Yesterday was the last day in Leavenworth for the Viking crew that has been painting the Terminal Bridge, and it was by far the most exciting day it has had. For nine days the Vikings have been scrambling all over the bridge, armed with paint bucket and brush, and as much at home on top of the bridge overhanging the Missouri riggers aship. But on the last day the Vikings had a wreck that almost resulted seriously lmost, but not quite.

If the attempt now being made by the owners of theHome-Riverside Company's mines is successful, the miners formerly employed by those mines will go back to work Monday morning. The mine owners have drawn up a proposition to be submitted to the miners at a meeting to be held tomorrow night at Labor Hall, on Shawnee street, and if it is accepted at that timei will mean that the miners who quit work last April will be back on the job again be fore long. The proposition is looked upon favorably by the pit committee, to whom it has been submitted, but the members of the committee wanted it submitted to a general meeting of the miners before making any official reply to the operators of the Home-Riverside Company. Here is the company's proposition: To the Former Employes ot the Home Riverside Coal Company: We desire to submit briefly a statement of the present situation and with it a proposition that, having- been presented to a number of leading miners, has been pronounced so eminently fair by them that we feel satisfied in submitting it at this time to you. With the expiration of the 1908 contract on March 31, 1910.

work ceased and the mines were shut down Since that time, we have been standing across the road as it were you on one side, we on the other, looking at one another and not saying a word. This was because the making of a new contract had been delegated to Thomas L. Lewis. president of the United Mine Workers, and Mr. James president of the Southwestern Operators Association, at Kansas City Mo.

It was expected that these men would soon make a fair contract that would be just to both parties. After a long time they did agree Vikings' fault though not much. They are Norwegians, every one of them, those painters, and after getting accustomed to running up a most during a storm without losing their footing, a little matter like a bridge that's anchored down doesn't worry them at all. Yesterday, however, a new man joined the Viking crew. His name is P.

X. Hager, 519 Ohio avenue. Mahaffey was standing on the porch when he said to Mrs. Hager: "I feel funny." Then he sat down on a chair and a few seconds later fell on the floor of the porch. He was dead then, according to Dr.

C. J. McGee, but Mrs. Hager telephoned for a doctor thinking that lie had only fainted. Doctor 'McGee was first to arrive and.

said he was past saving. Doctor McGee. is not certain what the cause of death was. He thinks it might have been heart trouble, probably aggravated by the heat. Ma-.

haffey, Doctor McGee says, complained of the heat several days ago and said that he thought "it was getting the best of him." Coroner C. C. Smith was not in this 'city yesterday afternoon when Mahaffey died and the body was taken to J. J. When Smith returned, late last night he viewed the body, but did "not say whether or not he would hold an autopsy.

He had served one enlistment in Troop Fourth Cavalry, -and marching under the tropic sun in the Philippines made him unable to intense heat upon his coming back this country.

Just before Stuckey reached Miami street a dog ran out after him, and he glanced around to see that the dog did not get in the way of the back wheel and throw him. In doing so he collided with a considerably; more formidable object, in the form of Doctor Walter's automobile.

C. mm A. man who almost wrecked the Viking ship. The Viking ship, you know, is a very unpretentious flat bottomed scow, with scaffolding on top of it. It is moored to the superstructure of the bridge, and the Norwegians stand on top of it when they're painting the underpinning of the bridge on top of the scaffolding that is, not the scow.

Landlubber's Step Heavy. Well, about noon yesterday Print-up started to climb down, from the bridge to the scow anchored below. There were rive men on it at the time. Instead of climbing down gently Print-up jumped down. The result was, disastrous.

The Viking ship careened far over to one side, and? the five Viking3 hung on by the skin of their One of the ropes that was tied around the scaffolding and held the ship in place came loose, and the good ship Mud Hen began to drift downstream. Then stepped quickly to the rescue "Capt." H. Bjorndal, king of the Vikings, and the oldest man in the crowd. He grabbed the fast departing rope with both hands, and hung on to the boat with his feet, and tried to pull her back to her moorings. But the uncultured Missouri River was too much for the valiant captain.

It snatched the good ship Mud Hen right out from under th captain's feet, and left him hanging by the rope right in the middle of the raging torrent. (Note: The torrent is not really very raging at this time of year, but that's the proper way to describe it anyhow). The captain couldn't see any class dangling like a minnow on the end of a lien, so he let go and swam to shore anwhile the Mud Hen, with her crew of Vikings, and the landlubber who had literally put his foot in it were ber ing carried away downstream. They had no oars and no sails, and the skipper as overboard. Miles from shore, and no ship in sight.

Commodore to Rescue. Then there came to the rescue Commodore John Earley. The commodore" was on the bridgethe proper place for a commodore, and he saw the luckless Vikings drifting toward Kansas City. The commodore, who is really fhe main squeeze of the bridge painting outfit, wasted no time. He hurried down to the bank of the river, and secured a gasoline launch.

He headed sou by sou' east, overtook the derelict Mud Hen, threw out the life line, and in a few. minutes had towed her back MUST PAYGOURT COSTS Mrs. Vena Fillet and Son'Found Not Guilty and William Kemmerle Will 'Have to Pay All Costs of Action. practically upon a contract, wnicn embodied an increase in the price of mining of 3 cents per ton on mine run or 5 cents per ton on screened lump coal and 5.55 per cent on the day wage scale. Other paragraphs were agreed upon which were considered for the benefit of both the operators and the miners in the operation of the work.

This agrement constructed by. Mr. Lewis and Mr. Elliot was adopted by the operators, but turned down by the miners' convention. Mr.

Lewis then packed his grip and left Kansas City, announcing that he shook the dust of the Southwest from his feet. Thus we are left in the air, and it appears to us that it has become time for you and us to take our affairs, to some extent, into our hands and see where we are going to get off. Nearly four and a halt months have elapsed in which we have been Idle, and in our opinion a longer idleness is a grave injustice to the men and to the people of Leavenworth. The miners are damaged, the city is damaged and the company is damaged by this long shut down. The question is shall it continue indefinitely? Therefore, we have come at this time to state aur case to you.

and to the public and to make such fair and Just proposition as will appeal to you under the present conditions. Our ofTer, briefly stated, is this that we make such an agreement with you as Mr. Lewis and Mr. Elliot agreed upon, including the advance of 3 cents per ton for mine run. 5 cents per ton for screened lump and 5.55 per cent on the day wage scale.

You are to go to work at once and start the mines as fast as practicable. If afterward a contract is made between the United Mine Workers' of America and the Southwestern Coal Operators' Association for District Xo. 25, that is in its general conditions different, we agree to make such changes as will conform thereto, and make it retro-active to the time of com-mencem nt of work. By this means, work can be started at once, and the miners at the same time assured that they will obtain all that any future agreement between their organization and the Southwestern operators organisation may obtain for them. Hoping that you will weigh this proposition carefully, and give us your prompt reply, we are.

yours respectfullv. THE HOME-RIVERSIDE COAL by E. W. Snyder, president. THE HOUSE OF QUALITY.

Ernest Lovan, of the Ernest Lovan Investment Company, a Kansas City concern has been charged with obtaining money under false prtenses by C. Hanney, a former Leavenworth man, "who says that Lovan swindled him out of $10,000 in cash, and a farm worth on the pretense of selling him an interest in a good The, business, according the Leavenworth man proved not to be worth what Lovan represented it to be, and had very little property. Lovan is not in Kansas City at present, and his wife does not know where he is. Hanney was formerly purchasing agent for the Federal Prison here. He left here for Kansas City about two years ago.

Remodeling and Slightly Mussed Up but Still Doing Business at the Old Stand. Mrs. Vena Fillet and her son, Leon-ard, were, found not guilty of, the charge of disturbing the peace yesterday' and the costs were assessed against William Kimmerle who made the conipaint. The costs amounted to $20.90. The charges against Mrs.

Fillet and her son grew out of a quarrel between them and Kemmerle over a cow, belonging to the woman, that Kemmerle was pasturing oh his place, in Salt Creek Valley. Mrs. Fillet and her son live in the city. The case was tried in Judge Flynn's court before a jury made up of D. J.

Keller, John YogeU Paul Wilson, Andrew DeVeau, Peter Carroll and Charles Baker. The jury's verdict was-that Kemmerle complaint was malicious and that neither Mrs. Fillet or her son were guilty. ing of the colored folks interrupted by Simon Legree who buys Eliza's little son and Uncle Tom. Uncle Tom gives the child to Liza who escapes across the floating ice of the Ohio River.

The next scene is where she takes refuge in a northern honVe, only to be tracked by bloodhounds, and a big mastiff is shown, held by its lash by Legree'. Legree takes his slaves to his Mississippi plantation and the scene on the boat where Eva falls into the river and is rescued by Uncle Tom is a great one. Her father buys Tom from Legree and takes him to their home. The arrival there is depicted, followed by Eva's death. Tom is then sold back to Legree and the cotton picking scene follows where Legree strikes Tom down.

He is carried to the bunk where he diea. a transformation scene showing Little Eva and angels about, him. MRS. E. HUNNIUS SUFFERS PARALYTIC STROKE; SERIOUS.

Junction City, Aug. 12. Charles C. Gill, a Junction City young man, who is an ensign on the battle ship Idaho, made the best score in target firing at the recent practice off the Virginia capes. Ilis score averaged 06 per cent with all the Idaho's 12 and 7-inch guns, giving him the highest individual percentage of any man or officer in the navy.

He made three hits in three shots in 68 seconds, this being 2.7 hits a gun a minute. Naval authorities are astonished at the results of the practice. The targets were 15x12 feet, at 1,700 yards, with the ships rolling and. pitching in the rough open sea. In almost every case the ship was fifty to seVenty miles off shore when firing, and the target instead of being stationary was towed by a sea going tug.
