STILL L|NR|VER
Is Year Old Son of Major
Miller Loses Life Above
Salem Sunday-Bo
Not Yet Located. :.


Melford Miller, 15 years Of age,

ant adjutant general of the state

Willamette river, about a mile and
a half above Salem yesterday aft
ernoon about $3.50 O'Clock while
he and three companions were in
swimming.
Efforts of the other lads, John
Varley, Phil Varley and Robert
Halvorsen, to rescue young Miller
when he cried out for help were
unavailing. Only once after he
shouted for assistance did he come
to the surface and then sank again
almost Immediately.
A rescuing party was formed
shortly after the tragedy had been
reported and the river was drag
ged both last night and this morn
ing. The current was fairly swift
where the boy sank and this after
noon efforts to locate the body had
brought no results.
According to reports of Miller's
companions, the lads had, prior to
the drowned, been swimming in
quiet water and John Varley and
young Miller had Just determined
to try the swifter portion Of the
river when the tragedy came. Var
ley was swimming in the lead and,
Just before he reached the cur
rent, he tutrned to Miller and ask
ed IL he was all right.
Fine" Miller was reported to
have answered. IF l drown It's
my own fault"
A few seconds later he was, ap-
parently, the victim of a cramp
and before the boys could assist
him he had sunk beneath the cur
rent for the last time.
Young Miller was said to be
good swimmer.

BURGLAR SAYS
WRONG MAN TO
Be HANGED

Des Moines, Ia., Sept. Ara
Pavey, sentenced to be hanged
Friday for the murder of Claude
Litner of Sioux city, is innocent
of the crime, and Red" Bursette,
Sioux City man, recently killed by
detectives there, is the real slay-
er, according TO an affidavit made
by Ray Hughes, convicted burglar
now serving a 10-year sentence at
Fort Madison.
Hughes statement was received
by friends in Des Moines, and
shown to Governor Wendall in
the hope that the executive could
stay Fridays execution.
Governor Kendall said he was
satisfied that all the evidence was
brought out at the trial OF Payey
and he would not intervene.
Hughes, who claims to have
been a friend of Red" Brrsette,
declared in his statement that the
latter had confessed the crime for
which Pavey Is to hang. The con
fession took place In woods six
miles south of Troely, Mimi, in
1919, he declared.
Sioux City police give little
credence to Hughes claims and
declare 1t unlikely that Bursette
would ever confess such a crime
to anyone had he committed it.

MINERS HEAR
FIVE BLASTS
FROMDEPTHS
Rescue Crew Positive Sig
mails Answered by Inn
prisoned Men; Mine Of
ficials Don't Confirm.

Jackson, Cal, Sept. 4.When
the night rescue crew came to the
surface at the Kennedy mine this
morning. coming Off duty, several
of the men declared that when
two signal blasts were fired on
the S700 foot level last night,
they are positive that they were
answered by five distinct explos-
ions coming from the depths Of
the Argonaut.
The miners declare that the
sounds could not have been caus-
ed by falling rock. 1t would have
been impossible to hear such
sounds through the thick walls Of
stone that separate the two mines
they say.
Mine officials still refuse to
comment on the statements OF the
miners or to give out anything Of
fetal on the report.
Refuse to Confirm
Refusal OF the authorities 10
confirm or deny the rumors OF
blast signals coming from the
Argonaut has led many to give
them credence. The uncertainty OF
the officials as to the real cause
OF the sounds heard, II is believed,
prompts them to withhold the
statements. The mine officials are
very chary about raising false
hopes.
At the 370O foot level Of the
Kennedy, where no men are work
ing, signal blasts are being fired
every four hours in the hope that
the entombed miners may be still
alive and, hearing them, will
take heart from the knowledge
that rescuers are working In
their direction
In the depths of the Kennedy
mine brave hearted miners, strip
ped to the waist and perspiring
like prize fighters in the ring,
are working like mad, endeavor-
ing to cut their way through in
to the lower levels OF the Argo-
naut, where Al men have been
since midnight last
Sunday night by fire at the
5000 foot level which cut off
heir escape.
Air Drills Working
Saturday night, for the first
ime, the workers were able TO
)ut the air drills into action
lgainst the face of the hard green
tone of the cross cut on the
1900 foot level of the Kennedy.
Marvellous progress was made
through this formation. the hard
st with which miners in the
mother lode section have to con-
end. 1t Is estimated that there
5 fifty feet of green stone 10 cut
through. Last night 20 feet had
cen gone through and IT was ex-
ected that today's statement
'ould show further gratifying
dvances.
After cutting through the
reen stone. the rescuers have
90 feet OF old drift ahead, but 1t

ondition and will not seriously
