Coolidge To Be Officer. (Continued from Page 1.) ' States ,and soon after located at La Grande. Here his qualities of leader ship soon made him a conspicuous fig ure in the business life of the city, and won for him a wide circle of warm personal friends. When Company L of the Third Ore gon Infantry regiment was organized at this place, much to the satisfaction of all the men in the company, Mr. Coolidge was made captain, and dur ing the four years he served in this capacity, he brought Company L to such a high state of efficiency that he attracted the favorable attention and warm commendation of the regimental commander, Col. Calvin U. Ganten ibein. - :; v i ; When Mr. 'Coolidge applied for ap pointment to "the officers reserve corps, his application was accompan ied by a fine letter from his former, commander, Col.1 Gantenbein, who rec ommended his appointment in the highest terms, as one of the most' cap able officers in the Third Oregon reg iment. ' Mr. Coolidge is a young man of ex ceptionally fine character and winning personality. ' He has fill the qualifica tions for the making of a gallant of ficer. La Grande has reason to be proud of its first contribution of an officer for the Grand Airmy of the Re public.

Mine Disaster Pittston, Jan. 9. At 7 o'clock this morning, just after the miners had descended into the Pennsylvania Coal Company's shaft No. 4, near this .place, a terrible gas explosion took place near the carriage way, by which several men are supposed to have been killed. 1 There has been for several days a great change going on in a few mines ' adjoining No. 4, making itself visible on the surface by im mense crevices, toppling over school houses, dwellings, etc. The gas forced itself into No. 4, and when Perry Daly, mining boss, opened the door leading to the old workings, an explosion took ' place that shook the earth in that vi cinity iwfth terrific force. Governor Cullom on Resumption. iSpringfield, Jan. 10. The legisla ture met at noon today and Governor Cullom's message was delivered.

A Puget Sound Land Case. Washington, Jan. 10. The secrtary of the interior, on the 9th inst. af firmed the action of the commrssioner of the general land office in denying an application of Peter D.

A, Third Cavalry was stabbed by the Cheyenne Chief, Wild Hog, while the soldiers were attempting to disarm him, he being armed with several big knives and is a very strong savage, an Indian Hercules. These Indians left the South because they say they are starving there, and when ordered to return, refused to do so on that account. Efforts to make them go were unavailing. They declare they will die first and hold out in captivity on short rations of fuel and food, re fusing to be either frozen or starved into returning. Wild Hog finally con sented to use his influence in that di rection, but his son and others say they will die first. The latest word is as follows: Omaha, Jan. 10. A dispatch re ceived by General Crook this morn ing says that there were 30 Cheyennes killed last night at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, and that 60 prisoners have been recaptured from among fugitives Captain Wessels, with five companies, is in pursuit.
