Baker City, Or, April 1s.-A
miner working at the South Pole
mine distinguished himself Thurs
day by taking ride Of 1900 feet
on a snowslide, without injury to
himself. The snow has become
banked on the ridge of the sum nit
just above the opening of the mine
tunpel. Past experience has taught
the workmen to be on the lookout
for snowslides at this season of the
year in that vicinity.
Recently the foreman of the mine
came to the conclusion that he
could get rid of the danger by the
use of dynamite. The scheme
worked to a charm. 1t was easy to
start a slide with a moderate charge
of the high explosive. By starting
the slides it was easy to get rid of
the heavy embankment of snow
above the mine, thus eliminating
the possibility of slide for the bal
ance of the season.
Thursday, one of the men, whose
name could not be ascertained,
ventured out too far on the over
hanging snowbank, when lot
weighing several hundred tons
broke loosesand the venturesome
miner was treated to a fast and fu-
rious ride down the incline for
distance os 1900 feet. Fortunately
the snows1lde did not crumble and
roll, which enabled the man to
stay on top, else he would have
been instantly killed.
Coasting down steep hill on a
huge block of snow is a thrilling
experience, but no amount of mon.
ey could induce this man to repeat
the performance.

SHOT HIMSELF.
Fourteen Year Old Boy-Was Ac-
cidental-Wadding Penetrated to
Bone.

The fourteen-year-old son of
William Moves of Blodgett, is at
the home of w. H. Dilly in this
city. with bad gunshot wound in
his arm. 1t is the result of an ac-
cident that happened as the lad left
the farm home near Blodgett, Fri
day, to shoot a bird. One account
is that the butt of the shot gun
slipped from the step and that the
hammer caught in such a way as
to discharge the weapon.
The full charge OF the shot en-
tered the upper portion of the arm
where it joins the shoulder. The
muzzle was SO close that the wad-
ding Of the charge penetrated the
wound to the bone. DR.. Cathey
happened to be in the vicinity. and
reached the boy within short time
afterward Saturday the victim
was brought in on the train for
treatment Fifteen to twenty
number four shot have been taken
from the wound, eight or more of
them from the bone.
The chief difficulty in the case is
that some of the shot may have en-
tered the joint where they have es-
capped notice, and where they might
set up septic poisoning and cause
trouble. Nothing of the kind has
developed so far. however, and
there is every prospect for favor
able outcome.

Weymouth, April 17.-Sir Thorn
as Lipton's new challenger for the
Americas cup was dismasted in
squall today, shortly after leaving
this harbor preparatory to another
trial spin with Shamrock I.
Her mast, as it fell over the side,
carried several of the crew, and all
the geer and canvas overheard.
One man was drowned, and several
persons, including Sir Thomas, who
was knocked down hatchway,
were bruised or otherwise injured.
The man who was drowned was a
brother-in-law of Captain Wringe.
He was handing a binocular glass
to Sir Thomas at the time he was
swept overheard. One of Sir Thom-
ass hands was injured, but not .se-
riously.
The hull of the Shamrock III
was not damaged. The mast, when
it went overheard, was solid. There
was at that time only one break,
which was abeut seven feet above
deck. AS the big spar, with its
weight of canvas became heavier,
owing to the water in it, the mast
again buckled its head, going down
until it rested on the bottom. II
lis believed it will be comparatively
easy to repair the mast, but whole
suit of canvas is ruined.

Salem, Or. April 1S.-Reports fo
the success of the condensed milk
factory at Forest Grove are received
with great satisfaction by farmers,
dairymen and creamery operators
in this vicinity. This new market
for milk will lessen the production
of butter and strengthen the market
for the latter product in a cores
ponding degree.
The business of the Forest Grove
enterprise does not, of course, cut
into the patronage of the Salem
creamery. It will, however, relieve
the Portland butter market slightly
and the creameries will benefit
thereby. The high prices that have
been paid for butter fat during the
last year encourage the dairymen
to believe that the coming year will
be very profitable one.

Frankfort, KY, April 19.-James
Howard was called as the first wit
ness for the defense in his trial to-
day for the murder of Governor
Goebel. He testified to arriving
here shortly before the ahoo}ing.
He repeated his former testimony
that he was in the Board of Trade
Hotel when he heard of the shoot
ing, and that be had not pre- vious-
ly that day visited the state house
grounds. His defense is an alibi.
and in support Of this he gave the
alleged m novements of himself about
the hotel from the time OF his arriv-
al until after the shooting. He de-
MED that he knew either Tay ylor,
Culton or Goebel.
The witness also denied emphat-
ically that he ever saw Henry Yout-
sey until he met him in jail and he
denied positively and emphstically
that he ever received a letter from
Governor Taylor or did any of the
things to which Youtsey testified.
At the afternoon session, Howard
continued his testimony in his own
behalf. He declared he had never
had an agreement with Youtsey
and had never spoken to him until
he saw him il jail.
Upon cross examination, How
stated be went to Frankfort on
January 80, 1870, to see Taylor.
He further said Sheriff White had
received a letter to him from Tay-
lor, telling him to come to Frank
fort at once if he desired pardon
for the murder of Baker, as Goebtl
would soon be governor,
Asked if he had no, said to Wes-
ley Whitaker, a barber at Man
ctes'er after the killing, thatthings

arrival at Frank fort, and greeted
him and that everything was ready

about 80 minutes after he got there,
and taat, if be was ever convicted
again for the murder Of George BIZ
ker, he would flash a pardon in
their faces, he replied:
Il did not"
Howard also denied having seen
john Powers or having been intro
duced to Wharton Golden on the
afternoon of the shooting. Asked
if a military captain had taken him
to a crowd of soldiers on. the night
Of the murder and ordered them to
take good care of him, Howard re-
piled that he did not recollect the

Wilkesbarre, April 11-Drill
men FIR the Lehigh and Wiiksbarre
Coal Company determined today
the size of one of the richest depos-
it's of coal In the anthracite field.
Eight veins which have never be-
fore been operated in the upper dis
trlct were located, and the coal in
twelve veins at present worked in
this district, and which lie beneath
the new ones, was found to be rich
and the veins thick.
1t is estimated that in tbs tract
which includes the veins there are
about three hundred million tons
OF coal. The tract lies in Hanover
township, just south of this city,
aud is the highest coal. bearing land
in the upper region. It comprises
almost $500 acres, in which the
coal is estimated at 10000 tons to
the acre. This at the present market,
would be worth almost billion
dollars.
The land is owned by the Lehigb
and Wilkesbarre on the north, and
the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western on the south, each having
about half, and most of it is in fee
simple, SO that there will be COM
paratively little royalty.
The borings have been going on
quietly for six months. The red
ash vein was reached 1890 feet be-
low the surface, deeper than it has
ever been found in this region.
The company's officials do not
say when shaft will be sunk.
There are close by the Lehigh Val

Examiners Report.

The state examiner of public accounts, J. T. German, filed with the governor to- day reports on the books of the various officials of Greene county. For the most part the records were declared correctly kept. w. A. Gordon, the circuit clerk. had failed to collect one solicitors fee, amounting to $20 The collection was promptly made and remitted.
 The accounts of Probate Judge A. P. Smith, Sheriff E. c. Meredith, Superin- tendent of Education w. P. Archibald, Tax Collector Parham and Tax Assessor G. F. Hardy were all reported as cor rect. MT. German says the lands of Green county are assessed at an average value of about 8 per acre, which he esti mates to be about one-third of their real value. The tax valuations have slightly decreased for the past two years. This is attributed to two crop failures.
 Assistant Examiner T. J. Rutledge filed reports on the books of the Pickens county officials and three slight errors were found. Tax Assessor T. B. Car penter had an error in his books amount ing to S64.56, which was promptly paid over. Sheriff B. B. Almond collected &.S0 excess in one feed bill. The late tax collector, W. H.

 Debts to State LEGAL STEPS TO BE TAKEN Attorney General Wilson Investigating the Matter and Grand Juries May
 Be Asked to Act-News
 of Montgomery.
LEGAL STEPS TO BE TAKEN

Montgomery November 27.-(special)- The state is having considerable trouble in the collection of the special tax on Illuminating oils, which was imposed by special act of the last legislature. Prac- tically all of the companies doing bus mess in the state have failed to comply with the tag requirement and as a result the state will immediately institute both criminal and civil proceedings against many dealers for selling oils without the required tag.
 The law provides that any person. firm, association or corporation selling or of fering for sale or exchange any illuml- mating oil in the state shall be required to have tags attached to each tank, bar rel, can, package or parcel of said oil, and shall also be required to use tags for every gallon sold in bulk from tank wagons or storage. These tags are to contain the guarantee that the oil is of a stated degree. fair test and not to be less than 120 degrees Faherenheit. A fine of fifty dollars for each seperate offense is to be imposed for selling oil less than this test
 The auditor has had many thousands of the tags printed and placed in the hands of the proper officials of the Ala psma Polytechnic Institute for sale to the oil companies at the rate of one-half cent for each gallon of oil.
 Attorney General Wilson is busy look ing into the case, and unless dealers be- gin the observance of the law it is ex- pected that the grand juries in the sev- eral counties may be asked to take up che matter and wholesale return of inoict- ments would probably follow, since all most every retail grocery merchant In the state is affected. It may be that one of the large oil companies will test the law in the courts.

out-of.poor Weddings Popular.

Florence, November 27.-(Specia1)-A popular way to be married among the young women of East Florence is to have the ceremony performed while sit- ting in a buggy and Esquire c. L.

Despite the icy blasts which have whistled through the streets all yesterday Miss Mamie Freeman, a daughter of Wylie Freeman, of East Florence, and Will Hall chose an out-of door wedding. At Il o'clock yester- day morning they drove up beside the wall in Maxwell cut where Esquire Blakely tied the knot as fast as 1t could have been done had the circumstances been conductive to romance.
