Delay is Disappointing.

Bakersfield Dec. 21.-Still there
has been no rescue of L. B. Hicks, and
stin the wonder grows of his remark
able vitality and win power. This
morning a report was circulated the
miner was released, but at II a. m.
the rescue party was still hard at
work.
Conflicting reports come down
from the mountain-now rescue is
imminent, the next hour his release
is indefinite. Hicks himself seems
confident of early release.
Failure to complete the rescue is
keenly felt in Bakersfield, and on the
streets, in homes and at business
houses everything Is laid aside for
discussion of the work on the noun
tain. Great preparations were made
last night to celebrate the effecting
of rescue by whistles and firing OF
cannons, enthusiastic men sleeping
beside sound-producing instruments.
The newspaper offices are swamped
with queries as to the progress of the
rescue work and hundreds of queries
are pouring into the city.

MARSHALL FIELD
YIELDS TO DEATH
End Came Peacefully to Chicago
Merchant Primes.

almost constant attendance for several
days-Were gathered around the death
bed.
They, as well as the dying merchant
himself, were prepared for the end
For days rhey had been swayed be
tween nope and fear. Those who were
present when the merchant died were
Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs. Marshall
Field, Jr., Augustus N. Eddy, Gather
inc Eddy, Mrs. Henry Dibblee, Robert
T. Lincoln and Mrs. Preston Gibson.
Mr.. Fields illness developed about
week ago, while he and Mrs. Field
were ON their way from Chicago TO this
city. He was travelling on the Penn
