"It will never do, said Clarence Berry, to destroy the only hope ve have of recovering Pauls gold and solving this mystery, which deepens with every new development. Besides, we have had no lynching yet In the Klondyke, and let us not have any If we can avoid it.

The Indictment on which Sasaoneff, the assassin cf the Russian minister of the Interior Von Plehve, and hls accomplice, will be tried on December 13, Is a formidable document, reciting the history of the assassination plot, details of the crime, and revealing interesting facts about the accused and confessions made by them, winding up with the formal Slko-rifsk- charge. The document alleges that both and Sikorlfsky belonged to a fighting organization of social revolutionaries, the central cclmmlttee of which was organized abroad In 1902, to overthrow autocracy and replace It with a republican, socialistic regime. The document describes the manner In which the party formed secret circles for the distribution of proclamations, organized the peasants, stirred uie university students, fomented agrarian dissensions, preached Sas-one- MINE ACCIDENT. Men Lose Their Lives as ACROSS LAKE ERIE IN ICE. Re- sult of Explosion. A special from Burnett, Wash., brings the news of one of the most terrible calamities that has ever blighted the mining Industry In the state of Washington, occurring In the Burnett coal mine. Without a moments warning at least eleven lives were snuffed out and It Is believed that the death list will total fifteen. Of these unfortunate victims eight are men of families, while the rest were unmarried. The cause of the explosion has not been definitely ascertained and opinions vary. By some the theory is advanced that fire damp Is responsible for the disaster, but thla will not be known until an Investigation has been held. The Burnett mine is owned by the South Prairie Coal company. At the time of the accident there were about forty men at work. Just prior to the fatal explosion some of the miners had ascended to the surface and others, more fortunate than the victims, were able to make their way to safety after the terrible blast which shook the neighboring territory like an earthquake.
