E VIRTUE MINE ACCIDENT
oroneri .Tory Decidetl Maddox' Death
Wai Accidental.
Further particulars of the explosion
of dynamite in the Virtue mine, in Ba
ker county, last Saturday, when James
P. Maddox was killed, are to the effect
that James Mackintoshes leg was bro
ken. Mr. Maddox was not instantly
killed by the t-x plosion, as is explained
the miner who went with him to the
giant powder magazine. Joseph T.
riiggins and James P. Maddox, the ac-
; cident's victims, went to the magazine
in which there was from twenty-five to
one hundred poundsof explosive, and
were there for the purpose of getting
powder and making primers. Maddox'
candle was put on a shelf and he was
cuttiDg some fuse, when the candle,
which was in an improvised wire etick,
fell and the blaze instantly ignited the
powder.
Both Maddock and Higgins tried at
first to put out the blazing candle, and
as they could not do so, the latter picked
up a box of giant powder and ran twen
ty feet with it. Higgins ran on in the
dark and heard at first two light explo
sions, at if caused by two sticks of pow
der. After he heard the first blast he
ran about 200 feet, when he was knocked
down by a terrific explosion and crawl
ed on his hands and knees to the station,
where he remained with his head cov
ered with his jacket to keep from smoth
ering from the gas, until he was rescued
by Messrs. Com stock and Henneey.
Mr. Hennesy states that he heard the
explosion while he was at work in the
mine and went directly to the scene
with Mr. Comstock, finding the unfor
tunate Maddox about 200 feet from the
magazine., Maddox, who was covered
with rubbish from the explosion, was
carried to the Burface by the above men
and others, and lived for about one hour
from the time he was found. His death
was caused by frightful injuries and
bruises on the back of his head, neck
and back, and did not revover con
sciousness. The coroner's jury decided that Mad
dox' death was caused purely by accident.

the start, and gained very little during
the race. Harry N. won the $100 purse,
with Suretta second, the time being 38j.j.
A great deal of interest was taken in
the pony race, which was a three-eighth
mile dash between Little Pete, Princess,
Cricket and Silver Dick. Cricket took
the lead, with Silver Dick second, and
everyone eaw at a glance that one of
those two had the race. Up to the one
eighth mile post Cricket held her own ;
but as they turned on the home stretch
the larger and faster pony began gain
ing, and beat by bis own length."
This ended the races for the dav.
At ttie Fair Today.
The crowd at the gronnds today was
larger than on any preceeding day, and
a great deal of interest was taken in the
races. Pools sold readily on the trotting
and pacing race, which was between
Meteor, Alleu S. and Leland W.
The first heat was doubtful for a time,
but Schilling's Leland W. broke and
ran almost the last half mile. This left
the contest between Meteor and Allen
S., and the former won by his own
length in 1 :3S'.i. The second beat was
closer than the first, and Leland W.,
who, by the way, is but a young horse,
did very pretty work and broke but
once during the race. This was also
won by Meteor in 1 :34.
In the third heat the little pacer,
Allen S., tripped on the start, which
cansed him to break and lose ground,
but he gained gradually, and though
the race was very close, the judges de
cided in favor of the pacer.
As another heat had to be run, the
reporter could not wait for the decision.

The prettiest race that has ever been
eeen on a Dalles track was the one be
tween Island Lass, Pathmount- and Deceiver.
In the first heat Pathmount won, but
had nothing to spare, as Deceiver was
close by the brown stallion's side when
they passed under the wire. The second
beat was very close from beginning to
end, but after the last quarter pole was
passed, Deceiver worked ahead and came
out a half neck length in the lead. The
next two heats were taken by Path
mount, which entitled him to first
money and the honor of having lowered
the track record 2? seconds. Deceiver
took second prize.

New Moon,-Harry N. and Suretta, was
