.L|BERTY'S DASH BRINGS DEATH
Military Prisoners Escape Is Stopped
by Two VoIleys from Rifles of
Regulars.

San Francisco, Cal.-The sudden
dash for liberty of military prisoner
was stopped on the Folsom wharf by
the bullets of squad of soldiers.
Eight rifles spit fire as he ran. He
stumbled and fled on. Again there
was volley He jumped high in the
air, came down, staggered on for 80
feet more and fell dead.
c. ]. Collins, military prisoner 61O,
had been tried, found guilty and ex-
ecuted by his guards in the short
space of ten seconds. 1t was a most
spectacular tragedy while it lasted
and grim in the lesson It taught for
harshness of military rule. There
was no hesitation, no furry.
Collins, 610, was one of detail OF
military prisoners sent to the trans.
port docks from Alcatraz on the tug
General Mifflin to load supplies for
"The Rock" Eight soldiers were
tolled off to guard them and the work
of shifting the supplies went on with
out incident until about 10 o'clock. In
a moment when Collins believed his
guard had relaxed their vigilance he
made his dash for liberty. At the
first volley from their rifles he was
seen to tremble violently and miss
step. He faltered only for an instant
however, and continued on. The sec
ond volley was prompt and fatal. Into
the air he jumped, came down on
hands and feet, struggled up and OF
again for short distance to fall and
rise no more.

The proposition to cnange the date
of presidential inauguration from
March 4 to day late in April. in order
to avoid the risk of inclement weather,
has ben sidetracked for the present.
There is opposition in congress on
various grounds, but one of the most
curious is that the movement is in the
interest Of the Washingtonians. who
want chance for Showing off" under
favorable conditions. There really is
little glory for the Washington people
in the inauguration exercises. and as
they bear the expense of the spectacu-
lar part of the performance there
would not be any serious damage done
If ouce in every four years they did
give themselves the privilege of get
ting into the spotlight. But the really
serious objection to Inauguration day
in early March is the risk involved to
the lives and health of the partici-
pants.

There were some unusual features in

THOMAS F. WALSH
CALLED BY DEATH
MILLIONAIRE MINE OWNER DIES
In WASHINGTON SURROUND
ED BY FAMILY.
MADE HIS START IN WEST BY
GRUB STALKING PARTY OF
PRoSPECTORS.

Washington, d. c. - Thomas F.
Walsh, the Colorado millionaire, is
dead here in his beautiful residence,
Twenty-second street and Massachu-
setts avenue. Mr.. Walsh's wife, his
daughter, Mrs. Edward Mclean, and
his son-in-law, Edward Mclean, were
at his bedside when the end came.
Death was due to heart failure. His
fatal illness dates from the time,
about month ago, when he was
stricken in San Antonio, Tex.
From the time that he returned to
Washington Mr.. Walsh was fully
aware that death would be the out
come of his illness. He remained
cheerful, however, and almost daily
received his old friends in the sick
room. The funeral will be held on
Sunday at 8 o'clock. In terment will
be in Rock Creek cemetery.
Born in the county of Tipperary,
Ireland, in 1851, of poor family,
Thomas F. Walsh became one of the
wealthiest men and the greatest min
ing man in the United States. He was
educated in the public schools of Ire.
land and later learned the millwright s
| trade; this was before he was 10
years of age. He then emigrated to
America and went to Massachusetts,
where he earned his living at the car,
pentry trade.
He was persuaded to go west and
subsequently established himself in
Leadville, where he engaged in bust.
ness as builder and contractor
Later he built houses in the Black
| Hills region, and did a little pros
pecting. Mr.. Walsh never went about
the country with pick on his back
By close study he acquired an init
mate knowledge of geology, mineral
ogy and metallurgy; the disposition oi
ore bodies and the development and
treatment of ores, and was at his
death the foremost mining expert OF
the United States.
Long before Mr.. Walsh became rich
he met and fell in love with Miss Car
rie Reed, Wisconsin girl, whom he
married in October. 1879, at Leadville
Col. She, although her early horizon
was limited, possessed all the gifts

wife. During his spare moments
Walsh arrived at some original theo
ries on mining, and dreamed of a great
fortune. He made it regular prac
tice to grub stake" prospecting par
ties in consideration of share of the
profits, if any. One such party in 1871
struck something rich in the Blacl
Hills. Walsh sold his share in the
mine for 100000 and that was the
foundation of his great fortune.
was somewhere around 1896 tha
Walsh discovered the greatest mine il
the country, the Camp Bird of which
he was the largest owner. One day ht
came to the conclusion that ther,
were valuable gold and silver deposit,
in the high regions around the Aura,
district. Old miners laughed at him
but he staked out claims and set gang,
of men to work. The result of hi
sagacity and pluck was the Camp Birt
mine, which yielded $3,000,000 tn,
first three years of it's existence.
