CHERRY, Illinois, November 49,
All hope of rescuing the three hundred
and ten miners entombed in the burn

When this announcement was made
today the families and relatives of the

that were small riots.
The feeling is so tense that the local
officials have called for state troops to
prevent rioting.

CITY Iy.M MAY !! CONDEMN. n |! !!E.
THE tn. & P. LINES

Shall the city Of Tacoma build competing mu-
nlcipa street railway system and force the Stone
Webster company off the map or condemn and pur-
chase the present lines?
The two propositions may be submitted to the
people at the coming spring election.
Councilman Giblett introduced an ordinance to
build new competing line. He has had estimates
made, and it can be done, he says for $1,O00,000
With this line in operation, he figures the Stone
Webster people could be quickly forced to sell at
such a price as would pay the city to buy. Giblett
lis opposed to condemning the present lines without
having nucleus for competing, line for he says
he does not intend the city shall pay anything for
franchises and watered stock.
J Chairman Rankin of the finance committee, to
whom the Giblett ordinance referred this
ing, called it up for discussion, and suggested that
he believed it advisable to condemn the present city
lines rather than to build an Independent system
He suggested that two propositions be put up to the
people, one to build city system and the other to
condemn the old lines. Then the people can take
their choice. Councilman Lynn also took this posi-
tion, and the finance committee will probably re-
port the ordinance back to the council with this
added provision.
1t is generally conceded that the people will be
given an opportunity to vote on the proposition of
municipal ownership at the coming election unless
something remarkable happens in the next few
weeks to change the local situation.

Woman Who Obtained Divorce to

Court to Get Damages for His
Failure to Marry Her.

Dorothea Oline Lee is suing Davis

The woman took the stand this
morning and told a long story to
the jury of her infatuation for Da-

vorce from Oliver Lee in 1907 un-
der the agreement that she was to
become the wife of Davis. Instead

ner and never made any steps to-
ward making her his legal wife.
!. Many times, she said, he intro
duced her as Mrs. Davis and told
many persons that they were mar
ried.
Davis and Mrs. Lee met In Ia
coma In April, 1907. A mutual
attraction followed and they be-
came very intimate, according to
the woman. the agreement to mar
ry was often repeated between
them, and finally she left for We
natchee, where she had lived with
her husband, and secured a divorce
from him. Returning to Tacoma,
she says, she agreed to Davis pro-
pasal to marry as soon as the re-
Quired six months had passed.
Davis makes a general denial
of the charges Of the young wom-
an, saying that there were never
any agreements about marriage,
although they were intimate, and
further declaring that LIE had
grounds for breaking the promise
If he had made any.
Davis has been married recently
and his wife sits beside him in the
court room, suggesting questions
to put to the complaining witness,
and occasionally offering other
assistance.
