A BROKEN WIRE
DOES DAMAGE,
A Bell Telephone Lineman
Was Very Badly
Burned.

On Saturday morning, while Mr.. F.
b. Dodd, of Calhoun, an employe of the
Southern Bell Telephone Company, was
at work, strapped to pole high up, g
Wire broke and fell across the trolley
wire. This connection shot about 220O
volts into the telephone wire which Mr..
Dodd was handling, resulting in tis
being badly burned on both arms, hands
and fingers; in some places on the fin
gers, the burns went to the bone If he
had not been strapped to the pole, he
would have fallen to the ground and
been killed. The burning of the
wire in twain broke the current
and saved Mr.. Dodd from further
injury. He had nineteen burns on his
arms and fingers. he was carried to
DR., G. T. Nolsn's Office where his
wounds were dressed.
The other end of the wire fell to the
ground and struck two mules hitched
to a wagon loaded with wood, owned
by Mr.. Frank Burt, which caused the
mules to run away. In front of the
court house they struck passing de-
livery wagon, owned by Mr.. NJ. r. Lyon,
which acted as brake to the mules
and stopped their flight, but not, how
ever, until the delivery wagon was
wrecked. Amule belonging to Richard
Benjamin, colored, was also struck by
the live wire and knocked down, burn
ing his leg in one place.
About 140 Bell phones were put out
of use, tut Mr.. q. R .McClatchey. man.
ager here, had a force of men put to
work and they are all now about in use
again.
There ought to be some protection
against these accidents. There is too
much voltage coming into town on the
trolley wires. The amount should be
lessened.

has wrongfully entered upon and taxi

possession thereof and claims the
right adversely to the plaintiff to hold
and occupy the same, denying the
plaintiffs right and title thereto.
The plaintiff asks Judgment for
title to the property and that the de-
PENDANT company be enjoined from
interfering in the formers alleged
possessions. Costs of suit and attor-
neys' fees are also asked for. s. ID.
Crump represents the plaintiff.

GREEK SAYS
AUSTRIAN STOLE
HIS TROUSERS

When Greek meets Greek" etc,
is an old saying that is often heard,
so it is evident that there will be
something doing today when Greek
meets Austrian. A. Darracca, an
Austrian employed at the Giroux
Consolidated has been arrested on a
charge of petty larceny in that he
is said to have stolen $50 and pair
of trousers belonging to There's Pou-
lekedas.
The Greek was celebrating the
Fourth when his pants and money
were stolen. The Austrian was his
roommate and when he returned to
his cabin his property was missing
He did not think ms partner had taxi
Ell the clothing and money until a
day or so ago when he ascertained
that Derracca had hidden the trous-
ers in a trunk.
Justice Cartwright will hear the
case this afternoon at O'Clock. The
defendant is out on $50 bail. The
peculiar phase of the case is that
neither speaks English and there will
have to be two interpreters to hear
the evidence.

THE KENTUCKY
SALOON WRECKED
BY THREE men

According to information brought
to Ely yesterday three men attempted
to shoot up Tom Odalovich's place
at Reipe town Thursday night. 1t is
reported that the trio had filled up
on too much booze until they became
quite boisterous and attempted to
wreck the Kentucky saloon. They
shot number of times through the
sign in front of the resort and then
kicked the door to pieces and pro-
ceeded- to smash the furniture. A
table and other pieces of furniture in
the barroom were broken and havoc
was raised generally.
The bartender wanted to take a
shot at the three men but Odaloyich
prevented him from doing SO. The
matter has been reported to the Of
ficers and Attorney Zurich has been
engaged by Mr. Odalovich to look af-
ter his interests.

STRUCK ORE THAT
ASSAYS HIGH AS $:s, 800

At depth of ninety-two feet the
Peerless Mining company have two
feet of ore that assays $3.50 per ton
in silver and So in gold. On the
hanging wall there is eight inches of
ore that assays $4,000 per ton in sill
yer and SO in gold. Assays made in
Austin and San Francisco show the
same results within few dollars.
The Peerless cOmpany's claims.
three in number, are located on Mi
das fat. two miles northwest of Aus
tin. The claims were located in
1865. In 1871 the company secured
a United States mineral patent and
work on the property ceased. On
each of the claims an incline was
sunk, one to depth of sixty feet, the
second twenty feet and the third
twelve feet.
This spring e. G. Ellinwood, a
member of the company, arrived in
Austin for the purpose OF COM
mencing work. He put two men at
work on the sixty-foot incline, and at
seventy feet was taking out some
very rich ore, but the ledge was
broken up. At ninety-two feet the
ledge was solid and gave the above
returns. The incline has reached the
1OO-foot point, and the rich streak
had widened out. to ten inches, but
owing to the water coming in work
has been suspended awaiting the ar
rival of a hosting plant from San
Francisco, which has been ordered.
AS soon as the hoist is in place, sink
ing will be resumed and the ledge
will be drifted on each way and the
rich ore taken out for shipment.
There are number of good claims
on Midas fiat, and the workings of
the Peerless company are the deep
est, the section being in virgin
ground.
The strike on the Peerless has put
new life in that section, and owners
of other properties are making ar
rangements to commence work at
once.
The Peerless company is incorpo-
rated under the laws of New York,
and the offices of the company are in
New York City. Delano Smith is
president, b. #. Carpenter treasurer
and q. w. Austin secretary.

LITTLE SYMPATHY IN LONDON
FOR, DEPOSED EMPEROR.

LONDON, July 19.-Scarcely a
word of sympathy is uttered by the
morning papers for the deposed en-
peror of Korea who is regarded as
having brought his fate upon himself
by futile intriguing against the Jap
anese and as the Daily Graphic hui
morously remarks, "by having taken
The Hague conference too seriously"
The opinion is that the abdication
of vi Heui is the best thing that
could happen for Korea.
The Daily Telegraph says:
after all, Korea, by the very cir
cumstance of her geographical posi-
ton, was foredoomed to be a spoil
of war, and the complete Japaniza-
ton of Korea can only be matter
of time provided the verdict of the
last war remains unaltered."
According to Shanghai dispatch,
vi Heui had arranged to fly to the
protection of the Russian consulate,
but was circumvented by the precau-
tons taken by the Japanese.

The numerous kinds of west OF

you that besides "the middle west"
