Tragedy at the Asylum.

At an early hour last Thursday
morning Thos. IL. Dobson, chief
cook at the Blackfoot insane asylum,
was killed by Geo. Byers, an insane
patient of the institution. Dobson
was mixing dough at table in the
kitchen, when Byers suddenly as
saulted him with a shovel. The
blow stunned Dobson and he fell to
the floor, whereupon Byers proceed
ed to hammer his head into pulp.
The crime was first discovered by
f. G. Ramsey, the night Waterman
who entered the kitchen about {
o'clock and found Byers pacing ~
and down the room. When ht
asked Byers who had killed Dobson
the insane man replied II did
Byers was committed to the asy
lum from Moscow about four years
ago. For some time past he ha
been ''trusty" at the institution
and ASSESSED with the work in tn
kitchen.

Feb. 12, was received at this Office too
late for publication last week:
Dingle. Feb. u, 1907.
EDITOR EXAMINER thought as you
requested people from different settle

place in Dingle today.
1t was an enjoyable affair. The peo-
pie met in the Latter Day Saints church,
which was nicely decorated for the oc-
casion. There was fine program, con-
sisting Of speeches, poems, singing, etc.,
after which the people sat down to a
fine supper. The tables were loaded
down with eatables OF all kinds After
everyone had eaten all that they desired
the tables were cleared and dance
given. Tie old folks felt young again
and tripped the light fantastic tue until
the wee hours of the morning. after
which they returned to their homes
fully satisfied with the enjoyable tlms
given in their honor by the young PEG
pie of Dingle.
Mr.. and Mrs, Alfred Sparks were pre-

honor of their being the Oldest married
couple present. they having beer
married over fifty years.
Frank Clark and Herman Boot
favored the company with several comb

UINTA COUNTY COAL FIELDS.
Government Issues Bulletin Telling
Of Investigation Made In West
ern Wyoming.

The following bulletin relating to the
great coal fields of Uinta county, Wyo.,
has Just been issued by the United
States geological survey:
That the coal fields in northern Uinta
county, Wyoming, will some day rank
among the most important in the state
is almost q certainty. At present these
Goals are scarcely known north of KEN
msrer, Wyoming, and are but little de-
veloped. In q few localities enough
coal Is taken from shallow pits to supply
the ranges in the immediate vicinity.
Outside Of tue local mining, no develop
ment work is carried on within the re-
gion. At present, Utah mines, Rock
Springs. Wyoming, mines. and the
mines in southern Uinta county Wyo
ming. supply coal to Idaho, Montana,
Oregon. Washington and California,
while much of their coal and coke goes
to the great smelters in the Salt Lake
valley, to Anaconda and to Butte. The
coal nearest to Butte is at Kemmerer,
Diamondville and Cumberland, in
southern Uinta county. Wyo.

thirty to fifty degrees to the west until
at Deadman's creek the coal bearing |
formation broadens and occupies two
synclinal tronghs that extend north
ward to the Snake river and are sep
arated by a low anticlinal arch, the
crest Of which is composed Of Jnrassic
beds.
Sonth of the fault good coal seams
were encountered on both arms of the
synclinal trough, but north, only few
coal groupings were seen owing to the
heavy talus covering along the east
slope to the Salt river range and TO the
heavy growth of timber that prevails in
this region.
Coal-bearing rocks of the same geo
logic age as those aboye mentioned oc-
cur along the east side of the Wyoming
range, and have been traced to the
Snake river. Several coal seams rang
ing in thickness from two to twenty
feet were encountered and at least onr
distinct coal horizons located within the
Frontier formation. Here, as in the
cosl beds east Of the Salt river range,
the work of prospecting for coal was
greatly handicapped by the heavy
growth of timber and limited exposures
of rocks.
The coal-bearing formation in the
vicinity of Labarge mountains is of the
same geologic age as the Adaville and
Lazeart Goals west of Kemmerer, Wyo-
ming. Several coal seams have been
opened in various parts of this field and
coal is mined for local ranch use. The
coal resembles the AdaYille and Lazeart
, coal in luster and cleanliness, and like
J them has high percentage OF moisture
The coal-bearing formation that oc
ours in the Fall River Basin just east 0
the range that connects the Wyoming
3 range and Gros Ven ira Mountains, is o
! the same age as the formation whicl
8 contains the Almy Goals near Evanston

0 Goals and very little prospecting, owinI
: to the heavy growth Of timber, severa
: coal seams were located in various part
. of the field during the past summer
and some of these indicate good grad
of coal.
In spite of the small amount Of d.
velopment work that has been done !
70 the entire field and the heavy growth {
10 timber that conceals the coal outcro
u from view, considerable number {
Is coal beds ranging from few inches

the coal formation was not mapp
north and west of the Snake river, IL
believed that the coal horizons extel
to the northwest for a considerab'e d
lance and probably cross the Wyomil
state line north of Teton Pass.

the bottom as if the i'm
mense weight of the whole
structure had crushed the
end into an inverted mush-
room. The top also spread a
little, and did not apparently
enter with any angularity
into the mass above. That
the cloud mass was vapor, is
more than likely; but it was
just as solid looking and
black as the cylindrical body
of the pillar itself.
The sea about the foot of
the column was torn into
foam. 1t was white as snow,
and the tops of the waves
seemed to be dashed by some
unseen power which caused
them to appear to squirt into
the air as in a sudden heavy
blow. The shadow of the
monster was dark upon the
sea, and the dim half light
caused by the sun breaking
here and there through the
heavy vapor above gave the
whole scene a most uncanny
appearance. The surround
ing surface was as calm and
peaceful as we had ever seen
it. Nothing but the gentlest
intimation of a swell heaved
up from the southwark. The
barometer had not changed
at all, and at no time did it
register a rise or fall.

Fixing Up the Wreck
WE gathered up the remains of the jb which
w we found overheard still on the stay fast to
the wreck of the bowsprit. The staysail had been
ripped off clean and was entirely missing; we bent
the jb upon the forestry and hoisted the wreck of
again, and shortly afterward breeze set in from
for the Fowey Rocks lighthouse and were glad
to raise it's welcome geam by midnight. Then
ran in behind the end of the reef and made way
to Miami for repairs.

Neither of us could be certain of the spiral motion
which is said to be the characteristic of the water
spout, and even while close upon the
monster failed to note anything like whirlwind
The almost absolute silence and mighty power
seemed to come from other cause, at least not
wind entirely; for there was wind at anytime that
we could notice. Neither there any spiral
motion or twisting of the mass though whirling
although, of course, it might have been whirling
SO fast as to make the motion indiscernible. We
rather inclined to believe that there some
electrical phenomena connected with the column

it seemed to be beyond winds power.

then deepening whispering which grew into low
roar. The wall of the pillar close alongside of

poured down through the cracks of the cabin doors
and great squirt struck me full in the face. Mac
was calling to me loudly from somewhere in the
darkness. Then my head brought up against
something which made the stars fly before my
eyes, grabbed hold and hung on.
During all the time this was taking place was
indistnct1y aware of peculiar noise of mighty
volume, though low, like the rushing of great
wind and washing of the sea. Suddenly. with a
careening fling which almost tore my grip loose,
the sloop rghted and fash of daylight appeared.

In the Sunlight Again

TLOSE alongside of us stood the mighty pillar, but
~ moving away steadily and noiselessly as though
propelled by some unseen motive power acting
through its whole length. We had evidently been
directly in its path, and had either been whr1ed up,
lifted bodily into the mass, had been flung aside.
The feeling though something almost human,
something with sort of intelligence. had stalked
into and hurled us out of the way. The great
spout seemed almost to stand still for time, and
