E
1IOIUHT, Tasmania, Mnr. I. -Pitiful
scenes occurcd nt ho mouth
of the North Mount Lycll mine today
when after some four nnd a hnlf
months' persistent search, 18 bodies
of miner who were entombed in the
memorable disaster of October 1'2
were brouiiht to tho surface and
scores of mothers or widows gath
ered at tho top of tho shaft in cm
endeavor to recognize and claim tho
remains of some past dear member of
the family.
Tho recovery of these bodies
brings the death total to forty-fi?o
and farther search has had to be
abandoned because of the fierce fire
which still rages in portions of the
mine.
After allowing four months to go
by the shaft was scaled up in order
to smother the fire, it has nt Inst
been conceded by mine experts that
the whole works will hrtvB to be
flooded.

two.
Townscnd was picked up at Asa
land recently for endeavoring to put
over a bunco game, state the officer.
This is the third time ho has been h
trouble here. He was gicn CO day
in tho county jail in September for
larceny and 30 days in November for
accosting and annoying girls.

WEST FILES VETO
OF BILL CREATING
SALEM. March l.Oovernor West
hns filed his veto of the superior
court bill, which would hnve abolish
ed county judges nnd circuit court.
The message rends as follews: .
"I herewith return house bill No.
!2d'J without approval.
"This bill proposes to abolish tho
offico of county judge nnd fill tho
vneimev with n third commissioner.
It proudes for thirty-one superior
judges. As there am nt present twen
ty circuit judges this would mean an
increase of eleven new judges nnd an
increase in salaries mnouutiug to
$44,000.00 a year.
"There is no doubt merit in the
contention that many matters wow
handled by the county court should
be taken caro of by a higher court,
but I do not believe thntcouditionsnt
but I do not believe that conditions
at this time demand tho creation of so
many new offices and the throwing
