The Search for the Dead.

BRAIDWOOD, ILL.,, April =.
The Diamond mine was the scene of con-
siderable excitement yesterday. The fact
that the bodies which had been discovered
were to be brought out drew large crowd,
and when, about three O'Clock, the news
spread that the party who had gone down
after the remains had been imprisoned in
the roadway while putting the bodies in the
collins the excitement OH top was inte',se.
The wives and relatives of the men in the
mine were wild with grief over their pros
pective deaths. The men did not re-
turn when they We're expected, and
q party was at once sent out to
search for them. When the second party
had nearly reached the point where the
bodies were discovered, they found that a
large piece of stene had cayed in and
blocked up the narrow passageway. The
men, however, were soon liberated from
their involuntary prison. One of them was
SO Frustrated that he had to be carried home.
The rescued party said they would never go
i'll again. Other searchers who have been
working there say they also will not return
into the mine. 1t is thought no further
search will be made, as no men can be found
who are willing to go down. The bodies
were taken out about four o'clock and
placed in the morgue. The crowd then
passed through and viewed them. They
were identified as Thomas Rogers, Hugh
Ramsay, Andy Fulton, Ike Pearson, James
Pearson, and John Pearson. They could be
identified only by their near relatives by the
clothes they WORE The funerals will take
place to-day at ten O'Clock.
