While at Work.
SUFFERS A BROKEN HIP
Also Receives Numerous
Bruises.
Injured Man Is Brought 20 the Sawy-
or Sanitarium In Hess and Mark
crt's Ambulance--IIow Dynamite
Came TO BE there Is u Mystery.

Thomas Rupp, ag3d ~ ,ut forty AMI
residing three miles south Of the city
befel the victim of 4 serious acciden.
while employed in the owens stone
quarries, five miles south of the city
Thursday morning.
Rupp was breaking stone with a
pick at the bottom of the main quar-
ry when the pick came in contact
with a stick of dynamite. A powerful
explosion resulted and the victim was
lifted In the air several feet and de-
posted on the rough rocks. A number
of fellow workmen hurried to his as
sistance. He was carried from the
quarry and taken to the company's
Office where DR.. Carl Sawyer of this
city was summoned. The Hess and
Markert ambulance was also called
and he was later removed to the
Sawyer sanitorium. \.
The physicians examination dis
closed that Rupp sustained fracture
of the left hip joint and numerous
sprains and ruises. His condition is
not serious and he will recover.
That Rupp escaped instant death IS
little less than miraculous. The ex-
plosion tore up the rocks at his feet
and was extremely violent How the
dynamite happened TO be located in
the rocks where Rupp was working, is
unknown but had probably been drop
ped there by some careless workman.

A HEALTHY BALANCE

REIMBURSEMENT OF COLORADO
FUEL AND IRON COMPANY

Denver. Dec. ia reappraisement
of the property of the Colorado Fuel &
Iron company, announced today. places
the assets of that company. which was
. threatened with bankruptcy few
years ego. at si0o.55s,i.s The total
liabilities are given at s71.2iS,147.
showing a balance of si9.30s.327.
The new appraisement of the COM
pany was ordered through the execu-
tive committee by John ID. Rockefeller.
Last year the annual statement filed
by the company with the secretary OF
state of Colorado showed that it's liza
bilities were about $1,000. 600. 900 and
it was evident that either some large
interest would have to come to the
rescue or that business would have to
be increased to a point at which the
threatened danger would be wiped out.
The threatened bankruptcy of a few
years ago was due to an apparent ex-
haustion of its iron ore supply. but it
is now announced that n supply of
10000 200 tons has been developed. suf-
ficient II run the big Pueblo mills for
80 years ut least. The development of

the disaster. ii Is alleged. lay In the
use of the two shafts In the Cherry
mine. The main shaft, although sunk
to the level of the third vein, was not
used as a main shaft below the second
vein. The only means OF access to
the third vein by way OF the main
shaft lay i'm a small cage that was at
tached to the main cage by cable
and which. thus suspended from the
main cages or lifts. was drawn up and
down between the two veins The
main entrance to the third vein was
by the cage which operated only be-
tween the second and third veins in
the combined escape and air shafts.
II MAS in this shaft. cut off from the
air shaft only by thin wood partition,
that practically all the work of the
lower vein Was done.
ON this cage the men were taken
back and forth. the coal mined in the
lower vein WAS brought up, hauled
around the haulways to the main shaft,
reloaded on the large cages and So
taken above ground. Another charge
the miners are making is that the
stairway in the escape shaft reached
only To the top or roof of the third vein
and was reached by means of a 20
foot ladder. The officials say that
such means of .sress would be use
less in times Of stress or panic.

MARKET MOVEMENT
OF THE DAY

New York. Dec. l3.-Beyond the
mere chronicle of the fact OF a desuI-
tory advance in prices of stocks to-
day there was little of interest in the
market. Feeble as was the general
demand there was a fairly compre-
hensive show of strength by stocks.
This was largely accomplished by the
sympathetic effect of disproportionate
advances in number of special
stocks. The most conspicuous was
Republic Iron 4 Steel. which rose to
IL IA, the highest in several years.
The recent entry into the Lehigh di-
fectorate of the dominant figures in
the Rock Island property OF course
came into renewed discussion in con-
nection with the movement. The al
legation that Wabash was to he con-
cerned in the linking of the two prop
critics also played a part in the days
discussion as il has on former oc-
casions. A new suggestion was that the
Rock Island preferred stock might be
retired in exchange for bond issue
and the property put into the hands
OF the common stockholders.
The violent advance in Western
Maryland securities pointed To an
other field for, deal rumors. which
were left in the rumor stage with
out authentic confirmation
A hardening of discount rates in
London and Berlin, the securing by
the continent of the London gold sup
ply and the sustained firmnesS Of for
eign exchange rates here modified the
effect of the New York weekly bank
statement to some extent. Call money
touched per cent.

act comedy drama ably presented by

IN THE THEATERS

In the near future, at the Harnois
theater. w. ii. Crane, one Of the very
best native comediens, will be seen in
his most recent success, Father and
the Boys" by that past master of hu-
NOR, George AIDE. The piece. by trust
worthy accounts, has been one Of the
biggest hits of recent years. 1t is
breezy and original. mirthful and wise.
with rich and accurate characterize
ton. It's whole spirit Is described as
so quick and bright, truthful and good,
that it is not too much to say that
people are better and happier for see
ing IL. and it rouses much honest mer-
riment at the expense of common fall
ings. Mr. Crane has given his adj
mirers no such delightful work in
many seasons as he offers them
through the medium of Father and
the Boys His joyful and mastery
characterization in his new George
Ade play hanks back to the delightful
portraits he offered in THE Senator
.''rhe Henrietta and David Harum."
II Is genuine. old-time Crane part
and the comedian is said to extract
from it every iota of its comic posi-
bilities. Charles F'roham has given
Mr.. Crane an elaborate scenic pro-
duction and. the comedian will be sup
ported by the original company which
appeared with him Cor four months at
the Empire theater, New York.
