The home OF James Mills, husband
of the slain choir leader, was search
ed yesterday for a revolver. None
was found. No search has been
made OF the Hall premises.
The authorities worked today on
the theory that the couple were
lured 10 their death. II Is known
that both Mrs. Mills and the Rev.
Mr.. Hall received mysterious tele-
phone calls before they left their
homes Thursday evening. Whether
they called each other or we're called
by unidentified parties remains to
be determined.
A guard was placed at the door Of
the rector's study in the church TO-
day to prevent outsiders from going
in. This gave rise to the belief that
authorities believe the murders were
committed in the church and the
bodies carted away.

Today the mining town OF jackson
mourned it's dead. In the relaxation
of the grief that followed the twenty
two days OF struggle to break into
the Argonaut from the Kennedy mine
the knowledge that the effort was
vain, that all the men were already
dead hours before the first shovel
full of earth was removed in the
drift, has come with an irony too
bitter to be borne.
The men were alive but dying at
o'clock on the morning Of August 2S.
BY 4 o'clock they were in the EN-.
brace of death, huddled bodies lying
still.
This fact was established by two
notes, one from William Fessel,
miner and chemist, and father OF O
family, who perished, and the other
from an unknown hand.
Fessel's note was burned deep into
! the wood on the innermost OF the
two bulkheads which the men fran
tically had constructed TO keep out
the gas. He had used the flame OF
| his tiny miners carbide lamp anj
had scared the wood with this mes

A second note, a pencIled scrawl,
was picked up on the wet floor OF
the drift. It read:
"3 o'clock, Too much gas"

had endeaVored to write a message
at 4 O'Clock. but the gas had alrea ~

CorpsAs In Two Rows.
Two rows Of oorpses, lying side by
side. were ranged along the drift be-
hind the second bulkhead. The mcr
had stripped off their clothing tc
plug the bulkhead and were nakei
One row OF bodies was In the main
drift and the other ~ the entry OF u
fork or cross cut departing from the
main drift at that point. To thi,
underground cross roads the en-
trapped miners had crept In their n
deavor to wall themselves into safety
from the fire. and that SUPPOSED
place OF refuge become their common
grave.
The bodies were not emaciated
and their position showed that the
men had laid down side by side, like
brothers, TO die. The second or inner
bulkhead was but partially built.
This bulkheed was loosely put uT
across the tunnel. It's tin1bers hnC
gaping spaces between them and Il
offered no protection against noxiou'

- Men Climbed Too High.
II Is thought the men we're over
come while building the bulkhend
, They had climbed too high in th'
mine. This fact had caused theii
death.
II was possible by simple evidence
TO reconstruct the picture OF wha
had happened.
Working, as Is known. on the 4.5oo

ascended by manways or by ladder
of the main shaft to the 1850 level

Eggs Drop p Cents
A Dozen in Two Weeks
Slump in Price Laid to Unusual
Production Because of the
Warm Weather

The great reduction in the whole
sale prices Of the varying brands Of
eggs has increased the demand, ac-
cording to statement issued yester-
day by the State Department Of Farms
and Markets. Some stores however,
are charging profteering prices.
AT the end of the week the best white
eggs from nearby commercial hennercs
were selling wholesale at as cents a
dozen; the best brown eggs sold from
- 70 IS cents. The price for white
eggs is % cents less than two weeks
ago.
Egg producers in this state are in a
state OF CONSERVATION. it is said, be-
cause Of the state of the market, some
of them declaring it spells ruin and
being of the belief that they are the
victims OF sinister manipulation.
The State Department of Farms and
Markets, however, explains the condl-
ton Of the market as being that the
production of fresh eggs is much
heavier than usual because of the un-
usually warm weather. Cold storage
warehouses contain nearly three times
the number of eggs held at this time
last year.

that 10 per cent. as net return to an
owner OF zeal property is not unreason-

excessive if the evidence showed a diff

We are unable to say in this case
that g return of over s per cent to the
landlord as a result of the jury's YER

more fitting that such man should go
