led
Late at night. according to PARROT,
the woman took him to a deserted
cabin on Nine Mile creek and leading
him within, pointed to a corner and
orderen him to dig.

Parrott dug a hole several feet deep.
but without finding the treasure he
sought. On turning around, his story
goes, he found himself confronted by
a revolver in the hand of the woman,
who informed him that he had been
digging his own grave. Here there Is
a hiatus in the chain of events and
the public is not informed how Par
rott managed to escape the doom pre-
pared for him. However, he did es-
cape. and proceeded to file an informa-
ton of insanity against the woman
and then, as the chief witness, detail
ed the story outlined here. Mrs. Fer
guson denied the story in every par
ticular and made a counter charge
against Parrott She was not held on
the insanity complaint.
On the 18th of February, 1905, Par
rott had the woman arrested on
charge of assault with a deadly wea-
pon. basing his charge on her alleged
attempt on his life in the deserted
cabin on Nine Mile creek. From Feb
ruary II to February Is, the woman
was confined in the county Jail, but
on the last-named date she was given
a preliminary hearing and was dis
charged. She alleges in her complaint
in the present suit that she was a
comparative stranger in town at that
time and was without funds to en-
ploy an attorney and that she was
subjected to much humiliation and
great mental anguish by the stories
printed in the newspapers about her.
For these prosecutions, which she
charges We're based on malice, and for
the damage to her reputation alleged
to have been sustained by the false
IMPRISONMENT. she now demands that

EMERGED LIKE SKELETONS.
Frenchn1en Entombed in Mine Were
Near CannibaIism.

LENS, France, April 5.-The story
of the survivors who yesterday sud-
denly appeared, having escaped alive
from Courrieres coal mine after twen-
ty-five days of entombment. discloses
that they lived for many days on
putrid horse meat amid total dark
ness and in the stencil from scores of
decaying corpses. The presence of
human flesh would speedily have fore
ed the starving men to resort to the
last desperate extremity if they had
not been rescued.
The survivors We're sturdy young
miners from II to % years of age,
except their leader, Henri Nemy, who
is SO years old. All show the terrible
effects of their experience, being ema-
ciated, exhausted and nearly blinded.
Their rescue caused a temporary merry
Gus lucidity during which they greeted
their relatives and graphically related
their sufferings. The doctors then en-
forced quiet upon them, fearing the re-
suits of fever and poisoning from
their diet of decayed horse flesh.
Touching Scenes.
There We're touching scenes as wives
and mothers greeted those whom they
had long given up as dead. Crowds
besieged the hospitals to which the
men We're taken, cheering the survivors
and imprecating the ineffective SAL
wage work that followed the disaster
The rescue of these men revived the
hope that others are alive, and the rel
atives of those whose bodies have not
been recovered DANGEROUSLY demand
ed that efforts be redoubled to bring
out any possible survivors.
There is a report that there We're
bottom of the pit yesterday, but We're
unable to continue on account of eX-
haustion.
The total number of men missing
after the catastrophe was 1912. The
bodies recovered numbered approx
mately 500. The others are still I'M
accounted for
To Explain Away Failure.
The engineers explain that smolder-
ing fires prevented them from explor-
ing remote passages of the mine,
where it is thought that there could
be no survivors. The mine owners
also claim that the strike reduced the
number of available rescuers.
Many engineers and scientists
agreed that all in the mine must have
died long ago. Engineer Laur, how
ever, dissents, asserting that the salv-
age work has been deplorably defic-
lent, and he believes that scores died
If exhaustion, owing to the poor work
If the salvage companies.
The families of the miners are in
tensely indignant. They claim that
salvage operations We're never under
taken in the part of the mine from
which Nemy and his companions
escaped and disorders are expected
The most severe repressive measures
nave been taken.
Crowds of women denounced the di-
ectors and engineers, crying: IF you
lad given us tools We would have
saved our own husbands"

Of an Employee.


Davenport, Dec. 29.--Walter Peter
son, administrator of the estate Of
John H. Gadient, has brought suit for
$4,000 against A. (Brick Munro ana
Charles Lienhardt, charging them with
negligence in causing the death of
John H. Gadient, on May 2, 1906, at
Mr.. Munro's place of business on the
southwest corner Of Rock Island and
Second street.
The death of John Gadient was due
to electrocution. He went to the cell
lar of the saloon to operate beer
pump. The cellar was flooded with
water and was dark. The young
man, while standing in the water.
reached up and turned on the electric
light. AS he did so he received a
shock of electricity that caused his
death.
The petition filed today claims that
the defendants were negligent In that
thew allowed the water to accumulate
in the cellar and that the drop cord
from which the light was suspended
was of inferior quality and the insula-
ton was gone. It is also claimed
that the defendants were negligent in
using a brass electric light socket IN
the cellar when the city ordinance
calls for a porcelain socket. Chamoer-
lin and Peterson are attorneys Tor
the estate.

boy riding on load of brushwood,
having wagon seat fastened on it,
driving over the road sweeping the
loose particles of dirt into the ruts.
"Father agreed to give me the mon

And from the looks Of the road, the
father could certainly afford it.
