TWO WERE KILLED
 IN SHANNON MINE Careless Use of Steel Bar
 Caused Fatal Explosion of Blast

On last Sunday the Shannon mine was the scene of a most serious acci- dent, in which two men lost their lives and seven were badly injured. T1e explosion took place in an oen cut, in which 8 force of men was working
 Black powder was being used for the blasting and as heavy loads Were being used, il was necessary to drill 5xara large holes. While loading one of these holes a good sized rock fell in. One of the men attempted to ex. tract the rock by careless use of Q steel bar, resulting in the explosion.
 This work has always been under strict supervision of the mine boss, who happened to be absent a few mo ments before the accident The man who was handling the bar, strange to say, escaped without serious injury, while his companions received the eff fleets of the flying rock
 The men killed and injured were Nexicans and Spaniards. Several of the injured men were taken to the company hospital in Clifton and are getting along nicely.

ID ARRANGE FOR
 CARE OF THE POOR
District Attorney Williams Will Devise Plan For Keep of
 lndigents.

District Attorney John s Williams passed through Bisbee yesterday on his way to Douglas, where he will look after arrangements for the indi- gent poor to be taken care of under the health officers department.
 Mir, Williams stated that it was his opinion that the former method of handling the indigent poor cases through the justice courts was a mfs- take, so far as the law covering the point was concerned, and that here after. if his ideas in the matter pre- vailed, they would be handled through the health department of the county.
 Mir Williams will probably go to Courtland tomorrow, where Herrin, a saloon keeper, has been arrested on a complaint of Sharkey, also a saloon keeper. who allegesthat the former Is running a saloon within six miles of grading camp. without waiting six months for his license, which Is contrary to law.

INTENSE INTEREST
Among Geographic Society Members
But No One Will Comment.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Intense in
terest was manifested here Saturday
by the officials of the National Geo
graphic Society in the preliminary re-
port of the committee of the Univer-
sity of Copenhagen that it had failed
to find proof substantiating DR.. Cooks
claim that he had reached the North
pole April 21, 1908. None, however,
would permit himself to be quoted.
1t is we'll known, however, that there
has been in the membership of the So
ciety a large element that was skepti-
cal of Dr. Cooks claims, and that for
this reason Dr. Cook would not con-
sent to have the society pass upon his
records.
AS soon as official announcement is
made of the conclusion of the commit
tee of the university the National
Geographic Society will take prompt
measures to bring to an end the world
wide controversy about the finding Of
the North pole by demanding from DR..
Cook absolute proof of his claim. On
failure to receive ample and convincing
proof that will satisfy it's members,
the society will proclaim Commander
Peary as the first and only discoverer
of the pole.

the late King Leopold lay in state in

black with silver fringe. 1t was liz up
by the glare from electric globes and
the softer glow of hundreds of candles.
The mahogany casket. in which the
King lay. was half draped with colors

surmounted by his daughters floral
wreaths It was guarded one either side

and the promoter of Christian civiliza-

On the other hand, the general So
