It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon before the engine could be made to work, and the men underground had been prisoners for many hours. A dozen men were lowered down the shaft and in two hours the de- bris had been cleared away and the im- prisoned men were all holsted to the sur- face, where they were greeted with cheers and fell into the arms of the methbers of their families, who were anxiously’ awalt- ing them on the surface.

BISBEE, Ariz., Aug. 24.—Fifteen miners were imprisoned in a shaft of the Lake Superior and Pittsburg mine at Bisbee from daylight until long after dark on Sunday, and were saved only by the he- roic efforts of their comrades.

Convict Murphy who was captured Sun- day night was more loquacious to-day and in talking of his flight said: I was tired out from a hard trip and came | | to town to rest up. I knew it was foolish, but | we decided to take the chance. I put my gun inside of my overalls before I came upon the street to get it out of sight. Deputy Maxwell took an awful chance 2s I tried to get my gun, | but he was too quick for me and too strong when he took hold of me. T was taking no chances and would have certainly killed him if he had been a moment slow. When Sharkey fired I thought Miller was killed—you_all know that Miller has been with me. I met him at Lake Tahoe. When Maxwell opened up I thought at first he was shooting at me and told him then he was a hit fety concerning their own safety was not relieved until they were able to call to the miners who had been lowered into the shaft and could hear thelir response. The men were imprisoned in three different levels, and being separated could not com- municate with each other. They suffered some from hunger, and in one level where the water supply ran out they suffered a great deal from thirst. The men were im- prisoned in the hole for more than six- teen hours. The news that the men were held prisoners by the cave-in and the dls- abling of the machinery spread like wild- fire over Bisbee and caused a great deal of excitement, attracting a great many people to the scene. The crowds hindered the rescuers in their work and had to be forced back by the mine police. The opera. tion of the mine has been suspended until the necessary repairs can be made. ——————— Meets Death Mysteriously.

Sacramento Gnnerury Begins In- quiry Into Folsom Prison Break. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 24—The Grand Jury to-day began an Investigation into the recent break at Folsom Prison with the view primarily to fix the responsibility of the death of Willlam Cotter, the guard doorstep until his wife discovered that he bad a great lump at the back of his head. In reply to her questions he said he would | tell her on the morrow how he came by his injurfes. Berglund lapsed into uncon- sclousness, however, and died yesterday morning. It is thought that the cause of death was a fracture of the skull. The Coroner will investigate the mysterious case.
