THE FATAL WINDY BLAST.
Nine Men Killed and Many Injured In Q
Coal Miue.

Coal Miue.
MCALEsTER, |. T., March 15-Anoth-
er fatal mine disaster occurred when
slope No l at Anderson, six miles east
of here, owned and operated by the
Choctaw Coal Co, exploded The cause
was windy shot fired by some I'M
known party. At the time there were
twenty-five or thirty men working in
the mine and out of these nine were
killed and seven seriously injured.
Those killed are: j. T. Scanlon,
Warren Love, John McFaddeu, E.
Mathews, Jules Trivari, J. P. Burnes,
Peter Strill, Paul Kulitch and John
White.
a windy shot is a blast set by the
miners during the day and set off by
men employed for that purpose after
the day crew get out and the blast, in
stead of blowing the coal, shoots in the
mine. Such a volume of fire ignites the
gas or powder smoke and coal dust and
causes black or fire damp TO circulate
through the entire mine unless shut off
by wings which separate the different
sections of the mine.

on the premises even though it is the
desire of the owner The penalty for

The pretty Chicago suburb of Pullman,

an extensive fire Monday night The fire
started in the mammoth lumber yards of
the Pullman company. and before it was
extinguished burned three fourths of the
wood stored there, causing a loss of S275,-
600. Fortunately no lives were lost The
fire department of Pullman did excellent
service. as also did that portion of the Chi
cage department which responded to the
call for help But the battle was an I'M
equal one from the start No fire de-
partment or organization of fire de-
partments on earth could have
stopped the blaz, short OF whore it was
stopped. All of the old experienced fire.
fighters said they would rather fight fire
anywhere else than in lumber yard after
the flames had once gotten start and
were burning fercely in a dozen or more
piles. The lumber destroyed was largely
of the finest sort, being used in the inter-
Tor finishing of the Pullman cars.
