Thirty Brave Miners Facing
Almost Certain Death Go to
Rescue Of Companions and
Are Themselves Entombed.
OTHER HEROES TO RESCUE
On Top Of the Second Disaster Still
Other LlOn-Hearted Miners ut Once
Prepare to Go Down In the Verlt-
able HelI-And These Succeeded In
Recovering the Bodies Of the Orig
lnal IS, and Those Of the 30 Res
cuers.

Conisboro, Yorkshire, England,
July 9.-Twenty heroes, including
some Of the most experienced miners
in all England went to almost GER
tain death today In a desperate eff
fort to rescue 30 miners, penned in
the lower workings of the Cadeby
mine by an explosion of gas. De-
spite the fact that all Of the 30 VIC
time Of an early morning explosion
were believed to be dead, the rescu-
ors insisted on trying to penetrate
the bottom of the gas filled workings
in the hope that some might still
be alive.
Their effort was futile, and four
additional explosions completely
shattered the shaft and shaft house,
put the hoisting and ventilatlng APP
paratus out of commission and i'm.
prisoned the entire rescue party in
the deep shaft. Late this evening It
was feared that all were dead.
The bodies of government inspec-
tors Hewitt and Pickle were later re.
covered.
After calling the roll Of the res
cuers, the mine management stated
that they feared the number that met
death in the rescue party had been
underestlmated, and that It probably
would reach not less than 60, while
some estimates we're as high as so.
Late tonight rescuers succeeded In
penetrating the lower levels of the
mine and recovered the bodies Of 80
members Of the original rescuing
party, as well as 30 bodies Of the lni-
tial victims.

Chicago, July 9.-Five more persons
were reported dead on this, the fifth
day Of the fatal heat wave. Scores of
prostrations were reported to the po-

this city.
The total death toll for the five days
here was S5 A possible thunder
shower was the only relief that could
be seen this afternoon by the local
weather bureau. The mercury today
climbed uncomfortably close to the 80
mark, and it was predicted that 1t
would go above that figure later in
the afternoon.
Thousands fled today from the heat

the shores of the lake. Many offices

ARRESTED
ON CHARGE
OF MURDER
DESERTER FROM ARMY ARREST.
ED CHARGED WITH KILLING
RAY WALLACE IN A ROOM IN
PORTLAND A MONTH AGO.

Wilfred o. Thonges, alias w. Tan
ner, was arrested at Vancouver, Wn.,
Monday, charged with the murder of
Ray w. Wallace in Portland. Tanner
was a deserter and he had voluntarily
given himself up, being in the guard
house in the military post at Van
couver when arrested.
Il didn't kill him for money, any
way"
This was virtually the only definite
thing said by Thonges In long con
versatlon with his GATORS last night,
preceded with a warning that any
thing he said might be used against
him.
az guess the girl has told you her
story, and whatever she says goes"
he added Unless this is taken as an
admission, Thonges said nothing
which throws light upon the crime.
Crime IL Traced.
On the morning Of June 10, the
keeper of a lodging house at 5O3 "
Alder street, found in a room which
had been occupied by a couple as Mr..
and Mrs w. Tanner, the body Of a
murdered man, the skull crushed in
by heavy bolt which, wrapped in
paper, lay beside the body At first
Identification was given Of the body
as that Of Ray w, Wallace, res
taurant employe of Wilkesbarre, Pa,
touring the country with his father.
The girl was known to be Hazel
Erwin, daughter OF a farmer living at
Thomas, near Albany, and through
this fact trace Of the fleeing pair was
found at Salem where they lodged
two days together in a hotel Five
days after the crime, Hazel worn from
lack OF food and deserted by her COM
panlon, was found by the Salem po-
lice and brought here to the county
Jail She told her story Of the crime,
which was that Thonges, to whom she
was not married. had caught her with
Wallace, and had struck him down In
flt OF jealous madness. She knew
nothing Of the rifllng Of the restau-
rant where Wallace worked, which
was accomplished by opening the
place with keys taken from the body
Of the murdered man.

LAND CASE, WHERE DEED WAS
BURIED FOR TWO YEARS.

Designating a deed alleged to have

Portland, in favor of W. Il. Purdy, Of
the same 'city, and conveying to the
latter valuable property In that city,
a forgery or Of having been obtained
by a trick or device, Justice Mcbride,
of the supreme court, today affirmed
the decision Of the circuit court OF
Mulmomah county in the case OF Ag-
ness Butt VS.. w. d. Purdy
Winters was an aged mlser and died
several years ago in Portland Purdy
had been identified with him in a
number Of business transactions. Az
ter his death Purdy presented to the

which he declared Winter had made
out to him couple Of years before
his death. He buried the deed in a
glass far on his ranch at Buttevilie,
and when II was presented It was dis.
covered mutilated Purdy, when he
presented It declared the deed had
been sgiven him with the understand
ing that It should not be made public
until after the death Of Winters. In
support Of the genuineness Of the deed
Purdy placed on the stand a man by

and that 1t was genuine. When the
case was argued before the supreme
court, however, It developed that Miss
Pratt did not have a notarial commits
sion at the time of the execution Of
the deed
Agness Butt, administrator Of the
estate, brought suit to have the deed
declared a forgery The circuit court
in Multnomah county held In her IA
vor, and the supreme court now sus-
tains that decision, The supreme court
in rendering the decision says in
part; The Judge Of the court
below saw and heard personally the
principal witnesses in the case, and
in that respect was much better
qualified to Judge Of their credibility
than we. There is too much mystery
and improbability in the defendants
account Of this contract for us to ac-
.cept II as true without further dis
cusslng the testimony, which Is
voluminous We are Of the opinion
that the deed questioned is not shown
to be the genuine dead Of II. W. Whit
ers but that It Is either forgery out
right or was obtained by some trick
or device whereby he affixed his name
In ignorance Of It's real nature"
