O'Clock Saturday morning John T. Cook, the

to prop up the crumDng pillar, and at ten
O'Clock George FOTcey. Daniel Rupp, WIN Kin
ney, lack Thomas and E. f. Jenkins entered the
mine. About eleven O'Clock an. explosion was
heard by people in the vicinity of the mouth of
the mine. The news that an accident had oc-
CURED in the mine spread like wildhre, and soon
Il large and excited crowd had gathered at the

Boss Cook, with two companions. descended the

the charred bodies of lack Thomas and ID. Jen-

bodies of the latter three were fearfully mangle1,
berS and broken coal. ForceyS leg was blown
off, ard kinney's head smashed The men were
all dead when found. The clothing was burned
almost entirely off the bodies of jenkins

the friends and relatives of the unfortunate
miners, the remains of Rupp, Forcey and Kim
ney first being brought out and afterwards those
