Bad Man Cone from us.

c. A. Mitchell. who was convicted
at the recent session of the district
court of the crime of burglarizing
Siegel Thomasson's chicken coop and
sentenced to a term in the peniten-
tiary of from eighteen months to
three years, was taken to Canon
City last Saturday by Sheriff Barr.
Mitchell had been doing some great
boasting to his fellow prisoners at
the county Jail, in futile endeavor
to establish reputation as bad
man." and succeeded to such an ex-
tent that one of the prisoners
warned Sheriff Barr to be on his
guard.
Mitchell annouced his intention of
making a rough house of the district
court room when he received his
sentence, and asserted that no one
man would be successful in taking
him to the pen. He also announced
that he intended to come back to La
Junta after serving his term and
start out upon career Of crime
that would strike terror in the
hearts of his enemies, such as burn
ing Barr's house. stealing Thomas
sons branding irons and branding
j. cattle in an endeavor to get the
latter in the penitentiary.
Mitchell, however, failed to make
good when it came to show down.
When Judge Dixon sentenced him
he was the mildest hammered man
imaginable. 1t may have been the
few caustic remarks with which the
Judged accompanied the sentence
that subdued him, anyway there
was not the faintest suspicion Of a
rough house," The judge re-
marked: "It is not probable that
anything l could say to you by way
of admonition would do any good,
as it is very evident that you are
beyond redemption. l have made
some inquiry around La Junta and
haqe not found single man that is
not glad that you are going to take
a little trip; in fact, have not as
yet found man who has single
good word to say in your favor"
Such gentle words as these would
almost any man and
Mitchell was no exception. He for
got about making rough house.
and when he started for the pen the
only sign he made was to weep a
few scalding tears because the sher-
if insisted upon his wearing hand
cuffs. On his way to the pen he
was the meekest hammered man
that ever made a huge bluff. and did
not cause = wave of trouble to cross
the sheri6's peaceful breast.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, April 26.-While
ten miners were being lowered into
the Conyinham mine today the rope
broke and the carriage fell to the
bottom. distance of $50 feet. All
the men were killed.
The bodies of the men were buried
under mass of wreckage at the bot
eral hours before they can be remOv-
ed. There were several hundred men
in the mine at the time CT the acci-
dent. but they escaped through other
openings. The names of the victims
are not known.
LATER.-A rescuing party was at
once organized. The bodies of the men
found were terribly mangled. Most
of the victims lived in the vicinity
of the mine. and when the rescuers
brought the crushed forms to the
surface a large crowd was in waiting.
The grief of the relatives was heart
rending. Superintendent Foote says
that he is at loss to account for
the accident. An examination of the
rope was made today before the first
cage was lowered into the mine and
it was found TO be all right. Eight of
the dead men are Poles and the two
others are English speaking miners.

HoNDo TAKES TUMBLE.
Fell More Than Foot Last Night
Dancer Passed.

Fell More Than root Last wight
Danger Passed.
According to the government guage
the water in the Hondo river fell one
and one-tenth feet last night. AT five
O'Clock yesterday afternoon the wa
ter stood al So feet This morning it
was at 4.S feet. In the opinion of old
settlers, the danger point has been
passed. and there is little danger Of
there being a flood as result of the
present thaw in the mountains. The
older observers of the ways of the
Hondo state that every day from now
on. possibly for a week the water
will begin to rise at noon and CONT
nue. all afternoon, and then fall during
the rest of the night and the follow
ing morning. This daily rise, they
say, is caused by the thaw of the day
before reaching Roswell about one
day late The first freshet, like that
of yesterday, is always the worst.
