Special Dispatch to the Leader.
Rock SPRINGS. Wyo., April %
Fire broke out in No. 4 coal mine at
o'clock this morning. 1t was started by
the carelessness of Cinnamon who cooked
in their room in violation OF orders.
Flames were first discovered in No. 3 en-
try, near the mule feeding pens. Only a
few men were below at this hour and no
danger attended their departure.
AN EXPLOSION.
The flames spread with almost incredi-
Bile rapidity and at $50 this morning,
while a large party was making a desper-
ate fight against the fire, a terrific explo-
sion occurred. Dave Thomas aud Ed.
Evans. foremeu OF other mines, and
Frank Hodges and Alex Dyatt. old hands.
were seriously injured and several others
slightly.
FOUR cHINAMEN.
Just before the explosion four China
men, all overcome by smoke, were car
ried from the mine and revived after
much abor.
REsCUERs.
The mules are still in the mine, but a
rescuing party has gone after them and
will look about for any miners who may
have succumbed to the smoke. This uu-
dertaking is looked upon as extremely
hazardous, as an explosion is liable TO oc-
cur at any time.
DOOMED o MONTHS.
Work was stopped at all the other
mines and the greatest excite ment pre-
walls.
1t looks at present as if No. 4 was
doomed for months to come. 1t is con
sidered the finest coal mine in Wyoming
and is valued at 81 900, OO0.
SMOTHER IT.
They are fighting the fire with water,
but will probably try smothering.

After false pass at something related to
Mrs. William NJ. Lion and "Nettie,' -
Slater fixed upon "Nettie" as one dead and
standing behind Mrs David Magee, for
merly Mrs. Grice and said: "She was your
daughter, was she not?" (Yes) And is

advice were given, and one lady was told
that she was an invalid because she did not
take enough exercise and took too much
medicine. Another was told that she was
having trouble about lands, and replied
affirmatively. And then, after few incon-
sequential tests, the entertainment closed.

Slater repeats his performance tonight,
and promises to diagnose any case of dis
