Shelter Breaks His Wrist.

As the result of not being a good judge of distances, E. A. Shelfer, the affable cashier of the Bessemer State bank, is suffering from a fractured wrist and 1t will be some time before he recoyers from 1t.
 He was sitting on his porch last even- Ing trying to get the effects of a breeze that would not blow He got too near the edge of the porch and off he went The only thing to stop him was the hard ground, and when he reached there he stopped with quite a thud.
 It was at first thought that he was badly hurt, but after an examination the attending physician stated that he did not believe there were any other injuries than the fractured wrist.

SHELTER BREAKS WRIST

Bessemer. August 26.-(Speeiak)-sl mines was the scene of the injury of six men during the day. Four of these sus- tained only minor injuries, but there were two that are quite serious if not fatal Two colored miners, Ike Lee and How ard Dalton. happened to get in the way of an explosion, which occurred between slopes Nos. 1 and ?.
 These two men were drilling from No. 1 and preparing to make shot, and did not realize that they were so close to the men in No. ? that were also making a drill. Soundings had been made all along the way. but in some unaccount- able way the signals mscarried.
 The wounded men were hurried to Rob inson and Hanbys ingrmary, where their injuries were dressed The other four men that were hurt had their injuries dressed at the mines and were able to be taken to their homes. All those that were burt today are expert miners, and it appears to have been a case of negli- genee in most cases.
 Dr. Hanby of the mine hospital serv- ice stated that the four negroes that were hurt and sent to their homes are in no danger whatever, and it will only be a matter of a few days ere they will. be out and able to go back to work. While the injuries of Lee and Dalton are quite serious, Lee having been struck in the head, and Dalton in the body, it is not thought that they are necessarily fatal.

SWELL ELEGANT JONES.

Quaint comedy, keen repartce.
home-spun philosophy and unique
observations permeate the lines of the
rural comedy, Swell Elegant JONES'"
i'll which Ezra Kendall will be seen
at the Salt Lake theatre next Tues
day and Wednesday evenings and
Wednesday matinee.
When Herbert Hall Winslow, au-
thor of the previous Kendall success,
The Vinegar Buyer" wrote Swell
Elegant Jones" he kept one aim fore
most-to provide play of the typical
Kendall sort. He has succeeded in
combining humorous character studies
and an interesting, coherent story,
which has its setting in a small In
diana village, Martinsville, near In
dianapolis.
Swell Elegant JONES'" being pro-
duced under the direction of Harry
Askin & Co., affords a congenial part
for Mr.. Kendall as he has been given

monologue to eight-cornered re-
partee. He has maintained rapid
fire delivery, Which marked many of
his monologues and the action of the
piece is strangely rapid for such
slow community.
The staging of the company has
been done by John Stapleton, who
was responsible for "The Heir to
The Hoorah' and "The Virginian"
productions when he was member
of the Kirke LaShelle forces. These
two pieces were marked by their
"atmos sphere" and Mr.. Stapleton has
been as successful in wrapping rural
ism around Swell Elegant Jones" as
lie was in giving the air of the plains
to "The Heir to the Hoorah" and
"The Virginian." Mr.. Stapleton also
has devoted attention to the proper
delineation of the characters and the
result has been that a sharp contrast
has been preserved.
