Bert Miller was seriously injured In

at'Silvsr City on Monday. He had
been repairing the shaft in the mine
when the slide, occurred, Just sfter q
few old timbers had been removed tc
be replaced by new ones. He was al.
most entirely buried in the dirt and
debris, aud SO tightly was he fastened
that for . time he was unsble to
move and pains In his limbs indicated

heavy crush Of earth upon him. Bur
led to his neck and alone he was able
towork his arms free end though in.
'tured dug himself free In : few hours.
AS soon as freed he endeavored to
dag himself from the shaft, but
when about half way out another
cavein occurred, again burying the
unfortuate. man to his shoulders.
This time his right arm was broken,
yet even in this condition he made a
heroic effort for freedom. He worked
with his left hand to dig his body
from its position. The great pain
and stress of mind caused him to
faint several times. The palm of his
left hand was worn to the flesh and
badly lacerated in his efforts to liber-
ate himself. Working diligently
from about the middle of the fore
noon until about two o'clock in the
afternoon he was able to free himself
of the rocks, timber and earth, which
.encased him in what appeared a living
grave, he was able to reach the top Of
the shaft and breath pure air again.
The nearest house was about two
miles distant, and as he was alone
and unable to walk ON account Of
his leg having been broken in two
places, he was confronted by a condi-
tion little better than in the shaft.
He rolled and dragged himself by
means Of one leg and his left arm to
Noble Riley's cabin and there found
shelter, while physician was hastily
summoned from Memo. Examina-
tion of his condition disclosed his
right leg broken in two places. right
arm broken, several bruises and LAGER
ations with all indications of serious
internal injury. He is a married
man with wife and family at Pac-

By J. X. Jeffery

Quite unexpectedly full fedged plan
to conduct winter race meeting at
New Orleans has developed. The rae
ing will not be at either of the two big
tracks, but over the Suburban park
course in jefferson parish, which ad-
joins the city.

planned undertaking backed by J. B.
Respess, with Joseph A. Murphy as
presiding Judge. and Arthur Mcknight
starter 1t is planned TO open the meet
ing January Is, with individual bettin 2
on the New York plan. The projectors
of the meeting claim that personal wa
gering is permissible under the Locke
law, which prohibits book making and
all mutual forms of betting
The word has been quietly passed to
eastern owners in winter quarters to
prepare their horses for sudden action,
and it is probable that the entire ar
ray of owners and horses that have
been in action at San Antonio forth
with will be transferred to the Crescent
City.

concerning the undertaking:
We intend to race in strict accor-
dance with the provisions of the Locke
law. / shall ask the county officials
to point out the line that is the straight
one, and we will hew strictly to it, We
will make no attempt to eVade or test
the constitutionality of the law. There
Will be no device to harbor book max
ing, nor will the management take the
slightest cognizance of betting. We
have ample financial backing and mean
to begin the rejuvenation and upbuild-
ing of racing in Louisiana on clean and
proper lines. The purses at the be-
ginning will not be elaborate but none
will be less than 5000"
