TIFFrN, o., Nov. s9.-Jonn D. Daugh-
erty, a potter, aged 80 years, and un-
married, died here yesterday under
strange circumstances. Seven days ago.
while laughing heartily over the recent
election, Daugherty commenced hic-
coughing, and the attack lasted so long
that he became alarmed and called in a
physician. All that medical science
could do to correct the strange affliction
was done, but to no avail, and the hic-
coughing continued until death resulted.
Mr.. Daugherty's body was sent to his
former home in Trenton, N. J.

Affected BY the explosion. Large relief forces
are at work and It this time two bodies have

and 1900 feet farther III the slope and In the
Immediate vicinity Of the accident
There Is no doubt either In the minds Of
miners or the company officials that every
man was instantly killed. The Roslyn mine
was one Of the largest In the state supplying
western divisions Of tho Northern Pacific and
Union Pacific railroads with coal and has q
capacity Of 10000 tons day. Tho explosion
occurred Just as two gangs wcrs shifting at
