted until Wednesday

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City Engineer Has Plan for Road to the
River Front.
PROPERTY OWNERS TO DONATE THE LAND
Idea IL to Open Roadway Along Sec
ton Lines from NJ street on
North to Y Street on
south.

There is an entirely new plan to open
q road to the river front. This time 1t
looks as il a permanent road would be
established. Yesterday City Engineer Beal
was able to show a plat and announce pub
licly what had been accomplished.
The idea is to open a road along section
lines from NJ street on the north TO Y
street on the south. A. X. White owns
property on the west side OF the road for
a half mile south from NJ street. Then
comes ]. L. McCague and Mary w. Bor-
land for a quarter of a mile each. Next
on the south is the Midland Investment
company with a tract of about 400 feet. On
the east side Of the line the property is
divided between Herman Kountze and L..
C. Gibson.
All of those Interested and owning abut-
ting property with the exception OF Mr..
Kountze have agreed to donate twenty-five
feet on each side OF the section line for a
road. AS Mr.. Kountze has been away for
some time those in charge Of the matter
have been unable to see him, but It is
understood that he will sign when the Pc
tition is presented to him. The petition
is now being circulated and as soon as the
signatures necessary are obtained II viii
be presented to the council.
Engineer Beal says this road can be
opened with little expense, as the city road
machine can be used to good advantage.
Two small bridges will have to be built,
but these will not cost much. By building
this road the city officials say that all
trouble with the Seagers will be done
away with and that there will then be a
good road tc the Emergency hospital and
also to the river.
