opinion that after being sentenced should
an effort be made to commute his SEN

Increase of More
 Than IOOmSchool
 Census Ouer 1907

Something of the prosperity existing in the Globe district is reflected in the incomplete returns of the school census takers throughout the county now be- ing made to W.NO. Kellner, superin- tendent of public instruction.
 Last night returns had been received from all the district save five, Rim Rock, Kline, Bellvue, Pine and San Car los being tardy. With the five districts named still to hear from, total of l734 children of school age has been reported, against total ofl762 from all districts in 1907, when the county was on considerable of a boom. Elm. ploying last years figures returned from the five missing districts as basis of estimating, Gila county this year will have school population of 1894, or l32 in excess of year ago.
 The greatest gains have been made in Globe. Last year the city had school population of 1928. This year the re- turns show l734 school children, or a gain of nearly 100.

UNSUCCESSFUL
 WAS ATTEMPT
 ID BREAK JAIL
PRISONERS IN YUMA COUNTY JAIL EXPLODE TORPEDO UNDER HINGE OF JAIL DOOR, BUT THE wATCHMAN SAVES DELIVERY.

YUMA, June l0-Two unsuccessful attempts to escape from the county jail were made Thursday. The negro who, with a white man, is serving thirty days for stealing Pat Hastings sacred family gander, smuggled a railroad tor pedo into the jail and the prisoners managed to explode it under one of the hinges before daylight Thursday morn ing. If set just right, one of these tor pedoes has the power to break hinge This one did not do SO, but it did spring the door and J. B. Woods, the veteran watehman, was on the scene instantly, so that any further attempt to get away was forcstalled
 The second break took place at 3 o clock in the afternoon, when one of the prisoners stood upon the shoulders of two others, and, reaching his arm through the bars, tried to tumble with the hinges and lock. Mir. Wood gave the fellow good scare by opening fire upon him. He shot just above the hand and the prisoner withdrew it in so much haste that he fell sprawling upon the floor of the cell, knocking the breath from his body by the impact. Mir. Wood could have torn the truant hand to pieces, but he simply wanted to give the recalcitrant a scare.
 During the afternoon Sheriff Gus Liv. ingston went into the cell and made thorough search of all the men. From one of them he took small steel saw about five inches in length. He will see to it personally tha. no more tor pedoes go into the jail.

WORK TWO SHIFTS 0N FINAL DAM

Build Railroad Spur to Site to Move Big Steam
 Shovel.

The Old Dominion company is now working two ten-hour shifts at the site of the proposed dam in the channel of Pinal creek, exeavating for which was begun several days ago and will pro- eeed rapidly as soon as steam shovel is put into use. A railroad spur is be ing built to the damsite and will be finished this forenoon, over which to deliver the steam shovel.
 A four-ineh electric pump is being in- stalled; also string of ineandescent lights in addition to an arc light al- ready doing service. The surface flow is diverted through launder and the underground water developed as exca- vation proceeds will be collected in stump near the center of the channel and raised by the electric pump.
 Construction of the dam will com mence within a few days from either end, the two sections being gradually brought together until the gap is closed.
 The work will be pushed as rapidly as possible, as it is important the dam should be finished, or nearly so, before the summer rains commence ill July, as flood in the creek might seriously damage and retard it's completion.

Wrens Not Afraid of Bear.

Visitors at the Bronx Zoo yesterday saw 'slove's labor lost when Czar, 8 big cinnamon bear, captured a nest which wrens had built on top of his cage. The visitors also learned how brave wrens are, for the birds fearless ly rescued the straws and sticks, mak. ing many trips into the pit to do so.
 The nest nearly was completed yes terday when the range of the Czar broke all bounds. Clinging to the wire netting, he slowly raised his great bulk until he could reach the nest He pull ed it through a hole in the netting.

the list was checked over. The discov- cry was made then that three men were missing.
 Immediately efforts were made to res cue them, but with little hope of reach ing them alive, as the machinery oper- ating the fans had been put out of com mission by the destruction of the engine house and any pure air that might have reached them from the surface had been shut of by the closing of the portal doors.
 The first ones to enter the mine re- turned in haste and informed these waiting that the mine was filled with foul air and it was almost impossible to breathe it. The men all expressed will. ingness to risk contact with the foul air if the missing men could be rescued, and accordingly two rescue parties were formed and the men started into the mine in groups of five by means of the electric elevator, which fortunately was still working. Instructions were given that as soon as anyone showed signs of faintness the rest would immediately bring him to the surface. The air gem erated by the elevator cleared the ele- vator shaft so that but little discomfort was experienced there.
 Soon after a score or more of rescuers had entered the mine, some of those first in appeared at the foot of the ele- vator shaft carrying the unconscious forms of rescuers who had succumbed to the noxious air. Later party reach ed the surface bringing the dead body of Victor F. Riekson and the almost lifeless bodies of John Sunston and Otto Johnson, the three men whose ab- sencc caused the necessity for rescue work. It seems that these three had found spot where the air was not so foul as in the other portions of the mine and Sunston and Johnson had been able to live through it.
 The rescuers who brought these men to the surface reported that many of their companions had been overcome by the foul air and were lying in the drifts of the mine. Instantly there was a clamor among the men at the surface to go to the aid of their fellow workers and it was almost impossible to keep them from overcrowding the elevator, which was kept in almost continuous motion carrying men in and out of the mine. Those coming to the surface ear ried in their arms the bodies of half suffocated men, several of whom died after reaching the surface.
 It was many hours before thorough search of the underground workings was completed and report was made that everyone had been accounted for.
