Trinidad, Colo.-Fire started in the
Engleville mine, one of the Oldest In
Las Animas county, Wednesday,, and
it is learned from the latest reports
that all efforts to surround and smoth.
er it have so far been fruitless. Flames
were first discovered in the seven
teenth entry, which is one mile from
the main entrance, and owing to the
dense smoke which has filled the mine,
1t is next to impossible to fight the
fire. Smoke and gas have spread to
the Starkville workings, which con-
meet with the Engleville mine, COM
polling the suspension of work there.
The Engleville mine is owned by the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company, which
controls vast interests in the proper.
ties of Las Animas county. About 300
men were employed in the workings
that are threatened with destruction,
but all had deserted the mine before
any real danger was threatened.

LOVE FOR FISH

Three Japanese Are Drowned
While Trying to Escape
From Officers.
Had Been In the Habit Of Dynamiting
Fish, and Made a Break for Lib

Arrest, With Sad Results.

Boise, Ida-W w. Stephens, state

Of three japanese in the north fork OF
the Snake river while attempting to
escape from fisherman who had ar
rested them for dynamiting fish.
1t seems there are about 100 Japan
csc working on the Marysvale road a
short distance above st. Anthony.
They like fish, and whenever they
want some they slip out, drop stich
of dynamite into the stream and kill
a large number. The practice of the
Japanese became known to fishermen
and plans were laid to catch them.
Mr.. Stephens arranged that any fsh4
srman catching the Japs at work
should hold them up until he could
turn them over to a deputy warden.
The stream was watched for long
time before an opportunity came to
make an example of the children OF
the mikado Finally fisherman
caught six of them in the act Of dyna,
hitting fish. He promptly placed them
under arrest, but the entire six made
a dash for liberty, jumping into the
river in their effort to escape. Three
managed to get across, but the othe1
three were carried down stream and

OUARRELEO OVER TENTS
FOUGHT WITH P|CKAXES
Fatal ARRAY Occurs in San Franois'
co as Result of Two Men Claiming
the Same Camping Ground.

San Observation-Disclosures in dis.
pute over tent rights dueled wsth
pickaxes in Columbia square. The
battle was to be to the death, and
ended only when Edward Kilcline fell
MORALLY wounded by William Bell.
Kilcline lay upon the rain-soaked
sward, the blood gushing from his
wounds. All the ribs on the right
side were fractured, and the poinard-
like point of Bells pick had pierced
his side, puncturing the lung. Bell
was arrested as he stood over Kill
cline's PROSTATE form with his weapon
poised for another blow. No charge
will be place against him until the
outcome of the ARRAY is known, but
the physicians think Kilcline will
surely die. The battle arose when the
rain came on and each man claimed
the right to move his tent to a plot
of ground higher than the rest and
affording dry flooring during the
storm. Each seized a pick to drive the
other from the coveted site, and half
the other campers realized that there
was quarrel. The steel points of the
picks were clashing as each combat
ant swung for a vital spot. Before
they quareled it is said the men were
the best of friends.
