FALLS DOWN SHAFT
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
,(From SUNDAYS Dailv)

( Prof. William Linden was brought
to his home in this city Friday
night after passing through one OF
the most thrilling experiences in
avertinp death by drowning that
seldom ovcrtakes any one.
He is severely. but it is said. not
dangerously injured. after falling
down the shaft of the old Cotton
wood mine on Groom Creek. that
he was to examine. with the view
of beginning development. His in
jurics are many, and from contact
with the walls of the shaft in his
dcsccn,. and the falling tinbcrs
and formation, he has fractured
rib that is lodged on his lung. and
his back. head. arms and legs are
badly bruised.
In relating his experiences he
states that he went to the mine and
stepped up to the collar OF the shaft
with the intention OF going down
on the old ladder As he was in
the act of STOPPING over. the for
nation gave way under his feet, and
instantly he was precipitated be-
low 20 the water line. distant about
thirty feet The formation that cav
cd in seemed to have disturbed the
mine timbcrS near the surface. and
in lew seconds they we're loosen
ed from their moorings and COM
menced to fall on his body. as nc
was struggling in the water.
According to his version of the
accident, he faced 4 perilous situa-
ton, first in struggling to keep his
head above the water. clinging to Il
timber. and in the next instant to
keep out OF range of the falling
missiles. Finally he was able to gain
a foothold when he began VAIN
effort to reach the surface. The
ladder was intact up t. the sixth
set. but above that point there was
nothing that remained OF the tim
bcrS by which he could secure an
anchorage 1t was at this time he
realized the peril OF his situation.
and with his injuries causing him very
much pain. he continued to battle
Tor freedom with slow progress. Be
ing 4 powerful man physically, he
commenced TO gather up the TIM
bers. and placed them in position
as best he could. and after ten sue
ressiye attempts he finally got to
the surface. exhausted.
At this time team was passing
by. when he was taken to the home
Of Mrs w, \. Stortz. who kindly
provided for him in many necessi-
lies. Mr. Linden went to the shaft
1t 900 o'clock in the morning. and
when he rescued himself it was
o'clock in the afternoon. Nearly
al of that time he was strenuous
y excrting every physical effort
It his command. first in the water,
md then in clinging to the side OF
he shaft. The attending physicians
ire hopeful for his early recovery, /
md the only alarm they feel is that
lis long exposure in the icy water
nay possibly result in pneumonia.
asst night he was resting COM
ortably.

For Murder.
Francisco Torres will be arraigncd
charged with the murder OF his fcl-
low workman, Mcrieildo Naredo,
near Crookton on January %. Ac-
cording 10 the dying deposition OF
the victim in the county hospital
four days after the shooting oc-
Cured, Torres and his victim were
walking toward the wood camp
where they were employed.
Torres was armed with a twenty
two rifle. \ rabbit WAS spicd.
Torres shot, but missed by a wide
margin.
You're some shooter" tainted
Naredo. The remark cost him his
life, for Torres turned about cnraged,
leveled his rifle at Naredo and let
fly, the bullet puncturing his intcs-
tines several times before coming
out through the back.
The victim was removed to the
county hospital but he was beyond
hope of recovery. Just what the
defense will maintain is 4 matter
open to conjecture. but it is be-
lieved that the shooting will be
based upon the theory OF an acct
dent. F. /. Haworth has been
named rs counsel by the court.
Tor Assault With Deadly Weapon. /
When Sam Meek. a colored boot /

Of the same place entered into

Meek took exception to remarks
by Stevens, who wanted shoe
shine and words led to blows,
Meek finally drawing a knife and
performing effectively on his VIC
TINS anatomy. Stevens required
several weeks vacation, during
which time he recureralcd from the
effects OF his encounter in the coun-
y hospital.

Big List of Rooms
and Garages at the
Information Bureau

Accommodations for nearly 1000 people
and several hundred automobiles have
already been listed by the information
bureau which the Ak-Sar-Ben and the
Bureau Of Publicity have established at
1913 Howard street for the benefit of Ak
Sar-Ben visitors. A card system is
maintained for the filing of names AMI
addresses of persons who have a spare
room they are willing to throw open
during the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities to &C
commodate some of the visitors who
cannot find room in the hotels Of the
city.
Since the bureau has been opened the
two telephones have been ringing almost
constantly, and persons have listed
rooms rapidly. Most of them are willing
TO serve breakfast also, which is much
desired by the Ak-Sar-Ben authorities
as most visitors like TO get breakfast
where they room. Thus far no exorbi-
tant prices are asked by those who have
listed rooms and volunteered breakfast
In most cases the prices listed are 80 to
70 cents per head for sleeping quarters
and 25 cents for breakfast
Because it is becoming more and more
OF custom to drive 20 Omaha in auto
mobiles for Ak-Sar-Ben, this bureau IS
also collecting a list OF garages that
will have accommodations for the ma
chimes at night. About a dozen are al
ready listed. with accommodations for
from a dozen to fifty machines each.
Thus. II persons coming in for the
festivities will call at this information
bureau the first thing, they will save
themselves a lot of useless running
around in the city in search of rooms
and other accommodations. The bureau
is lust east of Sixteenth street. on How
ard, and just few dozen PAGES from
the big white main entrance arch OF the
carnival grounds.

bessie REPORTS ON MILK
Complains He is Unable to Secure
Convictions in Police Court,
MOST DIARIES ARE CLEAN
Average of Butterfat stands Up Wen
and the Report on Cleanliness
Also shows Considerable
Improvement.

In his report for the month Of Septem-
Der, Claude f. Bessie, milk inspector.
complains of not being able to secure
convictions in police court when he has
dairymen arrested for violation Of the
various requirements OF the law. In
writing of this phase Of the situation,
Bessie, in his report to Health Commits
sioner Connen, says:
'Of the ninety-six cases tried this year
in this court fifty-three. or slightly over
IS per cent of the cases. the defendants
were discharged, although DR.. Crowley
testified that the samples were positively
adulterated; thirty-one, over 50 per cent,
were given suspended sentence, one In
dividual having three suspended SEN
fences imposed In as many consecutive
months. Only eleven. or II per cent were
compelled to pay a fine. One case was
appealed to the district court, where We
secured a conviction, the judge trying
said case stating from the bench that
where the evidence was so conclusive the
inspectors should be supported. The evil
dence in all of these cases was substan-
italy the same. viz, the samples were
taken by the Inspector, tested by DR.. c.
f. Crowley, one of the most competent
chemists in this country, and tho result
testified to by him. First offenders were
let off with a warning letter from the
health office. These were all cases OF
second offenders and so stated to the
police magistrate.

hle to- exercise too much, as we'll as too little, and the professional ath- lete's desire to excel and gain glory and cash often leads him to excess. In the third place. the professi onal athlete is hailed as a. hero, and, if he will permit it, he will be led by him admirers into all varieties of dis sipations.
 Take the professional boxers. as an
 example. The ring gladiator, more than any other athlete, associates
 with a class of men addicted to the consumption Of booze in large Quan- titles, and few of them are able to resist the temptation to drink to ex- cess. Tn spite of this general failing, however, and in spite of the fact that most boxers often have to undergo sieges of training to take off flesh which are nothing short of cruel, most professional boxers probably live long CT than the average man who takes no exercise but is temperate in his hab- it's.
 There is John L. Sullivan, who used to entertain an ambition to keep ali the d1stil1eries in the world working O. nights. In his youth John L. was nothing but an animated sponge. A week of such life as he lived would have put the average man down for the final count, but John L.. survived
 1t and now, at hfty-six he is hale and hearty and a temperance lecturer. Mike Donovan, who is nearing the three-score and ten mark, fought in the ring with bare knuckles for over sixteen years, and has been boxing instructor ever since. There are sew eral living ex-boxers who are past the three-score and ten mark. Jem Mace, Jem Ward and several other famous boxers, lived to eighty or more, while the list of septuagenar1ans of ring history includes Barney Aaron, the old lightweight champion; Dooney Harris, Bill Clark, John Pyburn, John. Morrissey, Ed Price, Joe Coburn, Tom Oliver, Bin TaHee, Tom flyer, Pat Kelly, Dublin BiIl'' Hastings, Jim, Dunn, and a host of others.
 It has been nearly thirty years since the professional six day walking game began to decline, yet a great majority of the champion pedestrians of those ing, and able to walk faster and far ther than the majority of youngsters although those relics of an antique sport are mostly past sixty, and sew eral past seventy.
 It has been declared that few men who have won athletic glory in Amer ican colleges lived past middle age, and this is probably true. One req son is that American college athletes habitually overwork, in their eager ness to win honors for t'the old coll, ''- and thus weaken their hearts and put too heavy a strain on their hearts An. other reason, and most probably the principal one, is that most college men plunge into business or profes- sional life and become so engrossed in 1t that they soon neglect to exer- else. The fact that a man has been an athlete in his youth can't be ex- pected to save him from the penalties
 of wrong living in later years. The boy who exercises moderately and right starts life with an excellent cap ital, but he can soon squander it.
