Sh:fi,ousc Catches Fire and Imprisons the
Victims in n Mine.
STORY CITY, Ia, Oct. 1.-THE people
of this little city are agonizcd over the
knowledge that four..of their number are
somewhere in the depths of tho Summit
mine, probably dead. The summit coal
mine is located three miles south of this
town. 1t is n small mine, and only en-
pioys about twenty men, all of whom
live here. The shafthouse caught fire and
burned. The origin of the fire is I'M
known, but it is thought that rats gnawcd
at box Of matches which is known to
have been in the upper part OF the struc-
ture
Only four men were in the mine at the
time working on the night shift. 1t was
impossible to stop the progress Of the
flames, which demolished the entire wood
work OF the structure. The destruction of
the shaft stopped the means of ventilation
and may have caused explosions within
the mine. The mine has been explored
200 feet from the foot of the shaft, but no
trace of the missing men can be found.
The scenes at the mouth of the shaft have
been most pitiablc. Three Of the men who
ere now believed to be dead are married
and have children. The widows and or.
phans and most of the people OF the town
have waited anxiously for any word from
the scarchcrs.

A dispatch from Little .Eoc!S indicates
that thc-e is absolutely no law in Arkan-
sas TO prevent the fight. The present law
was passed as an amendment of the act of
1921. which made prize fighting felony.
But II seems that the act OF 1891 was void
because 1t was passed by viva voice vote
instead of n roll call This being so the
act to amend is also void. The governor
is depending, it appears, on the act of 1888
regarding unlawful assemblagcs, which
gives him arbit rary power even to the
calling out of the militia.
There j., however, hardly any militia,
the legislature having refused appropria-
tions therefor. 1t would be n decided
stretch of authority to call an unlawful
assembla5e that which no law prohibit
ed Still that is the law the governor viii!
nse, and he said yesterday he would pre-
vent the fight ''at any COST On the other
hand, Corbctt at San Antonio, Tex, has
received telegram from Hot Springs say
ing: Come at once. Protection guaran-
tced :"
At Little Rock and Hot Springs public
sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of
the fight. Indeed the governor is quoted
as saying that seven-tenths of the Arkan-
sas people favor the fight, two-tenths are
indifferent, and the other tenth is making
all the fuss. The mayor of Hot Springs
is one of the guarantors, AMI at meeting
attended by the most prominent citizens
of that place the guarantee fund was
raised in few minutes. This is the stu
alton at latest reports.
The st. Louis Republic has special
from Hot Springs stating that the fight
has been changed to one Of limited mum.
