A miner by the name of Hines was
instantly killed on the 400 level of the
Gold Road mine last Monday morning
by the premature discharge of blast.
He had been working with partner
on one of the machines and had gotten
in a round of holes and ready TO fire.
The partner went to the level above,
leaving Hines to set off the shots. A
few minutes afterward the report of
the exploding shots was heard, bnt
Hines failed TO make his appearance
on the level and an investigation re-
vealed his mangled remains in the
drift below. The body was taken to
Kingman Wednesday afternoon and
buried in the cemetery west of town.
Deceased was a new man at the camp
and is said to have been a quiet, gen.
tlemanly fellow. He was about thirty
five years of age. This was the first

Attorney Douglass Warns
Jury Against Testimony
of Inspectors.

Argument for the defense was begun
this morning in the trial OF the POST
office conspiracy case. +. S. Douglass
presented the first argument, which was
devoted to a geneTel consideration of
the evidence. He took up In turn the
principal points in the case as they
were viewed by the defense and prose-
cution and set forth the reasons why
the defense should prevail.
The courtroom was crowded. as there
has been more popular interest in the
arguments than in any ether feature OF
the famous trial Women were not as
numerous among the spectators today
as they have been on other days. but
there were enough OF them TO lend color
to the scene. Many of the most promi-
nent members of the Washington bar

AS was expected, Mr.. Douglass de-
voted much time TO the value of the
testimony Of inspectors, and TO the part
which r. j. Wynne. First Assistant
Postmaster General had in bringing
about the Investigations. The speaker
warned the jury not 70 place too much
dependence in the testimony OK inspec-
tors. and intimated that they purposely
refrained from taking written state
ments from the accused in several in
stances in order that they might have
more latitude while testifying Tor the
Government.
Mr.. Wynne was hinted at as deep,
dark, desperate person, who had egged
on the Inspectors TO select Machen as
the special object OF official wrath. SIR,
Wynne was also held Up 10 scsrn @oe-

In forming beliefs regarding Japa-

important fact that must not be lost

possibility that his movements may have

dispatch from CheefOo. China. this
morning states that the previous attacks
OF the japanese fleet were nothing more
than skirnishes and that their success

caused many TO wonder what will hap

been but skirmishes. when a concerted
and well-planned attack on the Russian
feet occurs.
Reports today also contain the infOr-
nation that preparations are advancing
for clash at some point near the Yalu

forces have reached a point near Wiju.
