Michael Eagen, aged Al years, 8 resi-
dent Of Grafton, Mass, was run over by
a freight train on the Delaware division
of the P, B. & w. railroad Monday morn
ing and perhaps fatally injured. The
accident happened near the station at
Townsend. He was taken to Whining
ton and removed to the Delaware Hos
pital. Both Of his feet were found to
have been crushed. It was necessary to
amputate one foot and to amputate three
toes on the other foot. He is reported to
be in a critical condition. Eagen was
said to have been lying on the track
when the train ran over him. Whether
he was sleeping there with the rails as a
foot rest, or whether he had been affected
by the heat and fallen exhausted is not
known.
The 1909 wheat harvest in this section
is now over, and some OF our farmers are
stacking, while others are making ar
rangements to begin threshing the first
Of next week. Opinions differ as TO the
probable yield, but it is the census Of
opinion that the crop will not be what
was expected some weeks back, but in q
few days when many of the growers will
have their crops threshed out, more
accurate estimate can be made. There is
always great difference of opinion about
wheat crop, and this year is no excep-
ton to the rule, yet SO far we have failed
to find a grower who would allow him
self to be quoted as to The real shortage in
his crop.

The Norwegian steamship Juan, With
a cargo Of fruit for Philadelphla, cut ID

about so O'Clock Wednesday afternoon,
nearly off Bombay Hook, and caused the
latter to sink within few minutes after
the bow Of the Juan had backed from tie
tug. The tng Lykens which WAS nearby,
cast of her tow Of bargps and at once
went to the relief of the men Of the other
tug, and rescued them.
Although Chief Engineer John Tillsy
was injured in the collision, he heroically
rescued Elton Williams, Of stlbyyille,
this State, who was the assistant engineer
of the Swatara. Both men were taken to
Philadelphia on the tug Carlisle and sent
to the Mount Sinai Hospital.
Williams was struck on the head by
the grating and it is feared bis injuries
may prove fatal.
Iilley, although partially stunned,
picked up bis wounded companion and
made his way up ladder to find the boat
deserted and the tug fast settling. He
seized piece Of board and holding onto
bic inert assistant engineer, jumped over
board, and was later hauled on board the
LykeDs and then transferred to the Car
Isle.
The men who we're uninjured we're
taken to New Castle and atterward

THEIp VERDICT a COMPROMISE
Jury at the Inqhest Declares That East.
man KILLED Edltl May WoodiII

man Killed E0ltn may W00olll
ST.. MIoHAEIs, MD., June 29sh- With
the adjournment Of the inries Of inquest
and their verdict being in : nature Of a
compromises, as TO the direct guilt Of
Robert Emmett Eastman for the murder
Of Edith May Thompson WoodilI, it is
now belirled that the authorities have
done every thing in their power to solve
the mystery. but without much success,
and the interest is now simmering out.
Detective Pohler, after having been
here twenty four hourp, and after giving
the case much attention, left for Balti-
more to-day. He expressed the opinion
that Eastman alone was guilty of the
crime but that it was not at all likely
that any explanation Of the motives would
ever be made.
"With Eastman's lips sealed, " said the
detective, ''there is no one to tell any
thing. The crime will always be a m, s.
terry. Il is but charitable to endeaVor to
shield the woman as far as possible and
TO believe that the man lured her to her
death, but why and for what will never
be revealed"
The verdict OF the jury which was in
the shape Of compromise reads:
"That on June 10th, E. E. Roberts,
alias r. E. Eastman, did voluntarily and
feIonionsly beat and wound the said Edith
May Woodill in the forehead and face,
and she then and there instantly died,
and the said E. E. Roberts, alias Robert
E. Eastman, then and there feloniously
killed or was accessory to the crime Of
the said Edith May WoodilI."
In all the testimony that was heard,
little that has not before been contained
in United Press dispatches, was brought
ont. The facts concerning the place Of
the murder in the bungalow, remain un-
altered but at the same time bit more
of evidence to show that Eastman and
the woman we're not alone were produced.
There have been any number of wild
stories. One of these was that Eastman.
told certain man all about the murder
without mentioning any. names and de-
claring that it was good material for a
magazine story.
Another story was that Eastman con-
Quoted death farm and that the victims
we're buried on the farm.
These stories helped to keep up the ex-
.citement until to-day, when the people
have awakened to the fact that the au-
thorities have done everything in their
power TO ascertain whether Eastman alone
was guilty or whether there were any
other parties implicated and have been
Unable to fathom the mystery.

strued as meaning that the applicant
must affirmatively show by proof OF
exploration that the vein exists in
fact throughout the whole length OF
the claim.
The construction of the para
graph is erroneous BY the words
quoted it was intended to require the
claimant to show the existence OF
vein in such workings as he relied
on to establish a discovery. By the
extent of the vein was meant its
size and quality as disclosed. That
being done the presumption exists
that the vein extends on its strike
throughout the whole length of the
claim as located.
THE sole purpose of paragraph Al
quoted was to enable the land de-
partment to know, so far as applicant
can reasonably show, the definite
facts upon which the right to the
patent is predicted so as to deter
mine whether valuable mineral de-
post exists in the land claimed.

The travel to Glendale continues
undated. Every day many autos
leave this camp for the strike. Many
OF those who go remain, while others
go simply to take in the sights and
pass upon the strike. A town is
springing up, which is widening out
as the days go by. !. There are at pres
ent several business houses including
saloons, grocery stores and the like.
Glendale is certainly the main
topic of conversation upon the
streets. Try as you will to get a
mans attention upon something else,
he will invariably branch off into a
tale of Glendale.
Work has begun in the camp which
will prove the extent and possible
richness of the mineral zone in that
section. While every one comedies
that the original find is one of the
largest prospects ever uncovered in
this or any other state, there has
been little if any work upon other
properties, although the various
showings seem to warrant the con-
clusion that there are untold treas
ures to be opened up with develop
ment.
Yesterday Senator 7, l.. Oddie ar
rived from the camp, having spent
two days there in a careful survey
of the different showings. He is not
backward in saying that the Cliffords
have as fine showing as any one
would wish to see, considering the
amount of work done. They are
busily engaged developing their find
and improvement characterizes their
operations. AS far as they have gone
down upon the vein, it holds its Won
derful richness.
The Malley lease is now under full
swing and the work of opening up

IN THE PROBATE COURT.

In the probate court yesterday, the
matter of the settlement of the es-
tate of the late l. Morasci came up,
but was not disposed Of Morasci
was formerly saloon man of Round
Mountain in partnership with E. A..
Winder. Some time ago he died and
Cy Johnson was granted letters of
administration to settle up the af-
fairs of Morasci. Winder is fighting
the settlement of the estate at this
time, claiming that the estate of
Morasci is not as extensive as it is
claimed, he himself alleging that
certain portions sought to be dis
posed of are his (Winder's) personal
property.

The Talk of the
Town is Glendale

their block of ground will be prose-
cuted with all haste, as much as is
consistent with good mining. Many
look for this lease to strike the pay
streak within very short time. The
report that ore has already been
struck proved canard. However,
the lease is but stones throw from
the original strike and much de-
ponds upon the success of this work.
District Attorney Cleve Baker is
another who thinks well of Glendale.
He stated upon his return yesterday
from the district that he had never
seen anything like it in his life and
did not expect to see another.
Zeb Kendall will start work upon
his lease at once. The senatorS
block is very close to the big strike
and the work on that estate will be
watched quite as closely as the de-
velopments upon the ground being
worked by Malley and associates.
Another of the leases to begin at
once is L. l.. Blumenthal. He is
arranging to put force of men at
work within the next few days. He
is confident that the work will be
but begun when the ore shoot will
be encountered.
Glendale is fortunate to begin
with in having leasers who are men
of standing in the mining world and
men who will get down to business
at once. The leasers have made near
~ all of the good camps in the coun-
try and Glendale will profit by their
advent into the district. Meanwhile
the town will feel their presence and
while the work of development is
under way good times are assured.
The entire country has its eyes upon
the newborn child of the desert at
this time. 1t remains for time alone
to tell of its greatness.
