Minnesota mine near this city most dis
astrous affair in the history of the mine
occurred to-day. when three men were
killed outright and nine others suffered
serious injuries, two of whom will proba-
bly, die and several others were slightly
injured
The killed: J. B. Nettle, jusular vein
severed; leaves wife and four chill

blown off; unmarried.
Injured: Phil Marshead. John Rosen-

Frank Cudy. w. J. Nettle. William Mar
tin, Joe Collar.
The accident occurred at the mine
blacksmith shops. where about twenty
men are employed. nearly every one of
whom sustained at least slight injuries.
Nettle. Collar and Nelson were engaged
in breaking up lot Of worthless gas
pipe before throwing it on the scrap pile.
The pipe would be put under a twelve
hundred-pound steam hammer and
broken into such lengths as would permit
its easy handling. The men had been
engaged in this work for nearly an hour,
when suddenly a terrific report sounded,

with frightful rapidity, and soon the place
was surrounded by crowd Of distracted
relatives. Stretchers were brought and the
work of carrying the injured to tho mine
hospital commenced. Nettle, Nelson and

time the hospital was besieged by relatives
and friends Of the injured The wards are
full and everything possible is being done.
Morschead and Mahoney will hardly re-
cover, both having suffered greatly from
loss Of blood. The explosion was no doubt
due to the presence Of a quantity Of dyna-

been used as ''gun'' in opening ''raises'
