the thrilling pursuit of twenty-five
Wild steers which stampeded at Archer

warned by the police while the hunt
was in progress and many persons had
narrow escapes from injury when the
steers charged down upon them.
Doorways, stores and street cars
were used ms places of refuge by
pedestrians when the animals hove
Into sight.
The yelling OF the cowboys and the
shouts Of the policemen driving in pa.
troll wagons at 4 swift pace and firing
their revolvers to head off the animals
added to the excitement of the wild

injured by the stampede. The animals

Enough to Note.

r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Gradual Improvement continues, es.
pecially in respect to the percentage
of manufacturing plants in operation,
and country merchants are more dis
posed to replenish stocks. Retail trade
is seasonably quiet, except where sales
are stimulated by clearance sales, but
wholesale and jobblng houses are do
ing good fall business. although col
lections are irregular. With the ex-
ception Of the cotton mills there Is
much less idle machinery in the lead

ments have been signed, and there Is
little strife between capital and labor.
On the whole crop prospects are sat.

FIRE GUARDS THtEX|T.
Cuts of the Escape from Death
by Gas Of Twenty-Five
Coal Miners.
ALL THE MEN ARE sUFFocATED
Horrible Disaster Occurs in Pit in
Oklahoma.
Barrel of OIL Catches Fire. Closing
the Hosting and Air Shafts,
Leaving No Hope for
Those Down Below.

Twenty-nine miners were suffocated
In coal mine No. 1, at Taileyville,
Okla, fourteen miles east Of McAlister,
when fire destroyed the hoisting shaft
and air shift and cut off air from the
men below. Twenty-eight dead bodies
have been removed from the mine fol-
lowing successful three hours battle
with the flames, leaving but one more
corpse to be brought out. Twenty fivs
mules were suff0cated and some of
their bodies were burned. M
All the Dead We're Suffocated.
Explorations in the channels reveal
ed that none of the men met death by
burning, but that all OF them were suf-
located. 1t is impossible vet for the
rescuers to get far from the base of the
main shaft. and 1t probaly will be
twentyfour hours before thorough
search OF the entire mine can be made.
Some of the channels are three-quart-
ers Of mile long.
After the entombed miners had gone
down in the cage for the days work
ii fire broke out, occasioned by the ignl-
ton Of a barrel of oil which miner
was trying to divide. The flames
spread at once to the hoisting shaft
and the air shaft, and all communica.
tion with the top was at once cut off.
The first indication the people on top
of the ground had Of the trouble was
the flames and smoke coming out of
the top Of the shaft.
No Hope for the Prisoners.
Hundreds of miners rushed to the
scene and rried to get into the air
shaft. but this was impossible, as the
flames and smoke We're coming up that
way with such force as to drive them
back. Then an effort was made to
operate the cages running up and down
the hosting shaft. but it was found
that the cages. cables and guides had
been burned. There was absolutely
no hope for the imprisoned miners. The
only thing to do was to fight the fire
until an entrance to the mine could be
effected. This was done with the re.
suit told in the foregoing

OFFER FROM MANcHEsrgR.

President Retz announces that
Hugh Clemans, an attorney at Man
chester, has agreed to give $1,000 tc
the Lenox endowment fund IL $4,000
In addition can be raised at tn
county seat. 1t would seem as If the
offer by Mr.. Clemans ought to spur
the residents of Manchester to hustle
for the $4,000 to make the pledge
good, and at the same time assist a
worthy institution which has been of
benefit to the county since the very
Yearly days of it's settlement. While
IEenox College is located at Hopkin-.
ton. and was founded by the pioneers
and maintained by them during the
early days of its existence, it will not
be denied that its benefits have fall
en- on every section of the county. 1t
is an institution that has been CO.
Nexistent with the history of Delaware
county; it has afforded many of the
boys and girls an education during
1.-THE last fifty years who would not
otherwise have gotten beyond the ru-
raj school; it has sent many prom
Nnent men into the worlds marts with
messages AID abilities for good, and
altogether has been credit to the
town and n janty in which it is sit
uated. Now, when the call is out for
assistance, there is an obligation that
is countrywide to help an enterprise
which from its birth has reflected
nothing but credit and profit in its
radius. The officers of the college
are bending every effort to close the
endowment campaign before the OPP
ening of school September 15. The
offer by Mr.. Clemans is another in
dication that it will be accomplished,
and we believe that the good people
of Manchester will rise to the oc-
casion, and promptly, with pledges
{isufficient to insure this conditional
sum to the cause.-Hopkinton Leader
