q. DEADLY EXPLOSION.
Eleven Persons Killed i'm an indian
Territory Oai Mine.

About forty workmen employed in coal
mine at McAllister, Indian Territory, were
quitting work for the day, and the greater
nunber had come out of the pit Many had
zone to their homes, though few still lin
cered al the mouth of the shaft waiting for
their comrades to come to the surface. Sud
denly those who were waiting at the en-
trance to the mine heard a dull explosion,
and a volume of smoke dust and debris came
rushing up the shaft
The alarm was given, and in few minutes
the entire population of the village were
gathered about the scene of the disaster.
Among them We're the wives, children,
fathers and mothers of the poor fellows under
ground whose fate was still unknown, and
amid cries and means they pleaded piteously
that something, anything, everything be
done Tor the relief or rescue of their loved
ones
All was confusion at first, but order was
soon established. and a resCuing party en-
tered the mine. The explosion was not fol-
lowed by conf1a grafton, hence there was no
treat obstacle to the progress of the se?rchers.
They soon found that the damage to the mine
was incOnslderable. and this led to a hope
that the results might not be as bad as was
generally believed. They had not gone far,
however, lefOre they were shocked by find
ing that eleven men-all who We're below
when the explosion occurred had been killed.
None of the bodies We're burned, nor were
any Of them very badly mutllated. Some of
them had legs or arms broken, but it was evi.
dent they hal been killed by the conclusion.
The explosion is supposed to have been
caused by the ignition Of quantity of giant
powder, communicating with gas and fine
coal dust
