BOMB In A COAL NINE
Dynamite Exploded In the Pratt Mine
and Operations suspended
One Was Hurt

BRAZIL, Ind, Dec. l2.-Following on
the white cap notices posted through
out the Indiana coal region yesterday,
a dynamite bomb was exploded in the
Pratt mine. few miles north OF here.
The bomb was placed In a fan
cylinder, which was shattered in
atoms. As consequence the
mine, owned by the Coal Bluff Mining
company. was shut down to-day, and
operations cannot be resumed for at
least a week. The mine In which the
outrage occurred was one of the few
making an attempt to run in the In
diana coal belt. AS much to give the
striking miners taste OF their temper
as anything else the operators secured
the country for miners and succeeded
in getting ten "blacklegs." who
managed TO dig few tons day. The
doggedness of the latter In sticking 10
their posts is regarded as having exas-
perated the strikers TO the extent OF
moving them 10 have recourse To dyna-
mite, and fears are entertained lest
similar outrages will occur IL the other
boycotted mine-owners should follow
the example of the Coal Bluff company.
Had the bomb been exploded five
minutes sooner the mine Waterman
would have beer. blown into eternity.
The Waterman nad just inspected the
air fans in the cylinder and laid his
lantern close TO the shaft while he
went a few rocs away for the key to
the tool house The explosion felled
him to the earth and sent his lantern
and goat, which was grazing near by,
