later Indicted for forgery, has beencap

two children, ' . ;. .:":,-:'
Two years after the flight of Archer
and Mrs. Garrison, ha deserted . the

For two-years after he left Newark,
Archer, traveled. The police heard of

reported he sailed for China.' He was
watched for there, but went to Austra
lia adc! from there to Japan. He was
traced from place to place with his
photograph. A circular describing htm

These circulars were, mailed 1 to the
chiefs of police and to private detective

Newark and believed If he had he could
have beaten the cane.' He declared- he

Red Itdge, Mont.. .Nov. 21.-Nlne per
sons are known to be dead as a result of
the firs which. started. In the. third east
entry of stop No. S, of the Northwest
ern Improvement company's mine here
yesterday. The dead are: Frank. Tan
koski, Tony Stronlsh, Andrew Keranen,

son, .Andrew G. QordL
The bodies of the three latter have
been recovered, hut the remains of .the
other six may never be found, as they
endeavored to make their escape through
stops No. 3, which flames are sweeping
through and , their bodies have ,heen
burnedito ashes. Instead of coming up
the No. 1 airshaft, through which so
many others were resoued, these unfor
tunate men started up, the No. 1 stops
and lost their lives in their attempt to
gain libertv. The prompt action on
the part of the officials and the number
of members of the rescuing party prob
ably prevented: one of the most disas
trous catastrophes In the - history . of
coal mines of Montana. '
"'.'1'. Ksroto Besoua iWoAi.'-V.;''';,'
When the flames first broke out there
must have been 60 or more persons In
stops No. 2, whose lives were saved
by reversing the air - currents, thus
driving the deadly fumes In an oppo
site direction. The work of rescuing
'the exhausted was heroic. -The trips
wers kept running with wonderful rap
idity and the men were lowered in th
cars and carried through the smoke in
a manner which was marvelous. The
No - 2 ialrway has ' caveAln and all .of
the rescuing party are now at the sur
face fighting the flames. ' ' '
When Assistant Superintendent Hag-
Snrty became Incapacitated last night
eneral Superintendent C. C Anderson
lumped into a trip and went to the
bottom of .the mine where the fire was
-the thickest and directed the work of
rescuing. The men were found in a
pitiable condition, strewn all along the
tracks, some with their faces down, and
others crouched In the small chambers
and almost overcome by the smoke and
heat. Superintendent Anderson worked
like a Trojan and it is due to his heroic
efforts and forethought that so many
Uvea were saved. r
All of the timber In the No. 2 stop,
the principal entry to the mine, has
been burned, the destruction extending
' ovesa distance of 2,00.0 feet. The 60
men. who were brought ' out on stretch
ers will U recover, -.
The loss to the company will approx
imate $1,000,000. . - ' ,
The fire is attributed to mcendlary
origin, a pile of logs being observed at
tho point where the flames first -burst
forth, - .. ;. - ; .

' Assailantras: Same 'Who

(Special OUpatcb to Th lonraal.t
Salem, Or., Nov. 21. Strong circum
stantial evidence was brought to light
this afternoon by Sheri.'f Harry Mlnto
to show that the man giving his name
as Homer Black, now occupying a cell
In the county Jail here. and accused of
tne snooting ot ir. u. h, Kooertson
for resisting a holdup last night. Is
the same that assaulted Frank Guild,
a salesman for the Barnes Cash store.
as he stepped In the store early last
Sunday morning. The sheriff is almost
certain he can prove connection between
the two acts.
Black wears a ralr of shoes that
ostensibly were taken from the Barnos
Cash store the same evening on which
Guild was assaulted. The lot number I
size and style compare with tne empty
shoe box found near the bed where
the clerk was struck with a Jimmy. It
was on tbe gallery where the stock Is
kent and not whore the shoes were
sold that the empty box was found after
the burglary, which wbuld Indicate that
the shoes were taken in a raid upon the
atorit.
Black has spoken only a few words
since being taken. When asked If he
knew why ne was arrested he answered
simply fcNo." When told about the
shooting of the physician he said that
he had nothing to say whatever, but
that' be was alone last night.: It is
the belief of the sheriff that Black's
gum is certain nuut vnv in i 1
perlenced offender. It is also believed I
that he had' a nartner and efforts are I
being made to apprehend him. Warden I
Curtis visited the prisoner in the coun-l
ty jail this morning, nut coma not laen-
tffv him - -.
in. ovarivMt waa nicked no this af
ternoon in which there were found sev-.
eral shells or tne sue nseo oy iiiacK.
It Is believed that Black stopped where
the overooat was picked up near the
fair a-rounds to reload. A i 45-callbre
Colt's was found on the prisoner, fully
loaded, when - arrested. The empty
shells have not been found. It was
near the fair grounds that Black was
taken. 5
Dr. Robertson's chances Tor recovery
are good. The ouuet passed tnrougn
his oody, -entering under the right
shoulder blade and coming out of the
right breast. As the physician en
countered the bandit he turned and
started to run. but the footpad sent a
shot after him, bringing bim down. An
other shot was fired, but went wild. Dr.
Robertson attracted the attention by
firing a -shot with his own pistol. He
was found almost immediately and re
moved at once to Willamette sanator
ium, where bis wounds were dressed.

Date of Formation of Gi
gantic Trust Was 1879
Vast Array "of Holdings
Enumerated in . Papers
Filed in Oil Case. ;
(Hearst News by Longest teasei Wlra.)
New York. Nov. , 21.- The real
birthday of the Standard Oil. trust
was for the first time discovered to
day. The greatest of monopolies ia
really three years older than any of
its many historians and investiga
tors have ever been able to prove. .
April 8, 1879, was the date when
the greatest and most secret of
trusts was really formed. Instead of
1882,' the birthday date that has'
been accepted for years. It means
that at the last secret birthday party
of the oil octopus 29 candles were
burned instead of 26. ' ,
This fact was established today
after a careful examination ot the
documents and -exhibits put Into the
records pending suit by John O. Mil
burn Morltz, Rosenthal,. John S. Mil-'
ler, attorneys for the trust, and John
D. Rockefeller.
For several years' government In
vestigators have suspected that the
famous trust agreement of 1882' was
not the real beginning of the Stand
ard Oil trust.
They were absolutely unable to
prove it. Not a single document or
trust agreement before that date had
been found. , The Btate authorities,
who -have Instituted' actions against,
the trust in Ohio, Missouri and other
Btates.'were quite as unable to find
positive proof that the Standard Oil
was more than 26 years old. ;
v Agreement Locked Tip. . " ; ;
The first Irust agreement was
locked up in the Innermost secret
vaults of the Standard Oil company.'
It remained there until today, when
John Mllburn, resurrected It and
carried It to the custom house, where
the Standard Oil has been on trial.
In a quiet period of the hearing
Mr. Mllburn passed the. famous first
agreement to Mr. Rockefeller and
asked him to Identify as many ot the :
I signatures as he could. The agree-'
ment was ; not read and although
there were 40 newspaper men in the
courtroom at the time, Mr. Rocke
feller's perusal of It did aot attract
enough attention for any one to ex
amine the. document. . ' , . .
It was formally put Into the record
and must stand from this on as the first
chapter In the history of the Standard
Oil trust. As a historic document, it ia .
of equal value with the trust .'agree
ment pf 1882, which was prepared by
Mr. Dodd, who until his death several
years ago was the ' chief solicitor of
Standard Oil. ' .- ,
It sets forth In detail the exact orig
inal holdings of everybody concerned
in the formation of the trust. It shows
that from this early beginning John Dv
Rockefeller held more than one fourth
of the shares. ,
Jobs O.'i Interests.
He actually, owned 8,894 shares out of
36,000. Henry M. Flagler was the sec
ond heaviest holder, with 3,060 shares.'
