FIVE MEN LOSE LIVES IN MINE leased From the 400-Foot Level by Fall of Bulkhead —_ Special Dispatch to PRESCOTT, Ariz., Apri result of an explosion in the United Verde mine at Jerome, owned by Sen- five men are dead and seven if not fatally Injured. happened just as the e Call. | 2. the The accident shifts w being changed, and all the men except twelve had been raised to the surface. ere waiting at the station of th -foot level to be hoist- | ed from the r e when a terrific explo- | slon occurred, killing five instantly and injuring seven others. | On account of the recent heavy rains | surface water found its way to that portion of the mine where fire has been | smoldering several years. The steam | thus generated caused the explosion, | which blew out the bulkheads erected to keep the fire from spreading. The | men were suffocated by smoke and steam. Had the accident happened fif- teen minutes sooner 100 men would have been caught. Fifteen minutes | later the new shift would have been at | | work. The explosion caused the mine to cave from the surface, and the rails ofl the rallroad, which crosses the r\rr)p-} erty, were twisted in every conceivable | shape. The mine company has had | trouble with fire for years and had| constructed a cement bulkhead, which ; it was thought would keep it under control for years. This was destroyed. 1 { | The dead: T. W.

N. 3 A lone highwayman made a bold at- tempt to hold up Arthur Hewett, bar- tender of the Cafe Nome Saloon, Pacific street, about 3 o'clock yesterday | afternoon. The scene of the crime was | the Cafe Nome. The only person pre: ent besides the highwayman and his intended quarry was Morris Learney, who is employed in a fruit store at 111 Clement street. 525 and arrested the highwayman. Shortly after three o'clock a man about five feet six inches tall walked | in. He stood fronting Hewett, and, pulling a revolver, he pointed it at| Hewett and said, hell out with the} cdough.” Hewett laughed and told the; little man to said the robber, o away. “Look here,” “I mean business” | his finger caressed the trigger in a sig- Hewett turned pale | | nificant manner. and pulled olt the cash drawer. * Learney had been in a side room and | he ran out of the saloon and notified | Policemen R. G. Skain and A. Holmes of the hold-up. They were only a few feet away and when they rushed into the saloon Hewett had a handful of coin in his hand, which he was_going to turn over to the robber. Skain and Holmes grabbed the robber, | who swung the muzzle of the revolver toward Skain's abdomen. Before he could fire Skain placed his forefinger against the trigger and after a scuffle he and Holmes succeeded in wresting the revolver from the fiend. At the city prison the robber was impudent and refused to give his name. A bank bock of the Union Bank of tedlands with the name ‘“Joseph Mil- ler” was taken from his pocket and he admitted that it was his name. It showed a deposit of $195 on March 18 last and a subsequent withdrawal $113. He was booked on a charge of attempt to commit robbery. All the n he had was 75 cents. The revol- ver was loaded in every chamber. box of cartridges was found in his pocket. Miller said he came from Redlands | abeut two weeks ago to get work as a cook, but further than that he refused to say anything about himself or why be madg an attempt to hold up the bartend¢r. He had evidently been drinking, and while in prison asked for a flask of whisky, as he sald he needed it badly. The police think he is an old crook. He gives his age as 33 years | but looks older.

Henderson of the firm of Stevens & Henderson, cotton speculators, having offices in New York, Kentucky and Havre. It is believed | Stevens is in America. The men are charged with conspiracy with intent to defraud. The firm closed its doors last Thursday. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 2—The business of the Louisville office of Ste- vens & Henderson was brought to the notice of detectives and postoffice offi- cials as long ago as August 23, 1904. On that date a Fort Worth, Tex., paper published an article declaring that the methods of the firm were questionable, and printed copies of blank contracts, which it declared had been spread broadcast among farmers of the South- west by the firm. These contracts in- vited farmers to entrust their money to the firm of Stevens & Henderson for upeculaflon in the cotton market. ‘W YORK, April 2.—A corporation dh'ectory mentions Stevens & Hender- I son as baving an office at 20 Broad street. Information regarding the firm is unobtainable to-night. ————— SECRETARY HAY ARRIVES AT NAPLES ON THE CRETIC Says His llmll-h Has Been Greatly Improved by the Sea Trip.

PETS HIMSELF INTRAIN'S PATH SAN JOSE, April 2—A man aged about 32 years, supposed to be Arthur Tilcock, a medical student of the San Francisco Polyclinic, deliberately laid his head upon the railroad track near Sunnyvale this morning and it was al- most severed from his body by a north- bound train. The unfortunate man was not killed outright, but lived until he | was taken to Mountain View. In the baggage-room at Mountain View, near where the injured man was | 1aid, was found a card on which was printed the name Arthur Tilcock and | the address of Dr. Bassett's clinic, 430 Ellis street. The card gives the address of Tilcock as the St. Nicholas Hotel. The St. Nicholas Hotel people declare that no one bearing the name Tilcock lived there within the last three months. The officials of the San Francisco Poly- clinic say that while Tilcock may have been a student there, they know noth- ing of him. —_———— TELLS WIFE OF INTENTION TO KILL HER AND HIMSELF | Spokane Painter Attempts Murder, but Lacks Courage to Ead Own Life. SPOKANE, April 2:—Herman Fisher, a painter, shot and seriously wounded his wife at her temporary home here shortly after midnight Saturday. Four times he pulled the trigger and two of the shots took ef- fect, one in the abdomen, the other in the breast. Fisher, before he began his mur- derous fusillade, told his wife he In- tended to kill her and then commit suicide. He had the brutality to at- tempt the first act, but lacked the nerve to commit the second. Physi- cians say the wounds are not neces- sarily fatal. The shooting was caused by Mrs. Fisher's refusal to live with her hus- band, he having treated her brutally. ‘TABOURETTE & Weathered Oak—suitable for the den; regular $1.00 valye, 338-342 POST STREET He Says, Are Weary of Conservative LINCOLN, Nebr., April 2.— | getting together of the aggressive ele- ments of the party in active prelimi- nary work for the great battle of {1908,” is the way W. J. Bryan ex- | plained his recent activity in connec- | tion- with the reorganization of the | Democratic party. Bryan returned to- (dsy from Des Moines and it was with | particular reference to the meeting | held there last night, at which he made the prineipal address, that he spoke. Bryan explained that the Des Moines | meeting, like the one held in Topeka, Kans., late in February, was to fur- ther a movement for the organization of Democratic clubs and thereby place the machinery of the party in the hands of those who meant it well. In | Iowa, he said, the same plan had been adopted as in Kansas, with both of which he was in hearty sympathy. Bryan continued: ! o [ y y to R-organization is hardly the proper way to ne party does not is_no factional radical and progressive element in more com- plete control, that thers be united, harmonious effort for the campaign of 190S. The purpose is to begin at the botiom, letting the rank and | | file have a voice in the national convention by writing the platiorm at home for the national cofivention to ratify. Bryan ssaid he was not trying to i head a faction or to change the or- | ganization, except that he wanted the progressive men of the party to take the lead. The conservatives, he said, i had dominated the last national con- vention and. the party had met with defeat. He believed the rank and file | of the voters was for progression and radicalism, Iif need be. Bryan con- tinued: | The work sbould b-;in at the primaries | and every Democrat should vote. It remains with the rank and fle of the Demoeratic party to say what the party’s cousse shall be. No ene will for a moment doubt the course which will be adopted by the rank and file if they avail themselves of the duty to register | thoir preference at the primaries. But a sys- tematic cffort will be necessary in order that Democtats will be impressed with the im- | nce of participating In their party’s coun- f_good government, beneficiaries of class legislation, act as one man with unlimited means at their disposal. The peopie. have only their votes and they must cast them together or suffer defeat. Deraocrats who believe their party should be a party of the people have it in their power, through systematic organizaticn, 10 so shape | their party’s policles and govern its environ- ment for the 1905 campaign that it will com- mand the support of all men who have grown | weary of terests. Bryan presided to-night at the meeting in St. Paul's Methodist Epis- copal Church and introduced Balling- | ton Booth, who made an address in be- half of the Volunteers of America. NOVEL TURNS ARE SEEN AT THE ORPHEUM| The change of bill at the Orpheum last night produced several winners for the appreciation of the throngs that visit the popular O'Farreil-street play- house. They include singing and danc- ing acts, a short sketch and a novel exposition of the wonders of liquid air. George C. Boniface Jr., a clever ccmedian, assisted by Bertha Walzinger and Merle McGill, produced a catchy “one-timer” entitled “Two Aches and One Pain.” Don Francisco de Souza was in fine voice last nighe and began | his second week after appearing only two evenings of last week: Cooper and Robinson, colored come- dians, are one of the hits of the even- ing in several novel topical songs and accompanying buck and wing dances. They compare favorably with Murphy and Francis in their line of work. Knight Brothers and Miss Sawtelle in a twentieth century dancing act were also clever. ploited by Professor D. Rugg of Lon- don, who froze candle flames, bolled ice, and melted bessemer steel before the astonished audience. The demon- stration was unique, and its accom- panying scientific explanations educa- ticnal. The moving pictures, present- ing winter sports, were heartily ap- plauded. The holdover turns are Will- fam J. Kurtis, Wynne Winslow, Haines | & Vidocq and de Souza. ! —_——e——— A recent traveler to Tahit! remarks: For a tired out business man. a nervously exhausted individual this is the ideal ocean passage, pos- sessing advantages which probably are not to be found fn any other part of the world. fornia to the balmy breezes of the where.
