GAS "
SIX Men Killed snd o Number Fatally In

Six Men Killed and o Mum Der Fatally In
jured Mt Braddoos. Pa.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 22.-An explosion
at Furnace II of the Carnegie Steel
company at Braddock at 5 a. m, killed
six men, injured sixteen more and
destroyed $50, 900 worth Of property.
Five of the injured will die. All of the
killed and injured were Hungarians,
except James Harrison, the foreman.
Their James have lot been obtained.
The explosion was due to a hang in
the furnace, which suddenly was loos-
ened and dropped into the molten
metal below, generating an immense
quantity of gas so suddenly that it
could not escape by the ordinary means
and the explosion followed.
The terrible loss of life was due to a
peculiar cause. A few minutes before
the explosion occurred, N Of the top
filters dumped a barrow OF material
into the bell Of the furnace, which he
had forgotten to raise. This clogged
the top Of the furnace and prevented
the gas escaping. A gang OF Ii men,
in charge of James Harrison, were sent
at once to the top of the furnace to re-
move the obstruction. All were closely
crowded around the bell of the furnace
removing the material which had been
dumped on it, when there was a ter
rife explosion and men, barrows, tools
and material were hurled in all direc-
tions. FLAMES, deadly gases and
smoke belched from the furnace top,
and the gang of men fell as il shot.
Only one man was killed instantly, the
rest dying In the course Of two or three
hours.

the Defender withdrew after making

The Dakota Hot Springs.

The Hot Springs of Arkansas have
long been deservedly popular, for the
reason that there has been no other
place that has filled the require
ments of both health and a pleasure
resort. This>state of affairs has changed.
The Hot Springs OF South Dakota have,
in recent years, been thrown open to
the people, and because of their delight
full situation and great curative qualities
are becoming more popular every day.
Situated as this resort Is, in the famous
Black Hills, in the midst of beautiful
mountain scenery, possessing that
peculiar balsamic atmosphere which is
in itself health-giving, with waters that
are pronounced by experts equal if not
superior to those of any other mineral
springs in the world, it will soon out
rank any other like resort. The hotel
accommodations are of the best-hos-
telries with all the modern improve
ments and conveniences. The Evans
hotel, built of pink sandstone, with
steam heat, electric lights and every
room an outside one. is easily the best
conducted house between Chicago and
Denver. Fine bath houses are connect
ed with the best hotels. The rates OF
all the hotels are very reasonable.
The surrounding country is more than
picturesque-it is wonderful. The
marvellous "Wind Cave" the falls of
Fall River; Battle Mountain, the old
Indian battle ground; Deadwood and
the gold fields; and the famous Bad
Lands are all within driving distance.
The mammoth plunge bath at the
Springs is noted as being one of the
largest natatoriums in the world. So
healthful are the surrou ndlngs, and so
many the conveniences of this ''Carls-
bad of America" that it is rapidly be-
coming the Mecca" not only for in
valids, but for pleasure seekers as well.
