A Narrow Escape

Fred Wigg had a mighty narrow escape from what might have been a bed accident last Saturday after noon. He was at work at the log ging camp which he and Eddie Berkeley are running over on Wor- enofski Island, when he slipped from the top of "a log, along which he was walking, to the ground. He threw out his hands to save himself, and struck his left arm against double bitted axe The resulting cut was a bad one, of course, but fortunately neither art cry nor bone were touched. He was brought over to town and Dr. Shurick treated the cut.

The Editor Goes Hunting

It was a small and select party who boarded the Salmon last Sum day morning, bright and early, for duck hunting trip to the flats at the rivers mouth. Ii consisted of Commander, Chief and Chef, Fred Stackpole; crew, Frank Churchill, and passengers Harry Gartley and the Editor. The trip over, though made in a bowling wind, was with out event--if we except the carry ing away of the boom by squall, and such minor matters-and the flats reached about eight o'clock.
 In making his get away after landing his passengers, the pilot ran the ship up on to the hurricane deck of a submerged log, and for the moment it looked as though she would turn turtle when the re- ceding wave left her high and dry, a fate which was narrowly averted by the man of many titles, Stack pole, jumping overheard and hold ing her up, getting a thorough wet ting while so doing. And then the hunting began, and prime it was, too. Never before had we seen so many ducks in such a short time. They were everywhere, and soon they began to fall.
 On the way over, the Chef had taken a vote on what we should have for dinner, MulligtJawney, Ducks a la Pappa, Ducks cooked in the Spanish language, or just a plain ofd Mulligan. The matter was settled by all agreeing to leave it to the cook, and we were all wondering how these ducks would be cooked when We got back to the boat. Aboard we went, piled up the game, sat down with expectant faces and empty stomachs, and be- hold. all ha had cooked was bacon and eggs.
 The high wind prevented our re- turning that evening, so we spent a very comfortable night on board the Salmon, and after killing a few more ducks Monday morning, left for home on the incoming, tide. The editor is going again just as soon as he can get the time, and he will take something less than scow load of ammunition with him.
 He ran out of it on this trip and ] has. registered a VOW that it won't happen again.

cause Of his peculiar infrmity the
young man is noted as a 'possum

The pecans r larger than the

Mr.. Kesler says he found some
walnuts in Davis county which
seemed to be superior to the COM
mon variety. He planted some
and set out the sprouts, but only
two lived. They are bearing we'll

RESCUE WORK BElNG PUSHED.
Record to Date Shows that 1873 Men Are
Still! Missing,

Cherry, ILL.,, November 81.
-Hope7afoused yesterday by
the rescue alive Of 20 entomed
men from the st. Paul mine
just one week after tie start>
ing of the fatal fire, was
crushed today, for not one
more of the 80 men caught
by the fire was found.
The day Was spent in re-
moving bodies and in bury
ing the corpses heretofore res
covered. Tonight the records
showed that that Of the 80
men left in the mine last Sat-
urday night 1913 are still
missing, while 80 bodies have
been found and 20 men res
cued alive.
The fire that broke out
! afresh last night was smoth~
cred today and explorers
were able to work in the
mine, but black damp in one
OF the galleries defied the
men as did c,,yc.-.s and 9th
er debris.
It was not even discovered
whether there are more men
; alive in the mine galleries,
although the explorers work
with almost superhuman
strength and rapidly.
The finding Of 81 bodies
and their removal were the
only visible results of today's
endeavors.
All day long the tolling of
church bells resounded in
Cherry and Spring Valley
Eighteen bodies were buried
in a field south of Cherry
At the mine a dozen victims
in collins awaiting removal
while a score of collins were
piled nearby for others that
might be brought to the SUR
face.
Services for the dead were
held outside the churches,
into which Coroner Main
deemed it inadvisable that
the bodies be taken.
1t was declared today that
the assertion made yesterday
that $50 live men had been
discovered was not well
founded. Each hour that
passes now is looked on as
making the chance of escape
pitifully less.
