Evidently the Indians were so trou-
blesome as to interrupt all traffic with
Santa Fe and the more western forts.
The slowness of their progress was
on account of the General, whose con
dition became worse in spite OF Fair
bain's assiduous attentions. With no
medicine the doctor could do but little
to relieve the sufferings OF the older
man. although he declared that his

Keith, fretting more and more over
this necessary delay, and now OBJ

must have reioined his party on the

finally broke away from the others
and rode ahead. to gather together the
necessary horses and supplies in ad-

there was no guessing to what ex
tremes the desperate might resort.
The possibilities OF such situation
made the slightest delay In rescue an
agony almost unbearable. Reaching
Carson City, and perfectly reckless as
TO his own safety there from arrest,
the plaiDsman lost no time in perfect
ing arrangements for pushing for
ward. Horses and provisions were pro
cured. and he very fortunately discov-
cred in town two cowboys belonging
to the Bar X" outfit. their work there
accomplished and about ready to re-
turn to the ranch on the Canadian,
who gladly allied themselves with his
party, looking forward to the posi-
bilities Of fight with keen anticipa
ton. Keith was more than ever de
lighted with adding these to his outfit.
when. on the final arrival OF the 9th
ers. the extra man brought from Sher-
idan announced that he had had
enough, and was going to remain
there. No efforts made revealed any
knowledge OF Hawley's presence in
Carson City: either he had not been
there. or else his friends were very
carefully concealing the fact. The ut
ter absence of any trace. however. led
Keith TO believe that the gambler had
gone elsewhere-probably to Fort
Larned-for his new outfit, and this
belief left him more fully convinced
than ever Of the fellows efforts TO
conceal his trail.
The party escorting Waite reached
the town in the evening, and in the
following gray dawn the adventurers
forded the river, and mounted on fresh
horses and fully equipped, headed
forth into the sand hills. The little
company now consisted Of Keith, Fair

MINER TO BITS
WALLACE MAN SMOKES PIPE
WHILE CARRYING POWDER
AND LOSES HIS LIFE.

Wallace, Oct. Especial. 1.-The
body Of John Ferrari, a miner at the
Success property, was found yesterday
morning by his companions, blown al
most to shreds. and identified only by
means of articles of clothing and the
few personal effects carried at the time
he met death in an explosion. It is
believed the accident was due to his
carelessness in smoking a pipe while
carrying a box of powder. He was
seen by companions entering a drift,
and reminded by one of them of the
danger OF carrying the open box of
powder The warning was not heed
ed, however. and the matter was for
gotten until, few minutes later a
terrific explosion was felt in every
part OF the mine. Rushing into the
drift where Ferrari was known to have
gone, the miners found only the blood
smeared walls and small pieces of
flesh and bone to mark the spot where
the unfortunate man had stood.
Ferrari was an Italian and had a
wife and child in his native country.
He has worked in the Success for
about two years.
