MINIS Remarkable Escape.
OF all the remarkable incidents Of
the catastrophe, the escape of the
United States mint is perhaps the most
wonderful. Withstanding the terrible
shock Of the earthquake, it looked for
a long time as If the building would
be destroyed by fire. Inside the vaults
of the great structure was 1901, 900, 900
in gold and silver coin and $8,0O0,0OO
swept toward this store Of wealth
from all sides.
That the building was saved is due
entirely to the efforts OF Superintend-
ent Leach, his assistants, and the fire
department. Every building for many
blocks around is RACED to the ground,
only the mint building standing as d
testimonial to the work Of heroic men
Superintendent Leach in his report to
Secretary Roberts said:
Every building around the mint
was burned entirely to the ground. It
is the only building not destroyed for
blocks. reached the building before
the worst of the shock came, finding
lot of our men; then stationed them
at points Of vantage from roof to base
ment, and with our fire apparatus and
the help of the fire department we
successfully fought the fire away, al
though many windows were burned
out. Fire coming drove us back for a
time. Adjusting rooms and refinery
were damaged some, and the heavy
stone cornice on that side of the build
ing melted off. The roof buried lit
tle."
1t is claimed that, had the building
burned down, it would have resulted
in the loss Of millions Of dollars to the
government, as all the coin and bull
lion would have been melted and per-
haps destroyed.

TRAGEDY AT ElVINS.
Young Man in Jealous Rage Shoots
Rival and Then Kills Himself.

An ugly tragedy occurred AT Elvins
last Sunday evening in which Robert
Mitchell, a telegraph operator of the
Illinois Southern railway, shot aud
probably fatally wounded Ed. Riuke,
then placed the pistol to his own
head and shot and instantly killed
himself, The rash deed appears to
have been committed in a jealous rage
over young Rinke's attentions to a
young lady, Miss Elsie Wilson, for
metly Of Fredericktown, to whom
Mitchell was also paying attentions.
Mitchell and Miss Wilson boarded
at the hotel. On Sunday young Einke
took Miss Wilson to the annual basket
dinner at Three Rivers Church, in Sto.
Genevievc county. When they re-
turned in the evening the young lady
invited Rinke TO take supper with her.
Mitchell was at the table when they
entered the dining room, but soon
arose and went out. lie had told sew
eral parties that he intended to kill
Rnke, and they tried to dissuade him
from his murdcrous intentions and to
disnrm him, but he threatened to shoot
any one who intcrfered with him.
Rinkc wa, told Of Mnchcll's threats,
became very uneasy, and would have
slipped away if he could without
Mitchell seeing him, but that seemed
to be- impractical, 80 the Young lady
invited him IQ 20 uplo her room
Mitchell saw them going up the
stairway aud started after them. Tho
couple reached the room, entered aud
locked the door. When Mitchell
found the door locked he kicked it in,
and Rlnkc tried to grab him to keep
him from shooting, The first shot hit
linke just above one eye and ranged
down. He fell and Mitchell shot him
twice in the back near the shoulder.
Mitchell then left the room, walked to
the head Of the stairway and placing
the pistol to his own head shot him.
self through the brain.
An inquest was held over the body
of Mitchell on Monday by Dr. IL NJ.
Topping, county coroner, aud the fact.
about as related above were elected.
The verdict of the jury was that he
came to his death by gunshot wound
inflicted by himself
. Young Rinke, who is only nineteen
years old, is in a very prccarious con
di,ion, and his recovery is doubtful.
The wounds in his back are considered
the more dangerous, and probing
failed to locate the balls. Mitchell
was Only twenty-five years of age.
The Young woman, who was the
innocent cause of the deporabc crime,
is naturally very much gricvcd and
distressed, and was pro,trated for a
time over the terrible shock to her
nervous system.
