Seven Hundred MISSING.

Inc tOtal nu1per OF men missing after
the catastrophe was ,212. The bodies re-
covered approximately numbered 500 and
there are still unaccounted for approxi-
mately 200.
The engineers explained that some smol-
dering fires prevented them from exDlor-
ing remote passages of the mine where
it was thought there could be no surviv-
Ors. The mine owners also claim that thu
strike of miners reduced the number of
Tescuers available. Many engineers and
scientists agree that all in the mine must
have died long ago. Engineer Laur how

work has been deplorably inefficient. and

Nemy displayed his watch, which
he had wound up regularly through

fast and therefore the survivors count
ed only sixteen days from the time
of the explosion.

Mother Weeps When Son Is Arrested.
John Held Escapes From Deten-
tion Home and Will Not Appear
as Witness

Louis Reef is TO be tried before JUS
tice Austin today on an unusual
charge, that of furnishing liquor to
minors with the intent to make them
intoxicated.
If the story told by the police is true
the man committed depraved act
and Is liable to a stiff sentence.
1t Is alleged that he met John Held
and Frank Kellogg one night last week
and induced the boys to accompany
him in a stroll about the streets. He
purchased several bottles of liquor, and
stopping in alleyways coaxed the little
fellows to drink until they were in a
pitiful condition.
Both the lads were taken to the
police station dead drunk. After ar
raignment, Held was sent to the deten-
tion home and Kellogg released on a
suspended sentence.
One Boy Makes Escape
Held escaped from the detention
home Saturday afternoon. He is con-
sidered wild and rather unruly, but the
officers say that the influence of such
men as Reef has been the undoing of
the lad.
Kellogg comes Of an excellent family
and his mother was almost heartbroken
when she learned that her young son
had been arrested.
Reef claimed that he was trying to
take care of the boys, whom he found
in an Intoxicated condition, but the
police place no credence in this story.

COWBOY ARTIST
PAINTS INDIANS
CHARLES RUSSELL'S WORK SAID
TO EXCEL REMINGToN's
Admits That Mrs. Russell Greatly
Assists Him in Creating Original
Drawings and Making
Wax Figures

Charles Russell, the famous cowboy
artist, whose pictures have attracted
the attention of artists throughout the
United States, is a guest at the Hollen-
beck hotel. He is accompanied by his
wife. With him he has brought a few
of his finest works which are scenes
from an Indian story published re-
Gently.
There is stamp of individuality to
Mr.. RusselPs pictures that places them
on par with Remington's at once. Some
critics have even gone so far in eX-
pressing their praise of the cowboys
pictures to declare that they are even
finer in conception than Mr.. Reming-
toms.
Most of Mr.. Russells subjects are
from the life of the Indian on the
plains before the white man set foot
here and about the time of the discov-
cry of America. These ideas Mr.. Rus
sell gained through his life on the
plains of Montana where he punched
cattle for many years and was thrown
Also Writing for Magazines
Not only has he put his experience
into pictures but he is also writing
series of articles that will appear in a
leading magazine in the near future.
Inc stories as Iney appear Will De IL
lustrated by Mr.. Russell. The pub
Usher has also informed Mr.. Russell
that these stories are to be made into
book form after they have run in the
magazine.
A remarkable feature connected with
Mr.. Russell's work is that he has never
studied in any art school. His teacher
was nature and natural gift as an
artist He is now about forty years
old. At the age of fifteen he left his
home In st. Louis and went to Mon
tana, where he became a cowboy. His
artistic instinct Immediately saw the
opportunities offered him in the de-
velopment of his talents.
Today he still adheres to scenes from
his former life as subjects for his pic
lures.
Toured Mexico
Recently he and his wife toured
Mexico. They spent much of their time
in the widest regions and both declare
that Mexico is the field for the coming
artists. In no place in America can
such beautiful colorings be found as
in the wilds of Mexico, says Mr.. Rus
sell. To prove this he is preparing to
complete several paintings that he
started while on his recent visit to
that country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell live in Great
Falls, Mont, where they occupy an
ideal log cabin. This is fitted up in
simple but exceedingly attractive style.
In one end of it is Mr.. RusselPs studio,
where he prepares and finishes most
of his pictures.

WOMAN STEALS TO GRATlFY
LIKING FOR PRETTY DRESS
ACTORS LIFE PLAYS A DASHlNG
ROLE
Police Search Mrs. O'Brian's Room
and Find More Booty-Not the
First Time Prisoner Has Been
In Trouble

Detectives Zeigler and Ritch were
busy yesterday looking up the record of
Mrs. Grace O'Brian, alias Aldine Edle-
man, arrested Saturday night on a
charge of swindling local merchants
out of hundreds of dollars worth of
goods by means of fictitious checks.
Mrs. O'Brian is the wife of a vaude-
vile actor and has been in the police
tolls on several occasions before her
last alleged wrongdoing.
Detective Ziegler went to the woman s
room, 430 East Fourth street, yester-
day morning and found silk dress
which was identified as having been
obtained at Blackstone's dry goods
store on South Spring street
The police do not credit Mrs. O'Brian
with much ability as a professional
swindler, saying that she belongs
rather to class of women who run
great risks for the sake of obtaining
pretty clothes by dishonest means
She made things lively Saturday at a
number Of stores and purchased goods
in great quantities, paying for them in
checks signed either Mrs. Emma
Goetz" or MRS. ]. Borne"
Phone Helped Her
The names represented actual guests
at local hotel, and when she asked
the clerk at the store where she made
her purchases to verify the name on
the check the hotel people are said to
have unconsciously aided in the decep-
tion by stating over the telephone that
a woman of the name assumed by her
was stopping there.
Jacoby's, Blackstone's, Hamburger's
Vile de Paris and several other stores
are said to have been victimized during
thu day by the rather pretty young
blonde, who dressed very elegantly and
DRIVE about in handsomely appointed
carriage.
According to the police records, the
woman was arrested March %. 1902,
under the name of Aldine Edelman,
alias Mabel Otto, charged with steal
ing clothing from a woman rooming
on South Main street, and served
rinety days in Jail. The police
say that Mrs. O'Brian got into trouble
On another occasion by running off with
a handsome outfit, the property of a
girl who roomed in the same place, but
this charge was not pressed.
More work will be done today by the
detectives in connection with the affair
and a charge of passing fictitious
checks will probably be filed against
the woman, who is still in Jail without
bail
