LONG FIGHT FOR LIFE.
Plumber Rescued After Being Buried
in Sand % Hours.

New York. June 2S.-After fighting
against death for more than % hours
jeremiah Fisher, a plumber, was rescued
alive today from a sand pit at Tomp-
kinsville, Staten Island, in which he had
been imprisoned since yesterday fore
noon. Fisher Is in a pitiable condition
from exhaustion and may not survive.
Fisher was Working in an excavation
when a passing street car 1oosened the
ground and sent down an avalanche of
around his legs. holding him as in a
wise, and gradually rising until only his
head was visible.
For hours a large force of rescuers
worked with frantic haste in an effort to
save the imprisoned man. but the shift
ing sand surged back and renewed it's
grip upon the prisoner almost as fast
as they could remove it. When the
rescuers began to abandon hope of get
ting Fisher out alive, they reluctantly
dicament and the wife, mother and
brother were witnesses of the all night
fight for life that followed.
Hundreds Of persons flocked to the
scene and many OF them remained
throughout the night Two clergymen
who had been summoned awaited the
call to administer the last rites should
the task of the rescuers prove unavail-
ing. When daylight came the rescuers
had succeeded in uncovering the i'm
prisoned mans body as far down as
the hips. Then ropes were attached IN
der Fishers arms but the combined
strength Of 20 men failed even to move
the imprisoned man an inch. Fisher
then was unconscious and the ply
sicians who had been watching his con-
dition declared that there remained only
the faintest hope Of his surviving much
longer. The rescuers stuck to their task
however, and hours later when the last
obstacle was removed and the senseless
form of Fisher was drawn from the
sitting hole, a. spark of life still Iinger-
ed. His condition was extremely criti-
cal, but the physicians said that there
remained a chance that he might re-

MEMORY POOR
Issued Duplicate stock Which Starts
Costly Lawsuit.

Pittsburg. Kan, June 2s.-Because
c. J. Devlin's memory was not good
and he forgot that he had turned over
$24, 600 worth of stock in the Pitts
burg and Midway Coal and Mining
company to w and J. Lanyon, and
then secured duplicate stock to replace
that which he thought he had lost,
Arthur K. LanyOn and Alvin H Lam
yon, both of this city, may be liable
for $4,000 for the duplicate stock
which they issued as president and
secretary of the coal company.
The Central National bank, of To-
peka, which acquired the second is
sue of the stock, has found that there
is already outstanding the original
stock. 1t has, therefore, brought suit
in the Girard division of the Crawford
county district court against A K.
Pittsburg and Midway Coal and Min
ing company for $4,000, the amount
of the fictitious securities which the
Topeka bank claims to hold
According to the petition which has
been fled in the case, Mr.. Devlin be-
fore his death owned 240 shares in
the Pittsburg and Midway Coal and
Mining company, Of this city, valued
at $24, 900. He pledged this stock as
collateral for a debt due w. and j.
Lanyon, of Mineral Point, Wis, and
they are now the owners of the stock.
petition filed in court, Mr.. Devlin for
got that he had transferred the stock
to the canyons of Wisconsin, forgot
what he had done with the $24, 600
worth. Consequently he made affi-
davit that the stock had become lost
or destroyed, and in December, 1908,
it is alleged, A. K. Lanyon, as presi-
dent, and A. H. Lanyon, as secretary,
of the Pittsburg and Midway Coal and
Mining company, issued duplicate
stock to him. 1t is alleged, however,
that they failed to surrender the for
mert certificate of stock or specify on
the new issue that it was to take the
place of the lost stock.
Then came the tragic failure of Mr.
Devlin and the Central National bank
of Topeka was a heavy creditor. Mr..
Devlin surrendered, it is alleged, to the
Topeka bank 500 shares Of stock in the
Pittsburg and Midway Coal and Mining
company as part payment of the debt of
Afterwards the Topeka bank ascertain
ed that 240 of those shares were .ficti-
tious securities as the original stock
was IN the hands of other parties and
the paper they held was void, the origi-
nal issue being still in force.
The suit now brought demands that
the officials of the coal company re-
fund to the bank the s24. 900 paid for
fictitious securities with per cent
interest.
Topeka attorneys are representing the
Topeka banks interests in the suit.
Morris Cliggitt is the local attorney for
the defendants. The case promises to
be bitterly contested in the courts.

Thinks White sox VIII Yet Awake
From Their Trance.

Leavenworth, June 2S.-NIanager
Richard Cooley of the Topeka White
Sox is not discouraged though he is
somewhat down hearted over the poor
showing of his ball team.
Were having some hard luck
said he, such as is apt to come to any
team but We have to make the best of
it. Yesterdays game was ours all
the way through and we ought to
have held the lead but a little bobble
in the last inning and it was all over.
II do not contemplate making many
changes in the team. 1 have released
Merchon, the pitcher. and signed
Davis, late of Webb City, and am
going to get another pitcher. Cheney
won't join us for some time yet and I
fell down in an attempt to secure
Lindsay, a left handler with Pueblo.
while we have had hard luck the
real trouble is that we can't hit the
ball-the batting slump is something
awful. But we've got the hitters and
things will come all right. If the peo-
pleo will bear with US a while longer
we will strike our gait-this thing
can't last forever"

He Was Badly Burned Trying to Save
Life Of His Sister.

Chicago, June 2S.=In spite of the
efforts of 3-year-old Donald Jordan to
save her life from the flames which
enveloped her, Dorothy, his twin sis
ter. was fatally burned in the pres

mother, Mrs. Hubert Jordan, yester-
day.
The children were playing in the
yard of their home when box Of
matches they had taken from the
house became ignited and set fire to
the clothes Of little Dorothy.
Regardless Of his own danger, Don
aid rushed to his sisters aid. With
his bare hands he attempted to beat
out the flames. He failed in this, and
throwing the girl on the grass, he
tried with all his strength to roll her
over and over. His little hands were
cruelty burned, but he stuck to his
task till his mother arrived.
Mrs. Jordan seized her baby in her
arms and cast her into a tub of water.
The flames were extinguished, but too
late to save her life.

ROAD FOR STEVENS COUNTY.
Belief That Santa re VIII Extend the
EngIewood Branch.

Hutchinson, June 2S.-Stevens county
is to have railroad, according to J. A
Kelly, a ranchman living at Hugoton
who was in Hutchinson the other night.
Mr.. Kelly believes the road is to be
built by the Santa FHe people under the
name of some other organization.
It talked to the surveyors when they
came through our part Of the state. -
said Mr.. Kelly last night They had
run the line from Ration N M, as far
as Hooker. Okla, on the Rock Island
road. Another survey is to be made
which viii change a portion of the line
and will bring the road up through Nor
ton and Stevens county, Kansas, instead
Of Beaver county, Oklahoma.
This road VIII be a fine thing for our
country. It is something we need. Hugo
ton is twenty miles from the nearest
railroad point, at Hooker, Okla. and
thirty miles away from Liberal
Mr.. Kelly believes the Santa sFe means
to extend the Englewood branch of that
road. west from Englewood, to cross the
Rock Island at some point near Liberal.
This would tap country both east and
west of the Rock Island that is now
served conveniently by no road and
would open up new business for every
one
