VINCENT ST. JOHN
IS IN BAD SHAPE

SALT LAKE, Dec. 12.-Vincent St
John, the Gold6eld labor leader,
passed through Salt Lake yesterday
afternoon on the Los Angeles limited
on his way to Denver, where he will
be taken to hospital to be treated
for blood poisoning, resulting from
bullet wounds Inflicted by Paddy
Mullaney, another member of the
Goldfield Miners Union ST. John
and his wife occupied drawing room
A of the car Placidia The injured
man was confined to his berth. His
wife declined to let anyone see him.
Recent reports from Goldfield have
been to the effect that st. John was
recovering and that he would soon be
able to lead the miners in the present
difficulty. 1t develops, however, that
st. John was more seriously injured
than was believed Blood poisoning
resulted from his wounds and he may
be forced to have his arm amputated.
His trip to Denver is said to be
merely ON account of his condition,
and is not for the purpose of con-
sulting with officials of the Western
Federation of Miners with reference
to the present trouble in Goldfield.
The shooting in which ST. John
was seriously wounded occurred or
November B. St. John was walking
down the street in Goldfield with Pat
Tenant, another labor leader, wher
Paddy Mullaney drew gun and fired
six shots at st. John. Two of the
bullets struck st. John and another
struck Tenant, st. John was sho
in the hand and the forearm ana

ten TONS OF ORE
WORTH $4,000

Thomas Kearns, who is working a
rich lease on the Balloon property at
Rawhide, arrived yesterday for the
purpose of having a conference with
mis- partners. On his block of ground
high grade has been opened in four
places. The ledge from which it is
taken is thirty-five feet wide and the
high garde seams are scattered all
through it. Only a few small shin
ments have been made from the
lease. One Of 1900 pounds brought
$1,000, and three sacks, $500 each.
Kearns said yesterday: These little
shipments we marketed were in the
nature of mill runs. There is now
piled up at least ten tons of ore
that will run at the rate of dollar
pound. Our deepest shaft is fifty
feet, and the showing in the bottom
is better than it was on the surface.

800 MEN ENTosIBED.
Terrible Disaster I'm Coal Mine on
Monongahcla River.

Pittsburg, Dec. ga terrific and
disastrous explosion occurred in
mines number 6 and of the Consol-
idated Coal Co., of Monongahela,
w. Va. A long distance telephone
message to the Associated Press says
that the bodies Of three hundred mi
ners have been recovered near the
mouth OF mine No. 6. Superintend-
ent Malone, of the mines, says that
there are at least five hundred men
eutombed.
Mine No. g is located on the east
side of the Monongahela river and
Mine No. 8 on the west side.
How the explosion occurred stimuli
taneously In both mines cannot be
explained at this time. All is con-
fusion at the scene Of the disaster,
and definite Information Is meagre.
The explosion was heard for dist
ance of eight miles. 1t is believed
that a majority Of the entombed men
were killed.
1t Is feared that the accident will
turn out to bo the worst in the his
tory Of mining In this country. Su-
perintendent Malone telephones that
500 men were in the mine at the
time and miners do not think any
could escape alive. Fans were start
ed at noon to clear out the foul air
and the rescuers may be, expected to
reach the men this afternoon.
The very earth seemed to be rent
at the moment of the shock. Some
idea of the force of the explosion
may be gained from the fact that
props from the mine were not only
blown out Of the entry, but were
hurled by the force Of it clear across
the west fork of the McIongahela
river The wires are down, which
is the reason for the details Of the
explosion being unobtainable. -. .
1t Is now said that the rescuers
will reach the imprisoned men by
o'clock. Several men were practi-
cally blown out of mine No.
through an air hole. Their escape
was miraculous. The best estimate
Is 400 men in the mines.

WAS NOT A SUICIDE
Moran, Kansas, Physicians Testify
That They Believe Miss May
Sapp Was Murdered.

Moran, Kas., Oct 9.-Dr. A. T.. De
Long, physician of the town, who
examined the body of Miss May Sapp
a few minutes after it was found IN
the back yard OF her fathers home
with the throat severed, was the
chief witness upon the stand at the
morning session Of the coroner's jury.
DR. De Long testified that in his
opinion the case was not one Of
suicide.
Later in the day DIR. G. B. Lambeth
testified that he believed it physical
impossibility for Miss Sapp to have
committed suicide.
The coroner's jury met yesterday in
lola, where Samuel f. Whitlow, the
Moran grain and coal dealer, told his
remarkable tale of the girls infatu-
alton for him and her suicide at his
side when he refused to elope with
her.
DIR. De Long testified today that he
had made close examination Of the
body before it had been moved from
its original position. Ee stated that
the dead girl was lying upon her back.
This, he said, did not indicate suicide
as she probably would have fallen for
ward upon her face. He said that the
cuts in her throat were too deep and
too long to indicate self-destruction
and that the fact that there were tw
cuts indicated murder, as the tender.
cy Of the person who kills himself by
cutting his throat is to cut once and
then scream
DR.. De Long pointed out that the
cuts plainly showed that the girls
head was down when her throat was
cut, which would indicate other than
suicide.
Mrs. Samuel Il. Whitlow, the wife
Of the man who told the coroner's
jury yesterday that May Sapp killed
herself because of her infatuation for
him, is still prostrated at her home

Guthrie, Ok, Oct. 10 'Oklahoma

nor Frantz yesterday on his return
from his trip down the Mississippi

eveIt. the governors of different
states and representatives Of the COM
mercial organizations of the Mississip-
pl valley.
II see nothing in sight by which
statehood can be sidetracked" +" con-
tinued Governor Frantz. "Of course
something new may arise, but it HIS
not arisen and l do not expect to see
it. The question of whether or not
the constitution is republican in form
and agrees with the requirements of
the enabling act has been under con-
sideration in Washington for weeks.
/ do not believe it has been found that
any of the conditions imposed have
been violated"
The transformation Of the Mississip-
pi river and the Missouri river as far
as Kansas City, into an inland coast
line, with all the commercial advant-
ages accruing from coast rates, was as
sured, according to Governor Frantz.
He gave much Of his time presenting
the claims of the Arkansas. He has
no doubt that the Arkansas could be
made navigable to Fort Gibson, /. T.,
for light draft boats and that. the
opening Of this water way to traffic
would be Of incalculable benefit in de
The resources Of the new state
