WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 27.-The
case of Col. Melvin Grigsby, of South
Dakota, United States district attor-
ney at Nome, whose dismissal under
charges was recently recommended by
the acting attorney general, is still be-
fore the president. Mr.. Roosevelt is in
a quandary as to what action to take
in the matter. Attorney General Knox
recommended Grigsby's dismissal q
year ago, but the president at that
time turned down Mr.. Knox and al
lowed Grigsby to return to Nome
New evidence has since been brought
to light, but the president is unwilling

Ground Continues to Cave In Under North
Scranton.

SCRANTON. Pa. Feb. 27.-Another
mine cave-in occurred this evening at
North Scranton at Court street and North
Main avenue, which caused an opening
in the surface fifty feet in diameter and
ten feet deep.
The house of Mrs. Francis was partly
undermined and threatens to topple over
at any moment. This is the sixth cave-in
in seven days on the west side of the river.
There is a fear that the settling will be-
come general in this territory, and many
properties will be damaged. Unsafe pill
lars in an abandoned working are sup
posed to have caused the settling.
