NEW SAFE FOR :
WELLS-FARGfl GO.
Was in Hurry to Get on Job of
Caring for Coin and Bul
lion
The Valdez agency of I he W'elis
Fargo Express company has re
ceived a large new satyi.. This
has been deemed necessary t<rcare
for the big sums of cash which
will be received through mining
transactions from the outside and
to safeguard the bullion from lo
cal mills awaiting shipment.
The safe was brought up from
the dock yesterday and its intro
duction to its new quarters was
somewhat precipitate. The safe
seemed to be in a hury to get on
the job of caring for the coin
which it is destined to protect.
II. was elevated from the bed of
the sleigh upon two stout planks
leading on a sharp incline to I he
doorway of the Valdez drug store,
where the office of the express
company is located. The force of
men helping to unload the safe
were not sufficient to check its
flight when il started down the
incline and the spectators ex
pected to see it crash through the
front, of the. building. Fortunate
ly the wheels of the safe broke
through the sidewalk, causing it
to tip forward. In falling it miss
ed the big plate glass window of
the drug store by a very few
inches.
The sighs of relief which went
up after the safe landed without
damage sounded like the amen
chorus of a Salvation army meet
ing.
WOUNDED MINER J
RESTING EASY
Right Arm Is Amputated Below
Elbow But Leg Will be
Saved
James Fielder, who is in the
hospital in a badly shattered con
dition as a result of a premature
dynamite explosion, is doing as
well as could be expected under
the conditions.
Dr. Sleein, who is attending the
wounded man, stales that he has
every hope of saving Mr. Field
er's leg, although it is in a ter
rible condition. He states that
the bones of the limb were not
broken and if blood poisoning can
be prevented the limb will he sav
ed. The flesh on the right leg is
literally pulverized from the hip
to the anklo and how he escaped
without tho bone being shattered
is a mystery. Tho flesh is per
forated in more than one hundred
places but these are not serimir
with tho exception of four large
ones in tho calf of the leg. ;
Mr. Fieldor's right hand was
hjo^yjp ofT and the shattered arm
has been amputated about four
inches below the elbow. It was
most fortunate for the wounde<l|
miner that he had tho services of
a nursd so soon after tho acci
dent, otherwise he must have ex
pired before reaching medical aid.
SECOND GAME '

Bowling Team of Big Place Has
Been (/hanged and Much
Strengthened
The second Kanie in the bowl
ifiK- to u rn an mm 11 for the trophy of
fered bv Ingram & Bush will be
played tonight on the alleys at the
Big Place. The first game of the

gram & Bush aggregation by a
score of 2 i I \ pins to their oppo
nents 2240 pins. ^
The personnel of both teams
have been changed more or less
and the final outcome of the tour
nament is a matter of speculation
among bowlers. The lineup of
the beams, which play tonight, is
as follows:
Ingram & Rush—Merchant, Da

where the trouble came in, as
there is more than one church in
Valdez. Mr. KnuLson called early
for his lady friend in order to be
in time for the ceremony and pro
ceeded to the Episcopal church.
The£ found the doors locked and
decided they would wait for the
arrival of the bridal couple. Af
ter waiting for some time Sam
took a squint through the key
hole and decided there was noth
ing doing.
In oi'der to make the most of
hsi pleasant company Sam decid
ed lo take in the show at the Or
pheum and did so. As they was
coming out after the first show
they met the bride and groom go
ing in for the second perform
ance. Explanations followed and
Sam learned for the first time
that there is more than one church
in Valdez. He had been waiting
at the Episcopal church while his
friend was being married at the
Congregational church. Sam and
his lady friend got in on the wed
ding dinner at Lindig's cafe even
if they did mias the ceremony.
