Eide immediately gave the alarm and frantically started to dig his com paniOns out, which work was ac- complished in a few moments when more men arrived on the scene. But the life had been crushed out from Burns body and although Zachrt- son was conscious, his lower eX- tremities were apparently paralyzed, and it was seen that he was fatally injured internally.

ANOTHER MAN ENTOMBED BY
 MINE CAVEIN


 Within three hours of the time that Mark Burns and Andy Zachrison were killed by falling slab on No. Il below Cleary creek, last Fri day morning, another miner was en- tombed for an hour on No. above Little Eldorado according to word reaching town last night He was, however, rescued, and has suffered no harmful results from his expert ence. The miner is Dave Sorett, employed on the lease of Samson X Pierson on the Jesse Noble ground.
 The accident by which Sorett was imprisoned was much the same as that which entombed thirteen men in d drift on lower Dome creek for thirty-siX hours several years ago, eN- cepting that all of the men who were in the Little Eldorado drift succeeded in escaping except Sorett. The usual crew was working at the face when the second square set away from the shaft broke down, al lowing the tunnel to cave in.
 When the alarm was given all Of the men who were in the drift, eX- cept Sorett, managed to get out. They did so, however, only to per ceive that the square set at the bot tom of the shaft was giving way and that the shaft itself was settling down. Each man therefore made his escape in the best way he could, all except Sorett, who had been left in the drift, managing to get on top.
 The men naturally supposed that the shaft would cave in on all sides and that it would have to be dug out again before Sorett could be reached, but luckily the flow of dirt and muck was stopped by moss placed around the cribbing of the shaft To this fact Sorett undoubtedly owes his life, for, had the shaft caved in entirely, he would have been exposed many hours underground with no food or water, before he could have been rescued. AS it was, as soon as the men saw that the shaft was in no further danger of caving in, they descended to the bottom and. after half an hour of hard work, succeed ed in shovelng a passage through the broken down tunnel to the drift in which Sorett was entombed.

The ground on which Foster X Hungerford are carrying on their ope- rations has been worked over before and was known to be dangerous. Every precaution for the protection of life and property had, however, been taken by the operators. The drift had been cribbed with tlmbers in order to prevent the coming down of slabs of dirt, the cribs being placed about ten feet apart, accord ing to report received in town from Chatanika, but it was between two of these supports that the large mass Of thawed earth and gravel came down, crushing out the lives of the two miners.
 Carl Eide and another man were in the drift at the time that the slab came down. Eide was engaged in carrying water from the drift, which is understood to be lower than the stump hole in the shaft to the stump, while the other man was at the bucket Eide barely escaped death, for. as he was going from the shaft back to the drift the slab fell, missing him bare two inches
 The men had just started work when the slab came down. One bucket of dirt had been sent to the surface and Burns was sitting on his filled wheelbarrow waiting to wheel out Zachrison's wheelbarrow was also filled and he was picking down in the face. Then the dirt fell, completely covering Burns with the exception of one hand and coy a ing Zachrison to the shoulders.

NINANA HAVING
 SCHOOL FIGHT

NENANA, Sept. 13.-Nenana is having it's first school row It seem ed at first that everything pertain ing to the schools was to go along smoothly, but such is evidently not to be. The beginning of the real row started tonight with the an. nouncement of the candidacy of three people who will run independently for positions on the school board They are J. D. O'Neil, Mrs. M s. Love and Mrs. Matt Sweeney.
 Several weeks ago when it was first decided that Nenana was to have a school, a caucus of the citi- zens was held to determine what should be done regarding school gov ernment It was at that time decid- ed that five members should con stitute the school board and five
  announcement made tonight it was supposed that they would be elected when the election was held, or on September IS, but it now seems that they are to have opposition. Those first nominated were George w. Pen nington, Mrs. M. J, Cooney, John Brevig, Fred Major and Dr. D. H. More.
 It is understood that the trouble arose over the fact that one mem Der of the first five nominated took the management of the five in hand and gave it to be understood that an Outside young lady was to be em- ployed as teacher. This high-handed manner Of 'ings, it is stated, proved c to some of the remainin- id also to other residents us N.LaAa, consequently the three independent candidates have been anounced It is understood that those who have lately announced themselves as candidates for the school board do so for the reason that there are approximately ten ap plications in for the position of teacher from Nenana and Fairbanks, and that they believe in the employ ment of home talent rather than in sending Outside for teachers.
 In this connection it might be stated that complete plans for the school house will be ready for in spection by all who care to see them, tomorrow evening. The dimensions of the floor space will be forty by seventy-five feet. There will be three rooms and a basement to the struc- ture. Townsite Manager Fred S. Ryus states that he will call for bids for constructing the building day after tomorrow

Salem Alien Enemies
May Require Permits

Under the new law passed by con.
gress relative to alien enemies who are
resident in this country prohibiting
them from passing through or approach
ing an area around government armor
les within one half mile of the build
ing, aliens in Salem who have not Sc
cured permits from the government will
scarcely be able to pass through the
city on account of the situation of the
Salem armory.
In Portland the rush of aliens for
permits to pass through prescribed ter
ritory has been great. 1t is believed the
same situation holds in Salem in re-
gard to the armory here.
The law provides that unless the
alien enemy registers before June l and
secures a permit to pass within the
one half mile limit he is subject to
summary arrest. The alien enemy ex-
clusion order was issued with refer
enee to the Portland armory by Unit
ed States District Attorney Reames on
