ing was visited upon a dozen or
more of the employees of the Oliver
Iron Mining Company at the Nor
man pit at shortly before 6 O'Clock
on Saturday afternoon last, being
caught beneath a slide of ore of
many thousands of tons, which
came away from the bank for dis.
tance of l25 feet or more, shooting
downward with velocity that pre-
cluded escape, but half dozen of
the men in the track crew engaged
at the point escaping alive.
The death list is as yet unknown
definitely, nine bodies having been
recovered from the wreckage up to
the noon hour today, an army of
workmen being engaged in double
SHIFT work in the removal of the
mountain of ore which fills the
space which prior to the accident
was an enormous open pit. Others
are known to be buried beneath the
ore slide, the total number of dead
being probably thirteen or fourteen

lows:
State of Minnesota, County of St.
Louis, 80.
An inquisition, taken at Virginia,
in St. Louis county, on the 18th of
March, 1911, before John II. Grove,
deputy coroner OF said county, up
on view of the bodies of Nick Skun-
die, Paul Paulson, Sam Duchan Tor
Davis) and Aug. Schmidt, lying
there dead, by the oaths of the jur-
ors whose names are hereunto SUBJ
scribed, who being sworn to inquire
on behalf of the state of Minnesota
when, how, and by what means the
said persons came to their death,
upon their oaths do say:
That on the afternoon of the 11th
day of March, 1911, each and all of
the said persons were employed as
miners by the Oliver Iron Mining
Company, corporation, operating
the Norman Open Pit Niue, situat.
ed near Virginia, in St. Louis Coun-
ty, Minnesota.
That on the afternoon of the 18th
day of March, 1911, said persons
were engaged in repairing tracks
at the entrance of said Norman
mine, when they were; there and
then, buried beneath a quantity of
iron ore which, without warning,
slid from the north bank of the en-
trance to said mine, thereby caus-
ing the accidental death of each
and all of the above mentioned per-
sons.
In testimony whereof, the said
coroner and jurors of this inquest
have hereunto set their hands the
day and year aforesaid.

In several of the cases the condi-

TRADE SCHOOL and
Detention HOME
Virginia Offers Proper Location for New
Institute for DEPENDENT Children.

The state school advocated by
Supt. Bliss some weeks ago in these
columns, for dependent children
has taken somewhat definite form
in bill recently introduced into
the House by Representative c. f.
Stone of St. Paul.
The bill, appropriating $l25,OOO to
secure site and make a start on
the building was recommended to
pass the house in committee of the
whole. An attempt was made to
tack onto the bill clause to locate
the school at Morris, but this was
defeated and the bill will go before
the house without naming the site.
This school should be located in
Virgins or in some other range
town. There is a much greater need
tor such a school here on the range
than in any other part of the state,
for the reason that we have an un.
usually large number of young
children whose parents are unable
to bring them up properly, and il
is often alternative whether the
state will help their rearing while
they are young and save them az
an asset, or let them drift into lite

THE THEATERS


The Bijou theater will tonight pre-
sent a coast headliner in the dainty
person of Miss Eva Nudge, regarded
as one of the stars of vaudeville, who
has been touring in the Orpheum
(Coast) circuit, and was only secured
for the Honolulu Amusement Company
because she had some open time. she
is one of the best lightning change
artists on the stage, doing an act
which justifies her reputation. She
carries out an entire act, in which
several characters are presented, rep
resenting each one herself. For in
stance, she appears in bathing suit,
in a beach scene, drops behind a rock
and a parasol, converses with an ur-
seen Charley" and in the twinkling
of an eye Charley" appears on the
scene, but it is only Miss Nudge in her
lightning character change. She
makes several changes in her act and
sustains the characters throughout.
Miss Nudge has a star reputation on
the mainland and is one of the biggest
attractions brought to Honolulu for
some time. The Younger Brothers
will appear in a strong-man act, and
both will give an exhibition of bunch
ing their muscles. The trained lions
will be exhibited only tonight and to-
morrow night.
The Savoy will present tonight
Lowell and King, the Australian team
who will introduce their own compost
ton, 'The Blind Miner" in which
King has opportunity to show his
powers as a monologist. This is a pa
thetic scene and has many thrilling sit.
uations. The Anker Sisters, in addi-
ton to several new songs, including
"The Arabs Dream" and He's a Col
lege Boy" will dance the fascinating
Tarantella. The management has Sc
cured an unusually fine collection of
moving pictures, all new to Honolulu.
