Mohave County miner., 1907-12-14

Miss Louise Motheral, of Chicago,
 arrived in Kingman the first of the
 week and will remain with her sister i for the winter.
 ,, John Barry, wife and little son came | in from Los Angeles last Wednesday and departed the following day to | Chloride. where MT. Barry has cattle
 and mining interests.
 Last Saturday night William Hoff-
 man was caved on in the drift of the
 Copperville mine, twenty-five miles
 east of Yucca, and seriously injured. He and brother were at work cleaning
 up for the night when the cave came
 unexpectedly from the roof. The
 ground was soft or he would have been
 killed. As it was he was buried to depth of three feet, the weight of earth carrying him to the floor of the drift. His brother was close to the
 breast of the drift and was only caught ny pot tioh VI 'hS So'ihS Siouho
 He went to work at once and soon had tue injured man uncovered. He had a bad scalp wound, back badly WI enched and was bruised all over. A n essen- ger was sent to Yucca and Leonard Hoffman notified. He left here with Dr. Cowie early Sunday morning aLd arrived at the mine late in the after noon. The injuries of the man were attended to and it is thought he will soon be at work again.
 E. Ogden, one of the old timers of the county, was Wednesday last brought before the Probate Court of this county and commission of phy- sicians, and committed to the asylum for the insane at Phenix. Thursday last Deputy Sheriff A. F. Harris took the unfortunate man to that institu- tion. It will be remembered that nearly two years ago Og6en shot to death Thomas Lake as the result of a quarrel, and that the iur., acquitted him on the plea of insanity. Ogden has not been in his right mind for many years, but it was thought that he was harmless until the killing of Lake occurred, since when many pe)- pie have become convinced that if he was not incarcerated in some institu- tition he would sooner or later kill | soTe person who had incurred his i'll will.
 Another prisoner has made his es- cape from the county Jail. Yesterday evening the prisoner, had been let into the corridor to eat their evening meal, and while deputy sheriff Gideon was attending to other duties, which took him away from the jail for few minutes, Pat Drummy, who was re- gently bound over for burglarizing the Hotel Beale, made his escape through one of the barred windows and when the officer returned no trace of the man could be found. The windo" are barred with iron rods, set in a wooden frame, and these bars were 50 loose from the shrinking of the wood i that the man readily showed them out of the way and climbed through. A systematic search is being made fer the man and it is probable that he will be captured. This is the fourth man that has gotten away from this d d9lapidate old shack, and unless the p ace is constantly guarded by night and day there is no possibility of keep ing crook confined in it. And, aside from its inadaptability for the contine- ment of prisoners, it is an absolute crime to commit human being to it. Should fire break out in the old building surrounding the two cells, it would be an impossiblity to save any person confined therein. We hope that this winter will see the last of this old hulk, and that new freproof structure will take its place.
