Three men were injured at the
Wolf Park coal. mine. i've miles south
of town. Sunday afternoon in conse-
quence OF an accident to the cage

some miners working on one of the
veins about 100 feet from the bottom
of the mine.
They exploded shot which in some
manner, shivered the guide which
holds the cage in place. This fact was
unknown to the engineer on the sur
face and when the cage reached the
i'll fated point it was stopped for .
few seconds In its descent. causing the
rope to which it was attached to ac-
cumulate about Is feet Of slack. Sud-
denly the cage loosened itself and
dropped towards the bottom of the
shaft with lightning like rapidity. Hap
PLY, the cable did not break and the
cage was brought to an abrupt stop,
which almost threw the men out
The casualties were as follows:
Joseph Birchell, age So. sprained
back and contusions on the right arm
and left knee.
Mat Raurmcek, aged 80. fracture of
one bone in the lower part Of right
leg and bruises
Anton Golup. aged 80. right foot
bruised and crushed.
The men were brought here and a
physician summoned to dress their
injuries. The Wolf Park mine Is own
ed by Littell Bros, of Colorado

The community has been greatly
agitated the last few days In relation
to the attitude of the city council to-
wards the Elks club and at the meet
ing of the latter body last night 1t
attracted quite as much OF public at
tention as the opening OF bids for the
proposed new water system. At a
meeting OF the city council Monday
night a resolution was adopted by
I'VE OF its members authorizing com
p,ittee consisting Of Aldermen G. c.
Lamb, E. F. Jewett, C. E. Reeves, d.
n Garrett and E. c. Hiatt to endeavor
To make some arrangement with the
EIks club looking to disposition OF
all cases now pending. except the one
in the supreme court. and to dis
continuance OF the dispensing OF IL
ouors by the club until a decision has
been handed down in the case now
in the supreme court Fearing that
possibly a compromise In the matter
was contemplated petitions were cir
culated on the streets yesterday af-
ternoon and at the various prayer
meetings last night with the follow
ing preamble;
We. the undersigned citizens OF
Canon City wish to express our ap-
proval OF the action OF the city
AGAINST the Eiks club and further
would respectfully petition your hon
orabIe body not to compromise In the
settlement of the cases now pending
IN the courts, or make any conces-
sAous that will not require immediate
and perpetual obedience 10 the ordi-
nancss OF the city In reference to the
dispensing OF intoxicating liquors."
The petitions were circulated be-
fore the public at large was aware OF
fhc committees Intention, or OF the
basis upon which I, proposed to set
tie the vexing problem that had ari-
