4 HURT As MINE
CAGE SHOOTS UP
TAMARAck ENGINEER LOSES
q CONTROL OF HoIsT-EsCAPE
FROM HORRIBLE DEATH.

CALUMET. Mich. May 5.-(Spe-
cial.) Through an alleged error of
the hosting engineer at No. 8 shaft
Of Tamarack mine, four miles west
of here. this morning. an over-hoist
was caused and four drill boys were
injured. At first 1t was reported that
IL men were killed and many hurt.
There were nine occupants OF the
cage, men and boys, as it was being
hoisted to the top Of the shaft and
rockhouse. at 6 a. m. The engineer
suddenly lost control OF the apparatus
ana the cage was shot, full force, to
the top.
The four boys were badly bruised,
but none was fatally hurt. The rest
escaped without injuries.
II was rumored that one of the men
had fallen from the cage to the bot
tom OF the shaft, nearly mile below.
Searching paties started to hunt for
his body. when he was found alive and
well. He had passed out OF the crowd
unnoticed, immediately after the ac-
ci6ent.
The escape of the men from a hor-
rible death is regarded as almost
miraculous.
No material damage was done TO the
plant by the accident and work will
not be delayed.

Further disclosures made today con.

the discontinue OF the invaders.
Bombs and explosives were seized by
the English. while In some quarters
much literature OF an anarchistic quail

that concerted attempt was to be
made to overthrow English rule In
India and establish the sovereignty OF

The central English government Is
already taking steps TO punish the
Afghan government for the presump-

rule in the orient.
General appreciation was expressed
here today for the decisiveness and
promptitude with which Gen. Wilcox
acted. In rushing his troops TO the

Jerome Vickers, introduced at the re-
sumption OF the divorce suit OF Henry
j. Lord, millionaire horseman, OF
Nichols, Conn, against his beautiful
Virginia wife, provided the sensation
OF the trial. today. While much cir
cumstantial evidence has thus far
been presented, the little fellow was
the first to testify to any substantial
fact when he said he had seen Mrs.
Lord kissing her Negro coachman,
Harry Cameron, in the Lord barn.
while Lord was just outside the struc-
ture and the barn door was open.
Lords allegation is that his wife
has become enamored OF the Negro.
The boys father, r. w. Vickers, was
the first witness today. He testified
that the first Sunday in last October,
when Lord was away he saw Cameron
seated at window not wholly attired.
while In the same room, just back OF
him, stood Mrs. Lord dressing her hair
In front of n mirror. She was attired
In red kimona that made her plainly

WITNESS AGAINST
HIS s0N-|N-LAW
T. e. 5ARkWoRTH TEsTIFlEs IN
SUIT IN WHICH LLOYD c.
WILLIS IS SUED.

Thomas z. Barkworth, of jackson,
the well-known Democrat politician
and lawyer, was a witness Tuesday
morning In Justice Otis court, where
his son-in-law. Lloyd c. Willis, is be-
ing sued by Edward Campbell. a Jack
son contractor. for SEAS, for material
furnished for residence erected by
Willis. Barkworth was lined up
against his son-in-law, and It came out
during the progress Of the case that
Barkworth is paying the cost of the
suit.
Three years ago Willis married
Barkworth's only daughter, and to
provide an occupation for the young
man In Jackson, Barkworth organized
the Willis Realty Co.. giving Willis a
small block of stock. but retaining the
greater amount himself. Then Willis
and his wife Quarreled and separated,
and the son-in-law several his connec-
ton with the company. He then To-
Gated In Detroit.
During the progress OF the suit
frequent illusions were made to the
row between the husband and wife,
but this was objected to by Barkworth,
who claimed that II had nothing to do
with the case. Barkworth admitted
that he was putting up the costs OF
the case. and said that he would see
that Campbell got hip pay. even IL he
had to go into his own pocket. Judge
OFT withheld his decision.
The present suit is the first that has
arisen as result OF the domestic
trouble of the young couple. but there
are three more pending Justice
Lemkie will hear a case soon in which
Willis Is suing for his share of the
dividends OF the Willis Realty Co.,
and there is one pending in the cir
cult court In which Willis seeks TO
prevent the company from freezing
