contrary, / gave my attention to the
Alpha shaft and there was no lack of
volunteers to go to the rescue of the
missing men.
How the fire occurred, or Just
where it broke out is a mystery. 1t
was above the 1,200-foot level, and
must have occurred in the 700 or
l ,0O0-foot level. But how any fire
could have started there | cannot
understand, for we were not work
ing any men in either place on the
night shift. All the work was con-
fined below the 1,4O0. The men
say that Drae made two trips, one
to the 700 and another to the 1000.

When all hope of recovering the
bodies of the two missing men was
given up I ordered both shafts seal
ed. When this was done | had live
steam turned into both. | do not
know when the seals will be removed
nor can anyone say how much dam
age may be done to the shaft. This
is of very small consequence. 1t is
nothing compared with the lives
which have been lost. After the
dead and injured had been removed
from the cage, and I learned that all

was an errand of mercy and with
plenty of time in which to think and
to feel. No mad dash to victory or
to rescue was theirs; but a calm, de-
roundings, and they carried their
dead companions up the ladders to
the surface. And is this bravery?
1t is a curage sublime overshadowing
the bravery of the battlefield.

ockhill-Schallenberger's hall, and
the interment at the Ely cemetery.
John Wilhelmy had been in the
district for about three years, having
come here with his father from
Grand Junction, Colorado. He was
only 90 years of age, and had been
employed as pumpman for the past
year at the Giroux. He was a fine
lad, and his cheerful and sunny dis
position had made for him many
friends in the district. He was an
Elk, and there was a large delega-
day morning when the remains were
shipped by express to his former
home at Grand Junction.
Mike Foley, who succumbed to his
injuries at the Steptoe hospital, was
resident of the district for the past
five years. At one time he was de-
putty sheriff in the county, and was
known as a brave and fearless officer.
He was a big man and one of most
generous disposition, and numbered
his friends by the score. His funeral
will take place this afternoon from
Nevin & Graham's; interment being
in the Ely cemetery.
Ed Welch had peel with the Gil
roux for several years, and left be-
hind him many Borrowing friends
throughout the district. He was ac-
counted as one of the best of miners,
and was a genial, whole souled mar
of most generous disposition. The
remains have been held pending the
arrival of a brother from Butte, and
the funeral will probably take place
from Nevin & Graham's tomorrow
morning at 8 o'clock.
Dan Drae, wose body still lies in
the mine. was financial secretary of
the Lane City Miners union, and had
been in the district about a year and
a half.
John McNulty, whose body has not
been recovered, anne here recently
from Butte, and was not very we'll
known in the district.

trout to be distributed to the various
streams of the county. They were
brought in cans which resemble the
ordinady milk can with ventilated
tops and the temperature is kept
down to that of the mountain
streams by the use of ice. There
were about $500 of the little fish in
each AN. About 500 were placed in
the lake on the court house grounds,
and the remainder were taken to
Duck Creek, Spring Valley, Steptoe
Valley. The trout are about an inch

Contest Between Clark and
Allard for Second Promises
to Be a Ripper
BOTH MEN IN FINEST FETTLE
ALLARD Is TRAINING AT McGILL,
AND HAS HACKERS THERE
GALORE AGAINST ELY'S
FAVORITE SCRAPPER.

Joe Clark will don the mitts with
Art Allard on next Saturday night
at the Ely ball park, in a 20-round
boxing contest. This promises to be
the best go we have ever seen here
and the sports and fight fans of the
entire district will turn out in force
for the entertainment. The men will
fight clean at the break, and this
means that the mixup will be a
most scientific one.
Clark is so we'll known here that it
is not a misnomer to dub him the Ely
boy. Allard has been in the district
only a week, coming here from Butte
and is training at McGill. Clark
was seen only nice in action, and that
with Blockey Price on the fifth of
July. His exhibition on that oc-
casion won him many friends and
hackers. Price weighed more than
20 pounds heaveier than he, but
showed, after the first round that he
was not in Clark's class. Clark
showed himself a most adept boxer;
with two hands, skill and much
class.
Allard m here with the repu-
tation of being a splendid boxer, and
in his training at McGill he has
shown that he has mettle, two good
hands and a punch. He is heavier
than Joe and will &C into the ring
weighing 157 pounds, while Clark
will tip the beam at $50. Allard
was known in Anaconda to some of
the McGill boys, and in looking for a
match for Clark they settled on him.
He has been in classy bouts, and
declare him the white mans hope at
his weight. He is working hard on
the road and indoors, taking on all
Corners, and there are some pretty
stiff boxers in the smelter town. He
punches the bag, jumps rope and
boxes every afternoon, and his i'm
proyised gymnasium is packed to
the limit at every performance.
Without a doubt he is going to have
a great crowd of hackers from Nc
Gill, ready to bet all kinds of money
that he will be the victor over Clark.
Clark is down to work, good and
hard. Every morning he is out on
the road, running and walking, and
right now looks the pink of perfec-
tion. His training quarters is the
mecca for the Ely sports and fans,
and it is a fistic delight to watch him
work; punching the bag, skipping
the rope, wrestling and boxing. He
is hard as nails, and is as confident
of mastering Allard as he was that
he could give Blockey Price his coup
de grace. 1t is going to be a good
boxing contest, all right, all right,
and the public is going to get a run
for its money.

HONOR FOR THE DEAD,
PRAISE FOR THE HEROES

The district is wrapped in gloom
at the present time in consequence
of the disaster at the Giroux mine,
resulting in the loss of seven lives.
The origin of the fire which caused
this loss of life is shrouded in mys-
terry, and may never be revealed.

in all the country; and in addition,

there was the escape through the old
Alpha shaft. In spite of all pre-
caution which man could apparently
devise, a first class shaft built of first
class material, equipped with all
modern appliances, pumps, pipes,
and perfect ventilation, death
swooped down into the structure and
claimed seven victims, their lives be-
ing snuffed out like candles.
With every mine disaster usually
there comes some lesson, and on the
loss of life is built up some new ex-
p~erience which may prevent a recur-
rance of the accident. But If there
is a lesson il IS new calamity, it is
not yet apparent; it is sealed in the
shaft. 1t may be revealed when the
seals of the shafts are removed,
wien IL Is d Certainty iHdl the HIT
has been extinguished.
In the gloom of that night of dis
aster, the one bright ray was mans
humanity to a The gallant fell
lows who volunteered to brave the
fire and smoke, the uncertainty of
the depths below in the quest of
their comrodes, dead or alive, are all
heroes entitled to Carnegie medals.
Never was there a moments hesita-
ton, never a moment of doubt. In
the darkness of the night, just re-
lieved by the spluttering lights of
candles, they went down into the
tomb of death and brought up three
bodies in which life was extinct.
No claim to heroism is made by
them, nor for them. Many. many,
such scenes have been enacted by
just such men; many will be enacted
again. And without hope of reward
these gallant fellows take heir lives
in their hands; for the sake of their
fellow man. The soldier goes to the
war and to his death mayhaps; but
the thrill of martial ardor is his, and
his pride is in his country's cause.
His heart beats high in tune with
national music. He returns home a
hero; if he returns not he earns a
in the march on the enemy, impulse
and his surroundings drive fear from
his reckoning, and he plunges into
the fray rocking not of consequences,
And this is bravery.
These mel who ven down into the
Alpha shaft went on no mad i'm
pulse. There was no music, no gay
trappings: no country's glory await
ing them. They went down into the
darkness, and the minutes must have
seemed hours. They knew not what
they would encounter; they expected
to find their comrades-alive, they

II. c. BEATTIE,
Wife Murderer, Erpiated His AWfuL
Crime In the Electric Chair at 7:3O
THIS MORNING
BinfOrd Girl Protests Bedttie's In
nOcence---SeGLed StGten1et Left
Is Thought to Be Confession

RICHMOND, Va, Nov "a At
I O'Clock this morning Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr.. paid the penalty of
his crime for numbering his young
wife, while out for an auto ride
The crime was committee fer his
love for Buelah Binford, his affinity,
II years of age.
The rumor that the Binford girl
had arrived from New York, for
a certain purpose, not make known,
proved to be an idle runner, as the
young lady is in New York, and
today is physical wreck. She still
maintains that Beattie is innocent
of the crime of the murder of his
young wife and that the crime was
committed by another unknown to
the young husband. She says the
law has taken the life of an inno-
cent man.
Young Beattie awoke at $50 this
morning after a good nights rest.
He retired at $50 last evening and
soon fell into a sound slumber.
After arising he quickly completed
