SlXTY.ONE LIVES ALL TOLD
Three Hundred People Left Desti-
tute-CompIete and Accurate
List of the Victims OF the
Coal Mine horror.

EVANSTON, Wyo., March 2i-The last
of the victims of the coal mine disaster at
Red Canon on the Goth was found last
night, Walter Miller 10y name. The 61
who met their death the same day were
laid to rest to-day with the most impress
sive ceremonies. There wero 81 buried
from the Mormon church alone, where
the services were conducted by Bishop
Bowers of Almy, assisted by Bishop Brown
of Evanston and eminent dignitaries OF
the Mormon church from Salt Lake, in
Guiding Franklin ID. Richards, church his
torian, John Henry Smith, one of the IL
apostles and Seymour b. Young and Ed
ward Stephenson, two of the seven presi-
dents of the seventies. Bishop Cluif OF
Coalville, president of the Summit
county stake, also assisted. The
choir of the church was composed of "a
members led by Prof. James II. Hood,
who conducted the singing. The church
is the largest in Ulntah county, but was
insufficient to accommodate one-third OF
tho people who attended. 1t was at
tempted to take the cofflned bodies of the
dead into tho church, but after 13 had
been carried in il was found that all OF
them would occupy so much space there
would not be enough room to seat the
mourners and the bodies were moved out
again and arranged in rows at the side OF
the church. Such a scene has rarely been
witnessed anywhere and IL required the
utmost efforts of Bishop Cluff and Apostle
Smith to hush by words of comfort and
consolation the souls of the widows,
mothers and children, so that the exer-
cises might proceed. All these were bur-
led at tho Mormon cemetery at Red
Canon. The Fms, too, were buried from
their own chapel in their own burying
grounds.
The Rev. Brooks Hutchinson of the Ev-
! anston Presbyterian church conducted
the services at No. school house, Almy.
The Rev. Leppert conducted services for
those of the Methodist faith, the Rev.
| Father Fitzgerald of tho Evanston Catho'
lie church for those of his faith, while the
Rev. L. f.. Beggs of the Evanston Metho'
dist church preached the funeral sermon
at the opera house over the remains of o.
| Maltby, who was buried with Masonic
honors by Albert Pike Comm andery No.
of Evanston. Fred Hogan was buried by
tho A. o. u. W., of which order he and
Mr.. Maltby were members, carrying
$1,000 insurance, the only two insured ont
of the whole 81. The Ancient Order oI
Foresters buried under their auspices five
|
Memorial services were held at st
PauPs Episcopal church by the Rev. Mr.
Duffy, the rector. The oifertory was fo
the benefit of the bereaved. Coutribu
tions are coming in freely and it is hoped
that none of the more than 800 almos
destitute people now without means o
, support will be permitted to suffer fo
the necessaries of life.
