IN REYNoLDs's FAVOR.
Girls Industrial School Said to Be
 Indebted to Him.

Columblana. March 13-(Special)-The case of the Gir.s' Industrial School vs. H. c. Reynolds and w. B. Reynolds, of Montevallo was taken up In the Chan eery Court here today. This case has been on hand since 1899. having been filed during Governor Johnston's admin istratlon. The bill was filed by the school and claimed a large amount of the Rey- holds by reason of the fact that Captain Reynolds as president of the school de- posted money that came in his hands with the firm of H. C. and w. B. Key holds.
 A complete denial was made by the firm and a cross bill was filed by Captain Reynolds claiming that the school was indebted to him in large amount. Cap tain Reynolds had as witnesses for him. self various members of the board of trustees.
 The Chancellor passed on the law In the case at the last term of the court and referred the matter of the accounts between the parties to Hon. J. R. White. Register in Chancery. For the past week Register White has had the matter un- der consideration. examining witnesses and looking over the accounts Today he made a report to the Chancellor sustain ing Captain Reynolds and recommending that he be given verdict against the school of $5.S32.
 One of the unique features In the tes- tirnony was a personal letter from Hon. Thomas B. Reed to Captain Reynolds, written a short time before MT. Reed S death in which he stated that to Cap tain Reynolds's efforts more than any one else was due the passage of the Dill by Congress granting the school 2o,oO0 acres mineral lands. The evidence in the case showed the land to be worth to the school a quarter million of dollars Cap . tain Reynolds worked on this bill for three years before its passage, carrying many influential Republicans to Washing ton to assist him and paying all expenses ont of his own pocket. The evidence In the case showed that he had never drawn a dollar from the school for these expen- ditures.
 The report and finding of the Register was filed and will be considered by the Chancellor during vacation.

ARGUS TUNNEL
HOUSE ~ ~ Y
BLOWN UP. - y

The blacksmith shop and tunnel house
at the Argus tunnel, located some three
miles up Chicago creek, and owned by
the Argus Mines and Tunnel Company,
was completely wrecked on last Satur
day morning by the explosion OF thirteen
sticks of dynamite. A horse, used by
the contractors, who were at work in the
mine was so severely injured that he had
to be shot The explosion occurred about
Io:4s in the morning. just before the
men came out to lunch. The real cause
of the explosion is not actually known,
but it is supposed to have been caused
by overheating of the power. Messrs.
White and Mitchell, who are contracting
on the tunnel, had double boiler which
they filed with water and placed on the
stove to thaw the powder, and had been
used by them and the company for over
a wear, and was considered as safe by
Manager Hoban. In the shop was nearly
half a box of powder which was not ex-
ploded by the conclusion, strange as 1t
may seem. Another feature causing

IDAHO SPRINGS

1T was great game" says the High
School girls of Idaho Springs, while the
Georgetown girls claim that their boys
were not in practice and the Idaho boys
were much heavier and that they were
on strange ground" Anyway it was
large crowd who gathered at the Troca-
dero last Saturday evening to witness the
trial of strength and skill between these
two star teams of High School boys. 1t
was an exciting and interesting game,
with fine plays credited to both sides.
The Idaho Springs boys won the game
by score of 23 TO 7.
The visitors were, it must be acknow-
iedged, some lighter in weight than the
locals and seemed to have lost interest or
heart after the first half of the game,
when the score stood II to 6 in favor of
Idaho. The team work of the locals was
noticeable as being very proficient
throughout the entire game and was
much applauded. Henry Mcclellaud

A Flying Hotel.

The Golden State Limited" recently
placed in service between Chicago and
California by the Rock Island System, is
beyond doubt the most practical train
ever constructed. Bath rooms, barber
shop, library, dining service, electric
lights, electric fans-in fact every con-
trivance imaginable.
The Rock Island was the first line to
establish low excursion rates between
the east and Colorado, and the officials
will not cease to expound every effort to
continue to increase the popularity of its
resorts. With this in view, it will not be
surprising to see in the very near future
such trains as the Colorado Flyer" and
the "Rocky Mountain Limited" similarly
equipped.
One thing is certain, there is never
anything better than the Rock Island
Service, and its dining car system is in
comparable.

wonder is that small ga soline engine
used in running the blower was in no
way injured, while the shop, which is
built of wood was literally broken up in
blocks.
Mr.. John White, who is one of the
contractors at the tunnel, was at the in
stant of the explosion on his way out of
the tunnel to look after the power and
had almost reached the mouth of the
tunnel when it occurred. He was sew
erely stunned, but says he was frightened
great deal worse. Had the explosion
happeued only few seconds later Mr..
White would have lost his life. 1t is one
of those mysterious escapes of the min
er from instant death which is met with
and which leaves its mark ever after.
The loss to the company will be about
$500. Messrs. White and Mitchell, the
contractors, loss is estimated at $500 in
supplies and in the loss of their horse.
The tunnel house will be Immediately
rebuilt with some improvements.
