 The Globe Belt says that it's sym pathy goes to the successful candi- dates rather than the defeated ones. The Belt is eminently correct, at least in so far as the county candi- dates.

MANDAMUS DISMISSED
Certificate of Election as Sheriff
 Issued to J. E. Walker

Judge Kent yesterday dismissed the writ of mandamus in the case of w. w. Cook against the mem- bers of the board of supervisors, a proceeding for a review of the ac- ton of the board of supervisors in finding that J. Elliott Walker had been elected sheriff by four votes.
 The court said briefly in an- nouncing his decision that he had been unable to find any law au- thorizing him to review thu action of the board: This decision had been expected by the attorneys for the applicant as we'll as by most of the legal fraternity and had been indicated by the remarks of the court at the time of the hearing.
 Whatever opinion might have been entertained by the court re- garding the manner of the canvass of the votes, he said that his power in the matter would depend upon the character of the board. If it was acting in a ministerial capacity when it ac- cepted one of the tally sheets of the Fourth ward of Phoenix and re- jected or ignored the other, the court might inquire by what req : son it had done so. But if the board was exercising discretionary right the court would be without the right to interfere. From other observations it was the opinion at the time that the court did not be- lieve that he could question the acts of the supervisors.
 The next thing now will be the contest which would have been in- evitable in any event. As soon as the decision of the court was an- nounced Clerk Osborn of the board of supervisors issued a certificate of election to MT. Walker. The con test will have to be filed within the next thirty days, but it will proba- bly, be filed long before the expira- tion of that time. An effort will probably be made to have it passed upon by the district court as soon as possible so that in the event of an appeal the matter may be brought before the supreme court, which will sit in January.-Phoe- nix Republican, Nov. 27.

TWO SCORE MINERS DEAD
Heartrending Scenes Enacted at

From thirty to sixty men lost their
lives in a terrific explosion which oc'
! Cured at mine No. 3 of the Rock?
Mountain Fuel and Iron Company at
Tercio. Col: RADIO, forty miles west Ut
Trinidad, F.. lay afternoon. -
The exact number Of dead may ne7-
er be known, es the mine is burning
and in all likelihood the bodies viii
be consumed. A large number of mine
officials left Trinidad as soon as weri
of the accident was received. Ihe
company doctors were picked up
along the line as we'll as ali available
physicians.
E. ]. Foreman, a government stock
inspector, was at Tercio when the ex-
plosion occurred. He returned to IT,
idad Friday and gave the following
| account of the affair: .,-s.s
II was standing not more than 600
yards from the mouth Of the tunnel
when the explosion occurred.
"The explosion: was preceded by 4
low rumbling sound resembling au
earthquake, which made the eart1
tremble and startled the whole neigS-
borhood. I looked towards the mine
and out Of the tunnel and two az
shafts came a great volume Of smoke
and dust which continued for nearly
a minute. Out of the two air shafts,
each of which are seven feet in dia-
meter, timbers that were fully two or
three feet in diameter we're shot into
the air and broken to splinters. Rocks
were thrown over the camp for. a
distance of a quarter Of mile. In
fact, it rained rocks, broken timbers
and all kinds of debris for fully a
minute. and many people were injur-
ed by being struck with these mis-
siles.
The explosion, which resembled 4
volcanic eruption, caused the widest
excitement Men, women and chill
dren rushed to the mouth Of the tun-
mel. and women whose husbands were
in the mine had to be brought away
by miners to prevent their being kill.
ed by deadly fumes coming from the
mouth of the tunnel"
Fumes Overcome Rescuers.
The mine in which the accident oc-
Cured employs eighty men; and 1t Is
believed that at least sixty were il
! the mine at the time. News Of the
| explosion brought assistance from the
adjacent camps, and within a short
time hundreds Of men were trying to
enter the mine. Deadly fumes over
came the rescuers frequently, but their
places Immediately were taken by
others ready to risk their lives. 1t
was not thought possible that any one
In the mine could escape death.
It was impossible to secure names
Of the dead and injured. Nearly al
the miners employed are Slavs. The
explosion is supposed 20 have been
caused by dust.
But one body had been recovered
Friday night, that Of T. Duran, a
driver who was just entering the tun'
mel when the explosion occurred.

Gus, to1nnriiy tho bulk of the >lnales has beer composed of warriors and hunters. the remainder being divided into two classes --cooks and doctors. The doctors are alsC priests and magicians There Is, by the way, great deal Of "wiz" business | about the religion of the tribe, which is
 wholly unlike any other cult known among the aoorigines Of this country. It is kind of sun worship. the orb ol day being adored as a god.
 The word oSage seems to be cor. 1 ruprion of the name formerly given by | the tribe to itBelf-meaning simply Peo- pie. All of its traditions are carefully preserved by Q secret society, whose meetings are attended by elaborate rites and one of these traditions is that the remote ancestors of the osages were birds from the upper world.
 There was in the region where they used to dwell-and this is no myth--a sul- phur spring, which was regarded as sa. cred by the Osages. They were accus- tened at regular intervals to throw voc tive offerings into it, such as flint knives and spear heads, to obtain the favor of the god of the water. Not long ago Prof w., H. Holmes. now director of the Bu- reau of Ethnology, dug out the spring and found there an astonishing mixture of such human "artifacts." with masta- don teeth, mammoth teeth. bones of an extinct species of horse and remains of modern animals. Nearly 1000 flint imple- ments of the finest description were se- cured, thanks to the piety of the os. ages.
 According to the records of the Indian Bureau the Osages in 1s4s numbered 4102. In 1877 there were only 3,OOl of them, and in 1884 only about half of these remain ed or 1.547. At this rate the tribe would soon have disappeared entirely, possibly leaving half dozen multi-millionaire In- dians to enjoy the possession of all it's wealth; but since then 1t has increased somewhat and the last enumeration puts the Osages down at 1,ss3.
 There is good deal of white blood in the tribe now, and full-bloods are still diminishing in numbers. Many of the latter even yet cling to the aboriginal dress and customs and occasionally one may see the proprietor of fine estate dwelling in a bark lodge, while his white hired man occupies the frame mansion. Not a few of the tribal heiresses have married white husbands, some of whom sell liquor and win money from the In- dians at gambling. But, on the whole, the osages lead 6 peaceful and content ed. while not too laborious. existence as is suitable and becoming for the peo- ple who have a right to be called ths richest in the world
