found. Search was continued all day
yesterday without" avail.t It is believed
tho body will be found -in the water
in the sump at the bottom of tho
shaft.' Search was resumed . today
and will be continued until every foot
of the underground workings has
been covered.
Belief la beginning to swing to the
theory that Fessel did not burn the
farowoll message in the 4IW0 drift,
but that he left his companions In i:n
effort cither to fight his way out of
the mlno or to seek what h thought
were safer quarters in another part
of tho workings.
Men who hold to this belief think
that tho message was left by a mem
ber of tho ill-fated shift, who hit curl
ed to tell that Fessel was not with
them, but being overcome by gap,
was unable to finish.
Tho Kennedy mine will resume
operations ut once, after a tomporary

In so doing a miscalculation was

was inevitable, Mrs. Heamcs tossed
the baby gently onto the parking.
When the crash came, Mr. Kcamos,
while his tilted cur was being pushed
along devoted all his efforts to pre
vent It from going completely over.
He was able to get his car stopped
within 10 feet after It was struck.
Iloth autos were badly damaged.
The Itcanics car had a badly twisted
frame, its fender and running board

"It Is nil his fault; It is a good lesson

noon. "It Carpentler hud not tried to
play with Slid ho would not have been
hit in tho third round by the lucky
punch that dazed him."
Carpentler Is blamed severely by all
the sporting writers for taking tho
fight as a Joke. They remarked that
the ex-champion seemed to think he
had nothing to do but play to the gal-
lory for the benefit of the moving pic
ture men and that he could "get" Siki
when he wished.
None of tho writers of sport columns
suggosts, howover, that Carpentler
could whip Siki In a return match, for
thoy recognize the fact that tho Sen-
