form which will assure the Christian
people of Macedonia security for their
lives and property, and the right to
participate In the administration Of
the country.
1.-THE present revolutionary organi-
zation came into existence nine years

came fragrant. To-day all Macedonia

COAL MINERS
CLOSE CALL
Gritty Coal Miner, Severely Injured
by Falling Mass, Goes Quarter Of
a Mile on All Fours.
He NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH
Halt a Ton of Coal 6razes his Head

Brought Into the Hospital.

Had not II. |. jenkins shkwn most
remarkable grit last Wednesday he
would probably have been left for
hours suffering from a badly bruised
body and smashed foot at the mouth
OF a small coal mine out on Rock
creek bench. He was working alone
in the mine, which he and Dan Sharpe
W about Is miles from Lewistown.
While digging away about 2 O'Clock in
the afternoon a a Of coal and dirt,
weighing not less than 1000 pounds,
fell from almost Immediately above
him. A corner of the coal struck his
head, throwing him back against the
side of the mine, and the entire mass
struck his right foot with full weight.
I He was dazed for a moment, but
recovering he found that the weight
mad rolled Off OF his foot and that he
was free 10 move. Feeling somewhat
feint he made his way to the water
Uaircl and took a draught. He was
momentarily refreshed and crawled
back into the mine TO see exactly how
the accident happened. He again felt
somewhat dizzy, SO decided that the
best thing he could do was to try to
get home. Putting on a large pair OF
gloves he started to crawl to his S 1)p-
ping place. about a quarter OF a mile
distant. IL was down hill most Of the
way and this fact, combined with the
terrible pain from his foot and side,
caused him almost to faint several
times, but he gritted his teeth, brac-
ed up for a moment and resumed his
slow and painful trip. 1t took him
about an hour to make the quarter,
but it felt like a week TO the suffer-
ing Once there IL was some
Time before any one came. BY way of
passing away the time Jenkins took
OFF his shoe, which was d very labor
ious task. and tried TO set the broken
Lones in his foot. II was too much
swollen for him to do anything, SO he
was compelled TO stand the torture IN.
Ill he had an opportunity to come to
Lcwistown, which was "a hours after
the accident happened. He arrived
at the hospital Thursday evening and
the foot was placed In a plaster cast
by DR.. Attix. 1t will be some time
before the swelling will go down suffi-
cient to permit the doctor to set the
bones. In addition TO his broken foot,
several ribs were injured. Had he
been standing five inches to the right
he would have been Instantly killed.
