FIFTY NEAR DEATH
CAUGHT IN BOTTOM OF SHAFT
500 FEET BELOW SURFACE.
Men Were Hoisted to the Top While
Deadly Flames Raeed Be-
meath Them,

Florence, Colo, Oct. 6.-Fifty men
had narrow escape from death this
afternoon in fire in the Fremont
coal mine, three miles from here.
The men were caught in the bot
tom of shaft, which was 500 feet
deep and while volunteers from above
hoisted them one by one from tn
shaft by means of ropes, other rescu-
ers worked like demons to preven.
the deadly gases generated by the
fire and the smoke from passing down
the air shaft to the imprisoned men.
To keep back the gases and smoke
1t was necessary to keep a constant
stream of water pouring down the air
shaft. Before the work of rescue mad
proceeded to any length 1t was found
that the water supply Of the mine was
near exhaustion.
Fearing that the unfortunate miners
would he asphyxiated, the railroad ran
special trains to this city and a plen-
tiful supply of water was secured.
1t was midnight before the last OF
the miners had been brought to the
surface
The fire originated through the ex
plosion of the electric dynamo in
the surface workings Immediately
the entire plant above ground was
ablaye The buildings, recently erect
ed at a cost of $4,000 were de-
stroyed inside of an hour
The fire was the most damaging yet
experienced in coal mine in this
section.

SNAPS AT HIS FOOD
LIKE A CANINE ENRAGED, DOES
FRANK CASTOR.
Former Canton Man, Accused of Muir
der, Continues to Act Like
Beast at Columbus.

A second inquest held over Frank
Castor at Columbus by the commits
sion appointed by the criminal court
failed to gather enough information
to warrant either finding of sanity
or insanity.
Feeling unsatisfied still with their
opinions as to Castor's mental condi-
tioI, the alienists will hold another in
quest in the cell Of the murderer. II
is thought that this will be the last.
Castor, who 1t is thought is trying to
play insane in order to escape punish
ment for the alleged murder of Police
man Davis at the Chapman home on
June 6, conducts himself toward the
physicians in the same manner as he
did toward his attorneys, refusing to
speak, look at, listen or even pay any
attention to them or their questions
A guard is watching Castor both day
and night, hoping to discover some
thing that will aid the alienists In their
investigation.
With jailers Castor conducts him
self In the same manner, refusing to
eat until food is placed under his nose
and then swapping at 1t much after the
manner of hungered dog.
Judge Uric Sloane, who was ap-
pointed with Attorney G. M. Rogers,
to defend Castor, said Thursday morn
ing that il the doctors made a finding
OF sanity against Castor and found that
1t was mere obstinance, he would con-
slider well before he would defend him.

How is II, McCurdy, that you, as a

THE cashier, I believe, has list of

But the salaries are fixed by the

claimed.
That no action that he knew Of was
taken by the Mutual Life Insurance Co.

Mr.. Hughes forced Mr.. McCurdy to
admit that, although he had been a

ard A. McCurdy, president of the Mu-

THE ATTITUDE
OF THE ADMINISTRATION TO BE
PRESENTED IN OHIO.
In Regard to Railroad Rate Lesisla-
tlon by Secretary Taft Before
His Return to Panama.

'''' -
Washington, ID. c., Oct. 6.-The Pan
anna canal construction will continue
to be under the direction of the war
department. This decision was reached
at the cabinet meeting today. Secre-
tary Taft said that he would fill his
campaign engagements in Ohio, with
the particular object in view of pre-
senting the Administrations attitude
on the railroad rate regulation ques-
ion, and then visit the isthmus.
There is an intention to invite the
members Of the senate and house COM
mittee on interocsahic canals to ac-
company him, so that they will be In a
position to act upon legislation af-
fecting the great waterway with full
knowledge OF its present status and its
future needs.
There have been so many adverse re-
ports circulated of the progress of the
work on the isthmus that 1t is deemed
advisable for them to have expert au-
thority to meet the criticism that is
expected when the question comes up
for action in congress.
1t will be remembered that the house
Of representatives was originally for
the Nicaraguan route. 1t was the in
fuence of the late Senator Hanna that
resulted In its acquiescence to the Sc
lection of the Panama route. The old
Nicaraguan advocates in the house and
senate expect to assail the weak spots
in the present system II any can be
discovered.
