.ENTOMDED MINERS FREE
AFTER SETEH WEEKS
Residents of Ely, New, Rejoice at
the Rescue.
ALL THREE IN GOOD HEALTH

A. u. Bailey, T.. J. Brown and Fred
Mcdonald Come to the Surface
After Being Imprisoned a Thou
sand Feet Below.
Ely, Rev. - Residents of Ely are
discussing the marvellous rescue Of
A. D. Bailey, P. ]. Brown and Fred
Mcdonald, who are alive and well af-
ter being entombed nearly seven
weeks i'll the Alpha shaft of the Gil
roux mine, 2 thousand feet below the
surface of the earth.
Ali the bells of the camp were
rung and the whistles blew as the
men were brought forth. Other min
ers gathered around them TO clasp
their hands, not knowing how soon
they themselves might be called or to
undergo a similar or more horrible
experience.
On the morning of December 4
Mcdonald, Brown and Bailey and
two Greeks were working in the bot
tom of a shaft e~ighty-five feet below
the pump station and 1885 feet be-
low the surface. The shaft caved in,
swapping the cable used to haul the
cage from the shaft and hurling thou
sands of tons of rock and timhers
into the shaft. From the bottom of
the compartment in which the men
were working to the pumping station
a series of rickety ladders offered the
only means of egress.
With falling rocks and timbers
streaming down on them the five men
struggled up these ladders. Half way
up falling timbers knocked the two
Greeks from the ladders, killing
them. Bailey, Mcdonald and Brown
reached the pump station. It's tim
bered roof withstood the rock and
timber hat came down the shaft and
offered them a prison, where they
crouched, while a tintervals rocks and
timbers kept crashing above them,
threatening momentarily to crush the
deep tomb.
At first it was thought on the sur
face that all five men had persisted,
but twenty-four hours after the acct
dent the three buried men managed
to make themselves heard by tapping
on a six-inch water pipe that reached
lIOlu the oldIlOu W lu6 sur
face. Communication was estab-
lished with the world above and food
and drink were ~plenteously lowered
through the pipe. A large supply
was sent down, as it was feared the
pipe might be broken before the res
cuers could reach the imprisoned
men. But throughout the long weeks
of imprisonment this pipe was daily
used. A portable telephone vas low
cred and the men were able to talk
with those above. This telephone
carried from friends the news of the
world and messages of cheer, and
from the buried men reports of theil
condition.
Clearing of the debris was SLOW
work, as timbers, rocks and earth
were so twisted together that a new
shaft had to be cut for most of the
1000 feet. At no time did the en-.
tombed men suffer greatly.

JAIL FOR ICE TRUST IEN.
Courts Error at Toledo, Ohio, Was in
Sending Them to Workhouse.

Toledo, Ohio.-More than thirty of
Toledo's business men will be con-
fined at the county Jail as a conse-
quence of a decision of the Supreme
Court at Columbus relative to the
Ice Trust cases, started nearly two
years ago.
The Supreme Court held that the
Valentine antitrust law is constitu-
tional, and sent TIC ice cases back to
the Common Pleas Court only be-
cause the Imprisonment by that court
was ordered in the workhouse in
stead of the jail.
This decision means that the five
ieemen who pleaded guilty and the
lumbermen who entered such a plea
will have to serve their sentences.

PASTORS RESIGNATION.

Rev. Edward Overs, who has been
pastor of the Christian Church in
Pennington for the past three and IA
half years, last Sunday morning
rendered his resignation. Mr.. Overs
has for several months been troubled
with throat affection and he thinks
he may be benefited by change Of
climate. He has received n call
from church in Texas, and having
decided to accept it he rendered his
resignation here, which under the
circumstances was accepted by the
church board to take effect, accord
ing to his wishes, on the first OF
December,
Mr.. Overs has been OF large bene-
fit to the church here which under
his pastorate has grown In member
ship and has been spiritually up
lifted. He has also been foremost
and aggressive worker In all reform
or other movements looking to the
moral hetterment of the community,
and was one of the most active
leaders in the local option move
ment in this county. His upright
character and daily christian walk d,
rejecting the spirit OF the Master
whom he serves. has won for him
the good will and esteem of every
body, and he will certainly be
missed; AS will also his estimable
wife, who is as consecrated to the
cause as her husband, and whose
gentle, christian character has en-
deared her to every member of the
congregation. We take pleasure In
commenting them to the people
among who they will resume their
work, and hope that both temporal
and spiritual good may follow and
abide with them in their new field
Of labor.
