Black Damp Increases and
Work is Abandoned in the
Mines.
NO ONE CAN ACCURATELY
ESTIMATE THE DEAD
Twelve Bodies Have Been Found,
Nine Have Been Identified-MOst

Rescuers Have Observation-Disclosures
Gus Gases Giving Much Trouble.

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. 21.-Con-
fusion attending the efforts of the
rescuers at the Darr Mine is appar-
emily on the increase and nobody can
now state that any degree of accu-
acy Just how many are killed and
how many are in the mine.
Black damp is increasing and the
rescue work has been abandoned till
this afternoon. Twelve bodies have
been found of which nine are identi-
fled.
Most of them, however, are stiH
hemmed in by heavy falls Of slate and
other roof formations a mile and a
half or more beyond the point to
which the rescuers have penetrated
UP to this time. Rescue work has
been halted. Al vast amount of brat
ticing must be done before it can pro-
ceed. The Tescuing parties, 1900 feet
from the main entrance have found
conditions such that TO avert an addi-
tional disaster precautionary work
must be done.
TIL poisonous gases must be forced
from the sections beyond and addi-
tional air and ventilation must be
provided for that section. To neglect
these precautions and proceed with
the explorations is to risk the life OF
every man Of the rescuing force. To
provide these safeguards will require
hours of time and it is not believed
the great areas of bodies will be
reached before tomorrow afternoon.
AS to the number Of victims, Cor
oner A. C. Wynn of Westmorland
county, said that after a careful in
vestigation he was satisfied the num-
ber would be between $50 and 100.

Goldfield, Dec. 21.-The sensation
created by President Roosevelts
summary withdrawal Of the troops
from the camp late yesterday was
heightened today when the federal
commission sent here from Washing
ton to investigate conditions was hur-
riedly recalled by the president.
The impression is general that the
recall came as the result Of Judge
Hilton's action yesterday, when the
judge telegraphed the president that
the miners were not getting a
square deal" by the investigators.
The commission had not completed
its work here. Charles P. Neill, one
of the commissioners. dropped the
remark, Things have been badly
bungled at this end"
Captain Cox. who represents Gov
ernor Sparks here, today states that
the governor will call martial law at
the first indication Of trouble.

NEW BUILDING
IS COMPLETED
THE EMPIRE ON WEBB
STREET READY FOR RENTERS
One OF the Best Improvements Added
to Pendleton This Year Is the Two
Story Structure on West Webb
Street Erected by Schwartz &
Greulich-Total Cost $4,000
Three Large Store Rooms on First
Floor and Large Number Rooms on
Second Story.

One Of the best improvements
made in Pendleton this season, the
new Empire building erected by
Schwartz & Greulich on West Webb
street, is now complete and ready for
occupancy.
The building is 50x1O0 feet in size,
two stories with basement and is
modern in all its equipment and APP
pointment. There are three large
store rooms with Easements on the
lower floor and on the second floor
is a room 50x9O which will either be
converted into living rooms or rented
in one room for lodge purposes, ac-
cording to the desires of renters. 1t
may also be cut up into single rooms
for lodging house.
Work has been in progress on the
building for the past six months and
it is now entirely complete, excepting
a small amount of painting to be done
on the inside. The building is of
brick with concrete floor in the base
ment, natural wood finish inside, good
plactering and up to date toilet and
sewer connections.
If the second story is converted in
to living rooms it will contain about
IL large rooms for light housekeeping
and If it is decided to make it into
lodging house, IS single rooms can be
made. Most of these would be in
side rooms and 1t would be an ideal
location for such business.
The total cost of the building has
been about $4,000 and it is one Of
the best Improvements added to Pen
dleton this season. Numerous in
quiries have been received by Messrs.
Schwartz & Greulich concerning the
new building and it is thought it will
be occupied within a short time.

Dan Doherty, the Lexington saloon
Keeper and a cousin OF the Doherty
brothers OF this county, shot and
killed Oscar Allen in Doherty's sa-
loon at ~ o'clock last night He
fired five shots direct at his Victims
body and killed him instantly. Doher-
ty is now in the county Jail at Hepp-
ner and will be charged with muir
der.
The story from Lexington is that
of another tragedy wrought by
pistol in the hands of a drunken
man. This morning news OF the af-
fair was 'phoned to District Attorney
Phelps by his deputy, Attorney Not
son, of Heppner, who has been at
Lexington investigating the crime.
In substance, the story is as follows:
Shortly before midnight Doherty
and a number OF others were gather
ed in the formers saloon and Doher-
ty was considerably under the influ-
.ence of liquor. At the time Allen
was asleep in a rear room and when
Doherty offered to treat the house,
Padherg, another lounger, went into
the room and awoke him. Allen then
came into the bar room and Joined
the party at the bar.
After they had finished drinking,
Doherty suggested that Allen should
buy "a round OF drinks and he did so.
Doherty then asked him to treat
again. but Allen refused. He was
then called CHEAP skate" by DOH
,erty, who is said to have repeatedly
asked Allen to again treat. AT each
refusal abuse was heaped upon him
by Doherty.
"Say that again and I'll hit you''
Allen is reported as having declared
D6herty then continued his taunts
md was finally struck by Allen,
though was not knocked down. Pull
ing a pistol from his pocket, Doherty
then opened fir and fired five shots
An emiick succession. How many
struck Allen is not known here, but
he was killed instantly.
At the time of the killing there
WINS IN the saloon aside from Doherty
and Allen, the bartender, Padberg'
another lounger named Porter ana
several men in the rear room whose
names are not known.
Murderer Known Here.
Dan Doherty, the slayer OF Allen'
is well known to many in Pendleton'
About two years ago he purchased
the Alta House, being backed IN tne
enterprise by his cousin, Barney
Doher1y. But he was not successfui
as a hotel keeper and soon gave 1t up
going back to the saloon business IN
lexington. He formerly ran a ranch
on Butter creek.
Whiskey His Downfall.
Those who know Doherty say that
his drinking is wholly responsible tor
his downfall When sober he Is OF a
likable disposition, but when drunk
is auarrelsome as was shown by MS
behavior last night. Little seems to
he known OF the man who was killed.
The killing of Allen is the second
brutal murder that has occurred IN
Morrow county recently and In each
case whiskey has been the prime
cause of OF the trouble. Webb NC
Caslin, who killed the butcher Kas-
pell, now asserts that ne was drunk
at the time and apparently Doherty's
chief excuse will be that he was un-
balanced from drinking, though un-
der the statutes of Oregon drunken
ness is no defense.
