BROTHERS BATTLE
FOR LIFE IN NINE

SALT LAKE, Utah, March 10.-Two
brothers. Jerry and George Peterson, en-
tombed since 4 O'Clock Monday afternoon
in a narrow space behind tons of earth,
their lives dependent upon two-inch
pipe until willing workers clear away the
barrier; with but little nourishment for
over "a hours and lacking fresh air, these
men are the principals In scene of tragic
intensity now being enacted in a little
mine high up in the niountainside six
miles east of Murray. @
Word received at O'Clock this morning
is to the effect that the rescue party was
within two feet of the entombed men
when another cave-in occurred, placing
six feet more of earth between the rescue
party and the prisoners. Just before the
last cavern, the rescuers, talked to the
prisoners, one OF whom is desperately Ill
and may die il aid does not, reach him
soon. 1t is thought the prisoners may be
released by o'clock this morning. The
men are standing in two feet of water.
The tunnel had been driven about $50
feet and Monday afternoon the men had
prepared a blast AS they fired the fuse
and started to run to safety they were
halted with fear by seeing the roof and
sides of the tunnel begin to slide in.
With an instant appreciation of the dam
ger, however. and realizing the chances of
being caught beneath the falling earth,
Jerry hastily threw a length of the iron
pipe beneath the cavern. The pipe lies
fiat on the ground without providing a
means of draft, and it was not until yes
terday afternoon that fresh air was sup
piled by means of a bellows. 1t was
found possible to use the pipe to provide
food by inserting a rubber tupe and in
that way supplying milk to the imprisoned
men.

BY DOCTORS MISTAKE

HARRISBURG, Pa. March s.-Rose
Cohen, an eight-year-old girl, is conval-
escing i'm the Harrisburg hospital after
having been, operated on Sunday for APP
pendicltis by mistake. The child and her
1I-year-old brother were sent to the in
stitution suffering with enlarged tonsils.
In some unexplained manner the girl
was given an anaesthetic and her appen-
dix was taken out The surgeons say
that the appendix was somewhat in
famed and they did not discover Their
mistake until the parents called.
The humorous feature Of the case Is
the assertion that the condition of the
little girls appendix showed that she
would have developed appendicitis any
way, and that the operation, therefore,
was a fortunate mistake.

the supreme court OF the United States,
has just come to light the fact that Presi-
dent Taft's lips fell upon a very signifi-

He presented 1t TO Mr.. Taft and after
the latter had sworn to bear truth, faith
and allegiance. he reverently leaned over
and touched his lips to the open face of
the book. They. fell upon the third chap

"Give. therefore. thy servant an under
standing heart to judge thy people. that
I may discern between good and bad; for
who is able to judge this Thy so great
people?''
