Cruel Hand of Fate

Leadville, Colo, June 30.-A week
ago today Martin Condor was killed
by a stroke of lightning. Tonight his
wife was taken to private sanitar-
ium, the shock to her reason by his
sudden death being too great for her
mind, which was already in an en-
feebled condition. Pitifully she told
the judge at the trial that Martin
was at the mine and would soon be
down TO protect her"
While her hearing was going on her
little S-year-old-son was playing in
the barn and found some cartridges,
which he exploded, tearing off several
fingers of the left hand and seriously
injuring the right one.
Mrs. Mary Coll, mother of the de-
mented woman, has taken charge of
the children. She also made a search
of the house and barn and in an aban-
doned woodbox in the barn was found
$1,000 which Condor had been saving
and had not told of it's hiding place
to anyone.
Condor was one of the best mine
of the camp and was
struck by lightning while going TO
his property week ago.

Two Hundred Men We're En-
tOmbed, and the Nine Is
Now Burning
TEXAS STATE OFFICIAL SHOT
Assassinated By Discharged
Employe- Regular Daily
Lynehins Occurs

LARAMIE, Wyo., June 30.-A ter
rife explosion took place at 1920 this
morning at the Union Pacific coal
mine at Hanna, Wyoming, known as
No. 1.
Two hundred men were working in
the mine at the time.
Thirteen of the workmen have been
rescued from the burning mine.
twelve of them are unconscious and
one dead. The rescuing party, under
the direction of the superintendent of
the mine, which organized immediate
ly has succeeded in getting air into
the mine and it is hoped to soon reach
other of the imprisoned men.
The explosion was caused by man
going into a condemned entry of the
mine. Quantities of gas had evident
ly accumulated, for the terrible ex-
plosion ensued the moment the gas
touched the miners lamp.
A special train has taken physi-
clans and nurses from Rawlins and
Laramie to the mine, which is re-
ported to be burning fercely.
Most of the entombed miners are
believed to be on the sixth level. So
far the rescuing party has been able
to only penetrate as far as the fourth
level.
At l o'clock the party of rescuers
reached the surface with the mang-
led bodies of twenty-five miners, who
were taken out of the mines by the
rear shaft or manhole.
Soma Of fhor1 vuara Olivia
found, but many Will dne.
Those that cap talk say the men
who were working further on in the
mine are probably dead
conservative estimate places the
number of dead at $50. The names of
the unfortunates and those of the res
cued miners cannot now be learned.
Surface men who went to the res
cue Immediately after the explosion
occurred are fighting manfully and are
subduing the flames which are being
confined to a few chambers.
Many of the rescuing party have
been buried or injured.
The fire is still raging in the mines
under workings, but it should be un-
der control by night.
All efforts are now in the direction
OF subduing the flames in one story at
time so that the rescuing party can
reach the entombed miners if alive
and their bodies if dead.
Special trains are rushing to Hanna
from Rawlins Carbon and other towns.
having on board volunteers to fight
the fire and dig for the entombed
miners and doctors and nurses to care
for the injured that are rescued.

Fought Twenty-ROund Draw

SAN FRANCISCO, June 30.-Eddie
Hanlon and Benny Yanker fought a
twenty-round draw here tonight. Con-
trary to the expectations of the sports,
fanker stayed the limit When the
little fellows entered the ring the bet
ting was 10 to in favor of Hanlon.
The latter had ruled favorite in the
betting all along, but the heaviest
odds were not reached until tonight.
The fight was fast and furious from
the sound of the gong and ended
with the men fighting like demons,
but Hanlon succeeded in landing the
most telling punches. The pavilion
was in an uproar and when the referee
declared II a draw they cheered tum-
ultously.
Two spirited preliminaries of two
and three rounds each preceded the
main event.

evening at O'Clock sharp, in Justice
Robins Office at the court house, and

Taking Every PrecautiOn

London, June 29.-Although the
health of the Pope is much improved.
the Italian government, so as to be
prepared for any eventuality, has or
dered two regiments in the provinces
to be kept ready to come to Rome
and reinforce the garrison in the city
so that the authorities will have a
sufficient force to maintain order and
insure the liberty of the eonclave
should it be necessary to hold one.
If the Cardinals, after the death of
Plus TX, decide TO meet at the Vatican
the government will surround the Pal
ace with a Gordon OF troops to pre-
vent any attempt against the free
dom of the conclave and also the re-
moval of valuables from the Vatican
during the interregnum as was GUS
tomary before 1880.

CROPS MADE
GOOD GROWTH
Alfalfa Yield Heaviest in Years
---Other Crops are Prom
ising

Carson City, June 30.-Good grow
| ing weather prevailed throughout the
state during the past week and crops
OF all kinds made rapid and satisfact-
ory progress. The daily mean tenn
perature ranged from 4 to degrees
above normal. Toward the close of
the week the weather was generally
cloudy, with scattered showers in
some OF the western districts on the
morning of the 29th. Streams have
fallen considerably during the week,
but yet carry fairly good volume
of water.
The weather conditions of the past
week were all that could have been
desired for the growth and advance
ment of crops and for harvesting op-
erations as well. The harvesting of
alfalfa will become general over the
state during the coming week; the
crop promises to be heavier than
usual in most districts. In the east
ern section winter wheat and rye are
headed and alfalfa is beginning to
bloom in the northeastern portion. In
the extreme south portion the sec
ond cutting of alfalfa is nearing COM
pletion and the thTeshing of grain

A Terrible Revenge

Media, Pa, June 30.-Six persons
were shot and severely wounded last
night in a trolley car between Media
and Chester. A negro, known to have
been seeking revenge because the con-
ductor of the car recently elected him,
discharged both barrels of shotgun
at the car as it passed lonely spot
in the country. The car was crowded
and the shots coming from the dark
roadside, caused a wild fright among
the passengers, most of whom were
women. Four OF the latter were
among the wounded. They received
shot about the arms and chest. The
negro, in the excitement which ensued.
made his escape.

WILL ACCEPT
RENO'S OFFER
Prof Winfrey Withdraws Ap-
pIicatiOn for PrinCipaIship
Here Next Year

Professor K. E. Winfrey, principal
OF the Winnemucca schools, was last
evening chosen principal of the public
schools of this city.
He was nominated by Frank d. King
and seconded by Trustee Fletcher.
Professor Bray was placed in nomin-
alton by w. w. Webster. Professor
Winfrey was chosen on the first bal
lot.
The new principal is a Reno man.
He resided nearly all his lifetime here
and has taught number of years In
the schools of the state with success.
Professor Bray, who is retired, has
been principal of the Reno schools
for the past thirteen years and has
built up the system. His work has
been very satisfactory.-Ren Journal
The directors of this district receiv
ed a letter this morning from Nh
Winfrey; written from Reno, in which
he withdrew his application for the
principalship of the Winnemucca
schools for next year, and stating that
he had accepted the offer made him
by the directors of the schools OF
Reno. The board is to hold meeting
next week, and the resignation-fol
the withdrawal of his application
amounts to the same thing as a resig-
nation-will be acted upon. At this
meeting the choice of teachers for the
other grades will ve made, but the
Silver State is reliably informed that
no action regarding the principalship
will be taken, further than to take
-. ~f fsax of
ter. There are already several appli-
cants for the position, and the board
has been advised that others will ap-
ply; so it has been deemed advisable
to let the matter rest for time, and
the board has an opportunity to look
we'll into the qualifications of all the
applicants. 1t is understood that Mr..
Winfrey in his letter recommends a
gentleman from Eureka, with whose
qualifications he is familiar.
The board has no easy task before
it in the selection of a man to succeed
Mr. Winfrey He not only has all
the qualifications for teaching and
managing, but he is devoted to his
profession, enthusiastic and ambitious
He has succeeded here far beyond the
expectations-the hopes, even-of his
most sincere admirers; and while the
position of school superintendent is
hard to fill to the satisfaction of the
patrons Of the school, it is safe to say
that no one will ever be called to
thal position here who will succeed
in pleasing greater number of pupils
and parents. Under his management
the school has advanced rapidly and
the greatest degree of harmony has
existed between pupil and teacher, and
between teacher and principal. Mr..
Winfrey writes the board that he
leaves this place with deepest regret,
and that he will never cease to feel
deep interest in the Winnemucca
schools. The acceptance of the offer
made by Reno means a promotion for
him, however. and no one will CEN
sure him for desiring to accept it.

tension of Hilo trade. They made a

POUNDS NOT DOLLARS.

In the Governors message on the
1895 martial law claims, those of the
British were evidently given in pounds
though added as dollars. This is shown
by comparison with former statements
published, which give exactly five
times the amount in each case stated
In the Governors message. The cor,

figures add. Claims of Americans
