Leavenworth, Kan.,' April 26.
Things are - looking brighter for
William January, alias Charles W.
Anderson, the modern Jean Val
jean, who was recaptured and , sent
back to prison afier being a fugitive
nine years, during which; time . he
changed his name, led an exempla
ry life ana married. , ine prisoner
has made a detailed report to Ma
jor McClaughey, warden of the Fed
eral penitentiary, covering his where
abouts and employment ever since
he dropped over the fence to liberty,
He gives the names of employers
from time ' to time and - makes a
straight and clear record. The re
port was sent this morning to Con
gresamen E. C. Ellis,, who will. for?
ward it to Washington with ; other
papers and petitions for the presi
dent. i v ..... -j i
The statement of.January opens
by telling how he and another pris
oner, Walter A.' Axton, escaped oo
the night of October g, .1898. After
scaling the wall they walked toward
Atchiuf OQ and ' hid in ' the timber
the next day reacbtog Atchinson
the second night., i There they sep
arated, when January.! caught a
freight train and beat his way to
Wichita. . .. .: o; r i i
i Three days after arriving in Wi
chita, January .found that , Axton
had followed him, and j they left
there together and secured work in
a rock quarry at Winheld,, ' They
worked there two months, when
Axton either accidentally shot him
self or committed suicide with a re
volver. January worked in the
quarry another taohtb .
ifiarly in loaa, January says, he
started to sell tea and ccffee He
traveled through Sjuthem Kansas,
part of MicfcOuri and into Oklahoma
with a man who owned ahoise and
light wagon.: This be did for more
more than a year and then went to
Kansas City, , where he solicited for
an insurance company, ' saving his
money, and later engaged ' in the
same business for himself for more
than two years.' This was followed
by employment with the Metropol
itan Street - Railway company for
over a year. .
January was married in 1901 and
lived in Kansas City from that time
until his arrest, . operating a small
restaurant. Major McClaughey is
satuhed that January made a true
etatement and that , he conducted
himself well while at liberty.
There was forwarded tonight to
President Roosevelt a petition ask
ing a pardon for January. It bears
40,000 names, and it iB believed
the man will be speedily pardoned
and sent back to his wite and baby
girl and little restaurant. .There
it universal sympathy for January
and his family, and equally wide
spread execration of the former con
vict who betrayed him to the' offi
cers. However, it is figured that
it wilt be better In the end,- aa Janr
uary caa then go ahead without the
fear of arrest always hanging ; over
him. ' : i' ':.. ..;..., ' ':
' His friends are' conducting his
restauraptv-during his. absence and
popular feeling , is t such. , that the
place is crowded at all hours and
has proved a veritable gold mine.

Johnstown, April 3O. After be
ing entombed since last Friday
noon in the Berwin-White Coal Co
mine No. 38, at Foustwell, near
here, the .seven, miners - who were
shut off from the world by a sudden
rush of water caused by the break
ing of a wall of an abandoned mine
were rescued at ten o'clock tonight.
The men were greatly exhausted.
Owing to their weakened condition
it was deci ied not to bring them
out until after the mine had been
drained.
The men were reached at "10 o'
clock by Stiney Rodon and Charles
Ream, who made a dash through
5o feet of water-filled - headings.
Early in the day John Bolya, broth
er of one of the imprisoned nen, and
three comrades made futile at
tempts to. reach them.
They came back, half drowned
and reported that portions of the
headings were still completely filled
with water and that more pumping
would have to be done before the
imprisoned men could be reached.
The efforts at pumping were then
redoubled. . . At lo o'clock the water
had so far gone down that it' was
reeolved to make obe more attempt
to break through to .the' overcast,

still .alive. ; ',' 7,7'. ,.V! ; V'. i

, Ream and bis comrade carried to
the imprisoned men simply a flask
of brandy and a little water. He
reported that Mike Bolya had, since
the breaking of the walls between
the abandoned workings, been in
charge of the movements of ; his
comrades.' Bolya is 'acquainted
with evry turn of the mine. When
the flood broke out, he led his com
rades to the furthest point in the
