which the new shift may have fired.
!, 1t is suggested from the force of the
explosion which could be heard for
miles around, and which tore heavy
timbers aside and piled tons Of dirt
into the shaft, that bad shot had set
off some dynamite which had been
stored conveniently for work in push
ing the entries. The shaft is $50 feet
deep and it was 300 feet to the plane
where the men were working. The
men were supplied with air famed
from the shaft and by means of COM
pressed air tubes. It is the general
opinion that the air pipe was burst by
an explosion, but air has been stead
lily pumped all day, with the remote
hope that some of the entombed men
may have escaped the force of the ex-
plosion and after damp. The rescuers
began work within few minutes after
the explosion. The condition of the
timbers indicates that it will be i'm
possible to recase the mine in which
event the bodies may not be reached
before Wednesday or Thursday.

From Mondays Daily.
The decision of Judge Mcpherson in
favor OF the city in the case of the CITY
OF Ottumwa VS.. the Assyrian Asphalt
company and the American Bondine
company has been affirmed by the
United States circuit court of appeals.
The suit was brought on account of
the asphalt paving on West Second

and Judgment was rendered in favor
of the city for $14,520.
The paving built by the asphalt COM
pany was guaranteed to last certain
number OF years and was to be kept
IN repair for a certain length of time.
The paving, 1t Is said, fell far short of
the quality guaranteed by the contrac ct
and the company failed to keep it's
part OF the contract in keeping the nav.
Ing IN good repair. Before the expira-
tion OF the time specified In the con-
tract for which the street was to be

AT the suggestion of w. H. C..
Jaques, city solicitor, the city council
authorized the bringing Of suit against
the American Bonding company, which
furnished the bond for the asphalt
company. The case was tried before
Judge Mcpherson OF the United States
circuit court at Des Moines and judg-
ment rendered In favor Of the city.
The bonding company appealed the
case and the arguments were made
before the United States circuit court
OF appeals at st. Louis several months
ago, by Mr.. Jaques, representing the
city. Mr.. Jauues received a telegram
from the clerk Of the court this after
'nc,n stating that the decision of the
lower court had been affirmed. The

cides the case for good and saves the
city over $4,000.
