today that he heard fearful explosion
on Thursday night. He Immediately
rushed to the pit, from which dense
smoke and cloud of coal dust belched
forth. He formed party and descended
the shaft into the mine. He entered
the fourth level, where he found the
bodies of "a miners and several dead
horses lying at the entrance. The gal
lery was blocked with fallen beams and
coal. While waiting for achievements
15 survivors issued from the we'll lead
ing from the fifth level. They were al
most exhausted. Kouht signalled for
help. Suddenly a terrific explosion
occurred, hurting the wagons togeth er
and throwing Kouht to the ground.
The lamps in the level were extln-
guished. kouht held handkerchief to

ing choked to death by fire damp. He
was, however. gradually losing his
senses when the pit men were fleeing
from the lower level and went up the
shaft. Kouht shouted, and was taken
into the cage and raised to the surface.
A second party descended into the
mine and bravely entered the galleries.
They found all the first rescue party
dead. The rescuers continued their ex-
plorations. and although they were badly
burned, recovered some bodies.
The mine is still burning and it will

port of the committee appointed to ex-
anime into the conduct of several high
military and civil officers who, it was
charged. had at the height of the con-
flict between the crown and Liberal

ment of the Conservative cabinet,

safety of Sweden and Norway. The
house adopted the report by vote Of 81

Brother-in-Law's Body.
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CAL, June 17.-Fred
Hoffman, formerly of San Jose, has been
living at the home of his sister, Mrs.
Martin J. Tasfe, near here. He was
missed from home all day yesterday, but
ne alarm was felt until late last night.
when Mr.. and Mrs. Taafe went to ex-
anime large well. in which a pump,
worked by gasoline engine, had been
placed. 1t was there that Hoffman had
last been seen. The gasoline had been
leaking from a tank into the well un-
known to anyone, and as Mr.. Taafe de-
scended into the we'll with lighted
candle, the gas ignited and burst forth
in fame that assembled high above the
we'll, burning Mr.. Taafe in a frightful
manner about the face, head and hands.
By the aid OF his wife he escaped, and it
ia expected he will recover. This morn
ing Hoffman's body was found in the
well and brought to the surface. 1t is
thought he was aephyxiated by the gas
fumes while working with the pump in
the we'll.

Herbert Chase, f. d. Smith. Fred Payne
and w. K. Routch were brought to this
city last night by United States depu-
ties and locked up in the county jail to
await trial on the charge OF interfering
with train and attempting to unlaw-
fully take possession of Union Pacific
property at North Platte Thursday
night.
Seven box cars containing 220 mem
bers OF the army that created such q
disturbance at Julesburg and Ogalalla,
were hauled into Fort Sidney last night
and placed under guard at the abandon
ed military barracks, where they will be
held as prisoners until the court can
dispose OF their cases. They were in q
most pitiable condition on their arrival
and had evidently very wholesome
contempt for all sanitary regulations.
They expressed great indignation at be-
ing taken to the fort as they were ex-
pecting to be brought at once to Omaha.
They were qusrtered in the barracks
lately occupied by the Indian companies
OF the Fifteenth Infantry and provided
with blankets and means of ameliorst-
ing their personal discomfort.
Thirty boat loads passed Big Springs
on their way down the river, bat made
no demonstration. Deputy marshsls
are still on guard at Ogalslls and Big
Springs. The ten men who were
brought to Omaha were very unruly
when arrested and will have to answer
to other charges than the stealing of a
train. One Of them tried to use knife
on deputy.
