Which Has Broken Down on Its
Way to Assist Stricken
Ferry Boat at Can

| Coming upon a disabled steamer
which was on its way to Canton for
the purpose of helping the steamer
Cantonia to rise from beneath the
waters and having to help 1t get to
the scene Is what caused the packet
Keokuk to arrive at the local landing
| about two hours late or not until
midnight. The Iris Is the name Of the
boat which was in distress, she having
been sent from Quincy.
Some time Tuesday night the ferry
boat at Canton sunk while no one was
near and 1t was for the purpose of
pumping the water out Of the sunken
craft that the steamer Iris was sent
for from Quincy 1t seems that on
the way up the river this boat ran into
something which broke its wheel all
to pieces and left the boat in such a
shape that further progress was I'M
possible. Drifting aimlessly around
for some time 1t was only upon the
coming of the steamer Keokuk that
any relief was at hand Those on
board the drifting boat hailed the
crew of the Keokuk and made their
conditions known.
The captain of the packet lost no
time in giving aid to the Iris which
was towing a barge and a big pump,
and after little maneuvering the
boats were hitched together and the
trip to Canton started. The time
made was necessarily slow and owing
to the load which was being pushed.
much time was consumed in making
the trip to the scene. After pushing
the outfit into port the steamer pro-
| ceeded to this city and arrived at
about the time mentioned above.

A. LANGSToN
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

A party of local railroad men, in
cluding Engineers A. Lansgston, Chas.
Wolfe and Arthur Lowe, and Fireman
Jackson, returned yesterday from a
several days hunt on Bull creek, about
ten miles north Of Rowe. Those in
the party report they bagged ten wild
turkeys, some grouse and numerous
quail and other small game.
However, the party was careful, it
seems, not to tell of the probable mar
row escape from death, Engineer
Langston, had. Langston, so the re-.
port goes, was making his way back
to camp one night, and while walking
along framing up story of big
bear he had seen that afternoon, to
tell his companions, had his atten-
ton attracted by the swapping of a
twig just behind him.
1t was fast growing dark and upon
looking around, Langston saw what
he believed to be two fulIgrown griz-
zles. For a moment he thought of
climbing a nearby tree, but on Sec
ond thought knew if the animals
skulking up on him were bears, such
a move would be useless. He did the
next best thing-ran. The way he
burned up the earth is indescriba-
BILE. they say. But grief overlook him.
While running at break neck speed he
tripped and fell. The supposed bears,
which by this time had also quick
ened their pace, were running so fast
that they ran by him.
In falling, Langston's gun was dis
charged lin the excitement he seemed
to have forgotten he had gum and
this attracted the attention Of those
at camp, who were further startled by
hearing Langston's lusty cries for
help. Hurrying to his assistance, it
is said they found him up a tree.
while scampering up the mountainside
were two large wolves of the lobo
variety. It was these two wolves, not
bears, which had given the usuailyl
nervy engineer such an awful fright.

AUTHORITY TO START WORK
REFUSED, PENDING SETTLE
MENT OF CONTROVERSY.

For some time the public has been
rather in the dark as to the exact
status of the Sanguijuela reservoir
project. Nothing of any moment has
come to light until this morning. The
Optic has been on the lookout for
news in this connection and now gives
the following facts to its readers:
F. H. Pierce, member of the
board of trustees of theakas Vegas
grant, returned from Denver Saturday
night and was interviewed by an
Optic representative this morning.
When asked if he had learned any
thing during his absence that would
be of interest to the community, Mr..
Pierce replied that he had talked with
D. A. Camfield, the president of the
Camfield Development company, con
cerning the Sanguiiuela project.
4 The reporter then asked il there
was any prospect bf So,k being be-
gun on the project in the Immediate
future. Mr.. Pierce replied: That is
the very question l asked Mr.. Cam
field. He authorized me to state to
the grant board that he is ready and
anxious to begin work on the diver
sion dam in the Gallinas and upon
the inlet canal to the reservoir site
just as soon as the territorial en-
gineer issues the permit for the wa
ter. He says that he wants to build
these works during the winter sea-
son and while the water is low. He
stated further that the only thing
that prevented him from beginning
work at once is the conflict in the
filings on the waters of the Gallinas,
coupled with the fact that the terri
torial engineer will not issue him
permit until that conflict is decided.
The hearing before the territorial en-
gineer is set for January 4, but Mr..
Camfield says he is ready to begin
work now"

Cherry, H., Nov. 15.-The local
officers of the United Mine workers
of America this afternoon notified
President Lewis of the union, that
80 lives had been lost in the horrify-
ing disaster, following an explosion
which late Saturday afternoon wreck
ed the underground workings of the
mine of the St. Paul Coal company
here, and set fire to the immense col
liery. Out of four hundred men en-
tombed, less than one hundred man
aged to reach the surface alive. The
others, over three hundred of them,
were trapped by cave-ins and were
either suffocated by smoke and
deadly gases or literally roasted alive.
Not until noon today was all hope
of rescuing the entombed men alive
given up. At IL o'clock the members
of an exploring party, which included
James Taylor, state mine inspector;
r. Y. Williams, of the United States
rescue station at Urbana and two
miners, who escaped Saturday, we're
lowered to the third level, where if
alive, the entombed miners were
awaiting rescue. The members of
this party found that it was impossi-
BILE to penetrate the mine more than
a few feet from the shaft as the
mine was still on fire. However, they
were able to see countless bodies
strewn along the main slope.
AS a result of this investigation,
neither the officials or the miners be-
lieve there is any chance Of the en-
tombed men beings alive. 1t was
planned to bring the bodies of the
miners to the surface this afternoon.
The task will be difficult as the
searching parties must be provided
with oxygen helmets in order for
them tow carry stretchers into the
mine It jsr believed the men in their
desperate fight fol their lives. crawl
ed to the farthest extremeties in
the mine. Pathetic evidence of this is
shown by scattered caps, dinner buck
cts and lanterns along the shafts,
which the men dropped as the fire
drove them further in.
Late last night the air shaft, the
only opening besides the hosting
shaft, was hermetically sealed All

and children surrounded the opening

SPECIAL GRAND JURY
INVESTIGATING SHORTAGE


Cincinnati, o., Nov. 15.-The ofic-

shortage of Charles L. Warriner, the
deposed local treasurer of the Big
-Four railroad, was begun today at a
specially convened session of the
grand jury. Several officials of the
railroad company we're among the
witnesses. 1t was also announced that
Mrs. jeanette Stewart mention
ed by Warmer as one of those to
whom he was forced to pay blackmail,
would be summoned to appear before
the grand jury. Mrs. Stewart, while
denying strongly that she ever receiv-
ed a cent from Warriner, has limited
at sensational disclosures in connec-
tion with the case.

of the mine. The women complained
bitterly. as the sealing OF the shaft
seemed to cut OF all means of air.
but the mine officials declared that
if the men were alive, they would
be better protected as it would prob
ably put an end to the fire still rag
ing in the timbers.
In the meantime hunger and want
is rising like grim spectres to haunt
the families of the dead miners, and
thousands of orphans will soon be
without food unless help comes i'm
mediately. I'VE will need help and
plenty of it," said Mayor Connolly
today, "and it must come promptly
or there will be great suffering among
the destitute families of the dead min.
ers. This town is too small to handle
the situation alone. Most of our citi-
zens are miners and the majority of
them are down in the mine dead
