MINER FALLS IN
 BOILING WATER
Dies Two Hours Later From Effects of ScaIding-Doctor Too Late
 to Relieve Pain.

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 24.-Shortly be- fore quitting time Saturday afternoon, Thomas Overland, an operator on No. 8 below Fairbanks creek, fell off platform, while working in a shaft,
 into a hole containing boiling water and died from his injuries about two hours later. Dr. c. E. Danforth, who
 was summoned soon after the accident happened, arrived about half hour after the mans death and expressed
 the opinion that the injured man had
 died of heart failure, brought on by
 the sudden shock, and after making
 an investigation stated that he did not
 think an inquest would be necessary Overland and partner, John Pet erscn. were sinking a shaft on the
 property on which they had lay and were thawing the bottom of the hole
 by flooding it with boiling water which was heated by steam. The unf0rtun- ate man was working on a. platform
 short distance above the bottom of
 the shaft and in some unaccountable manner was knocked into the boil ing water which was about or 10 inches deep. It is thought, however, that the accident was caused by some falling dirt.
 He was soon taken out of the boil ing water and after being assisted out
 of the shaft the injured man was able to walk to the home of William Ger bracht on the upper end of the claim, where he was given assistance until the arrival of doctor It was found that he had fallen face downward it. the hot water and received severe burns about the face, arms and legs He must have swallowed some of the hot water as the inside of his mouth appeared to have been burned and he
 was unable to talk distinctly. After he had received treatment he walked back to his own cabin and walked about the cabin just short time be- |
 him at the time of death stated that
 he died quietly and suddenly.
 Overland was P years old and a
 native of Norway He came to Amer ica when he became of age and ar rived in the Fairbanks district about three years ago, since which time he
 has been working on Fairbanks creek A short time ago he took a lay on
 below and was sinking shaft for the purpose of taking out winter dump at the time death overlook him. A
 brother who resided in this district
 few years ago now resides in Mon-
 tana and has been communicated
 with regarding the death. The body
 of the deceased man was brought to
 Fairbanks yesterday and unless in-
 structions are received to the con-
 trary. will be given interment in the
 local cemetery.

publish the names of the petitioners, as required by law. The Going act makes ir necessary for the saloonists to publish the saloon petitions at least ten days before presenting them to the county court. This will re- suit in th@ saloons closing for ten days after January 1, unless District Attorney Parham should grant them ten days to do business before the county court acts on the petitions.
 It is well known that the liquor interests Lave nearly 4,0O0 signers for saloons in this city and that they are confiGen of success. The pres ent county and state licenses expire on December 31, 1913. Unless a special privilege is granted by Dis trict Attorney Parham giving them the right to operate temporarily without license, pending decision by the county court, Pine Bluff will be dry for ten days in January, if not permanently.
 Should fudge Philpot, of the county court, grant the prayers of the peti- tioners for licenses for 1914, it. is expected that the anti-saloon workers will take the case to higher court. The licenses would be granted and hte saloons could operate until the higher aol,, passed on the case. Then if the decision should be unfavorable, the saloon men would take it to even a higher court, where it would re- quire some months to get decision. In the u'4antime the saloons would be operating as now. If the decision of the highest court is favorable the saloon men would find that it would be necessary to get up another majority petition, for the twelve months would have nearly passed and licenres for 1915 would have to be secured.
 The ac';on of the liquor interests in delaying the publication of the petitions is said to be on the advice of attornc7s, who have given the mat ter mucn thought and investigation.

AID GIVEN TO REBELS
GunbOat Commanders are Ordered to Di>ohcy tdmiralS Commands
 Even ii it Means Destruction

Mexico City, Fec. l3-R Reports re- ccivcd here regarding Admiral flcv- chcr's actions al Tampico yesterday, nave aroused strong resentment i'll
 government circles and there is strong
 'eason to believe that an emphatic protest will be made to Washington if
 { has not already bepn made.
 The complaint will say that Admiral Fletcher not only used threats to pre-
 tcnt the Mexican gunboals assisting in the defense of the city from the
 'ebel attack, but that he also maueuv- cred his warships at the mouth of the Tanuco river so as 10 prevent the Mexican Gunboats Vera Cruz from
 andng troops, arms and ammunition
 from non yesterday until o'clock in
 the afternoon. II will also be charg ed that the American Warships nave used their scarehlights at night in such a way as 10 show the rebels the federal positions. Such actions, it is claimed. are evidence that intervention has begun. unless satisfactory eX- o'anation is given immediately. The commanders of the Mexican gllnboats at Tampico were given or i lers today to upheld Mexican dignity at all hazards and not to take any or ders from Admiral Fletcher, even ij ! refusal means self destruction.

HOSPITAL BAZAAR
 ON DECEMBER 16
Last Request of Miss Mary Roberts For Endowment Fund To Be
 Complied With.

When Mss Mary Roberts was talk en to the Davis Hospital, stricken with paralysis, she handed Mrs. Robert Vance a little pocket book saying, "When I pass away give this to Mrs. Crawford for the Davis Hospital and tell her to use it in a way to do most good for poor wom- en-" The week before, Miss M. E.. Mccoy sent for Mrs. Crawford and gave her a handsome embroidered table cover, saying, "I want the money this cover brings to be the beginning of an endowment, fund for the Davis Hospital" This caused the ladies of the Association to de- eide to sart the Mary Roberts En- downment Fund. There were seven dollars and "a half in the little purse, but several friends have contributed to the fund. Mrs. o. M. Lyon had in trust fund for Miss Roberts burial expenses and she has turned over fifty dollars to this fund. The two hundred and fifty dollars won in the Little Rock Democrat contest and the hundred and fifty dollars and forty cents, proceeds of the Hospital Bazaar D. 1912, makes this fund over $500 hundred dollars.
 The bazaar to be held December 16 at the home of Mrs. J. W. Crawford. No. 63O Chestnut street. is for the Mary Roberts Endowment Fund. Miss Roberts life was one of self sacrifice, ministeriny to the sick and afflicted, 20 this is fitting memorial. The Davis Hospital is a public in- stitution and great benefit to hu- manity and every person should con-
 sider it a privilege to contribute something to this endowment. All who wish to help this cause will please send contributions Monday December IS. to Mrs. Crawford and on Tuesday 18th encourage by your presence at the Bazaar. Mrs. John lL. Mills has the endowment Fund in ! charge.
