AMONG LOCAL MINES
News and Notes of Happenings in
aud Around Mining Camps.

The Central Iowa Fuel company
completed negotiations with Fred
Kenney Monday, by which the former
comes into possession of the latter's
l60-aCre farm, two miles from Olmitz,
the location of No. 2 shaft The com
pany wanted this for a site for the
new coal town they propose to buIid,
and as other shafts are sunk they will
be worked by men residing there,
work trains heading at the new town.
This location is eleven miles from
Charlton and it is the intention of the
company to begin building immediate
ly in order to have houses for theii'
men who work in that quarter Not
long since the company erected TWEEN
ty houses at Olmitz-but these are
needed for those who are compelled
to remain near the works.
The Consolidated Indiana company's
mine at Electra, near Melcher, is en-
joying an exceptionally good streak Of
work at the present time, notwith-
standing the fact that the mine is in
the hands of receivers. The record on
work IS an average of nearly five days
per week and an output of from $50
to 500 tons per day. The total daily
average number of men in the pit is
SON thing above 200.
The shutting down of the power at
the mines last Saturday owing to a
leaky boiler, deprived both the towns
of Melcher and Dallas of lights last
Saturday night 1t also closed the NOV
lie shows at Dallas for the time.

CITY HORSE IN
BURST OF SPEED
LINE SNAPPED WHILE SPECIAL
OFFICER HALL WAS DRIVING
AND THIS FRIGHTENED THE
ANIMAL-HAsN'T BEEN FOUND.

About 8:15 o'clock last night, the
horse used by the police department,
which was hitched to a buggy and
driven by Special Odicer Hall, took
fright at the corner of Ninth avenue
and Intendencia street, and ran at
full speed along that narrow thorough
fare, lodging drays, autos. buggies,
etc., successfully, until DeVilliers
street was reached, when some object
was struck and one OF the shafts was
broken off short. The animal kept on
it's maddening run. and the last heard
from it was when 1t passed over the
bridge at Bayou Chico. 1t is believed
the horse will be taken UP and re-
turned this morning.
The horse took fright when one OF
the lines snapped off short. AS soon
as he could, Offcer Hall left the We
hicle, standing not on the order of
his leaving. either. and sustained quite
a shock when he struck the ground,
not, however, feet first.
AS the horse tore westward on In
tendencia street, 1t passed within
inches of standing or moving vehicles.
but struck none Of them. The run
away created quite bit Of excite
ment.
