Colorado, four miles from Como, last
night, which left death and destruct-
ion. Twenty-seven miners are known
to have been killed and Others may
have persisted. All the bodies have
been recovered, but emily eleven iden-

''DUsT EXPLOSION,
The accident occurred in q part of
the mine in which twenty eight men
were working. Only one of these es-
capped. This miner was working by
himself at the time at the far end of
the slope and was saved by his fortu-
nate position. He says the explosion
was terrific. He was thrown PROSTATE
but was unhurt and made no delay in
running out of the tunnel to the sur
face, although many times stumbling
as he ran, over the fallen bodies the
miners. His escape seems q miracle.
The explosion was heard in all parts
of the mine and the miners numbering
over 100 hurried to the surface. The
news of the accident spread like flash
over the little townof King and a res
cuing party was organized. A tele-
phone call for assistance was also sent
to Como. The danger was to be fear
ed from the gas yet remaining in the
mine but adventurous leaders braved
the way and were
HEROICALLY FOLLOWED
by miners and citizens. The twenty.
seven bodies were found in the cham

" the victims were killed outright BY
the explosion, or were knocked sense

the deadly gases. The bodies were
found in all sorts Of agonizing positions
in many instances lying crossed or
clasped together. The slow work of
carrying the dead to the surface WAS
then commenced. Meantime the shaft
was surrounded by crowds of women
and children, relatives Of the miners
The heartrending scene may be i'm

A FALSE REPORT.

It was reported yesterday that tailor
working for T. B. Closer, named ShOn-
felt, was found frozen to death on South
Water street. When an EAGLE reporter
went to Mr. Glosser's TO ascertain the
details he found the tailor in question
there sewing buttons on at lively rate
and as dead men tell no tales or sew on
buttons the conclusion was arrived at that
Mr.. Sheonfelt had not yet shuffied off the
mortal coil. 1t is surprising how a report
Of this kind spreads. One man will tell
you that he heard another man who
saw the corpse say it aud when
you go to him he will say that he heard it
from another man who saw the body lying
stuff and stark on the frozen ground and SO
en till one has reached half the men in town.
The average item chaser Is not cold heart
ed enough to wish man dead at ali times,
but when he trots about 500 blocks after a
corpse he becomes interested in the sub
ject and feels like be would like TO see one
on every street corner.

THE MISTAKES OF A DUDE.

This morning the city marshal of Hell
ena. Montana, will arrive in the city with
requisition papers from Governor LEVEL
ling for the transportation of the young
man named Byers to scenes Of his crimes.
He was to have been here last night but
he met with some delay of some kind. He
must be here today for the trial OF Byers
on the complaint of Chief of Police Cone
is set for this morning in Judge fuckers
Office Byers is wanted in Montana for
embezzlemept and wanted bad. 1t is said
that there are various charges Oh
crookedness against him which ne
cessitated his living under as
sumed names for the last few years.
He is the most tony person that has ever
dined in the banquet hall of the county
bastile. He wears faultless plug hat Oh
the latest Partisan pattern, cuffs, collars,
shirt front of immaculate whiteness,
while his clothes are of the most stylish
make and finest texture His manners are
also graceful and polished. He would not
be considered a dude on Broadway, but ne
is fine type of the western article.
The manner Of his arrest by officer Har-
ry Spawn was somewhat dramatic. Byers
used to live here and upon his return ne
naturally wanted to show his friends that
he was of more consequence than when
he left. He accordingly took batch of them
into a cigar store and told the proprietor
to fling out his choicest. The man behind
the counter flashed up a box of tivers;
but this made Byers hot, and be informed
him with the airs Of Coal Oil Johnny
that when he brought friends in to have u
cigar he didn't expect them TO smoke any
thing less than a twenty-fiver AS there
we're none of that Kind in the house a
compromise was made on two for quar-
ter. While the smoke from these highly
favored cigars was curling upward Bye
was telling his friends all about his i'm
aginary gold mines, sheep ranches, etc, in
Montana, palming himself off as a second
count of Monte Cristo.
He began the recital Of one whopping
big story about the discovery of immensely
wealthy ore, and while rs was going
through st Harry Spaun kept edging up
towards him. 1t WAS a story that made
all his auditors open wide their mouths in
establishment and the wider their mouths
opened the thicker he spread on the imagi-
nation in his story. Finally when he rest
ed Mr. Spaun remarked sis that the end
of your story sir" and upon being inform
ed that it was lie laid his hand on his
shoulder and said, "you are my prisoner"
The world that he wished his old friends
to believe was his slipped under him and
in three minutes he WAS in the felons cell
/ in the city bastile.

II Is NOT RIGHT.

A disgraceful scene WAS enacted on East
Douglas avenue last night. \ notorious
woman OF South Fourth avenue, with
loose robes and looser morals and fearfully
intoxicated, came to one of the leading
hotels and tried 10 break in after one of the
guests. She made a few mo-
mems OF the night hideous
by her unnatural conduct until
in defense OF the b otel windows the guest
in question was compelled to go out and
capitulate. Then a quarrel took place on
the sidewalk IN which the woman used the
most fearful language without respect to
the passersby, many Of whom were ladies.
She was finally put in a hack but with one
fearful blow with her fist she broke
the glass door into smithereens and
got out on the sidewalk again. Another
quarrel ensued in which the woman'sdress
WAS torn into shreds At last after liberal
concessions she entered the hack aud was
driven away from the scene.
Such conduct should be severely punish
ed Women Of that kind should be taught
that bawdy house riots cannot be transfer
red to the public streets with impunity,
when respectable people ara passing TO and
fro every few seconds. The police depart
ment should see TO it. and doubtless will,
that these women will find that a repeti
ion of such conduct Is Improbable. a
week or two in the city jail would INK any
body who pursues such practices.

A CHILD,s SUDDEN DEATH.

A child months old was found dead IN
bed yesterday morning at the home OF It's
parents on Fern avenue. The names
could not be ascertained last night as the
family are newcomers in the city. The
child was fretful during the early part OF
the night and its mother gave it some
paragoric to soothe it. In short time the
baby went into an apparent sleep and the
mother, thinking its troubles were al
layed, went to sleep also. When she
awoke in the morning she was Mortified 10
find her child dead. The coroner investi-
gated the case, but did not deem it adj
visable to summon a jury and hold an in
quest. The supposition is that the dose OF
paragoric was too large.

THE COLD SPELL.

Sunny southern Kansas Is suffering
about this time with the rest OF the coun-
try from some terribly cold weather. Sun
day evening 1t was much warmer and
many people found it comfortable out
doors with light wraps, but by the time
church services were over it was rapidly
turning colder and yesterday morning was
down to zero. 1t remained very cold all
day and after dark last night the wind
rose, making it an ugly night in which to
be out. There has been much suffer
ing among the poor Of the city
w no experience a scarcity of coal. 1t was
reported yesterday that there was no hard
coal in the city but there are no indica-
tions that there will be a coal famine.
There is plenty of soft coal. One good
thing about this kind Of weather here, and
the only one, is that it never lasts long.
Rising temperature is predicted for today.

. THE OFFICER HERE.

Yesterday morning the sheriff of The
Dells, Ore, arrived in the city after the
man Allison, who was arrested about a
week ago by Sheriff Ault. He was not
prepared TO take charge OF his man, how
ever. for the reason that he did not have
the proper requisition papers and he i'm
mediately proceeded to Topeka to get
them from the governor. The Oregon
officer complimented Sheriff Ault very
highly on account of the admirable man
uer in which he handled the case He did
not come a bit too early for Sam Amidon
had instituted habeas corpus proceed
iugs to get Allison out o.
jail. Judge Reed postponed hearing
the case until this morning at 9 O'Clock.
At7the Oregon sheriff Will be in with his
reouisition so that if tle train Is not late

wanted in Oregon IS for defrauding TWO
brothers out Of about 500 bushels Of wheat.

MEETINGS AT PLYMOUTH CHURCH.

The meetings Sunday evening and last
evening at Plymouth church were very in
terestipg. Rev c. \. Severance is pow
erful preacher. One feels that he has
something to say, and his way of putting
the truth is impressive. Mr.. Severance
will preach again tomorrow evening at
7:30 o'clock. Rev r. L. Marsh OF Ohvet
church is helping Mr.. Severance. Mr.
Marsh is peculiarly gifted in many ways
for this kind of work. Mr.. Charles Pier
point also does effective work in leading
the singing. The outlook is very promis
ing. The public is earnestly invited TO
these meetings.
