SOMEBODY CUT HER.
Lou Simpson Denies That He Ever As
saulted Mary Harris.

Wednesday evening Mexican woman
named Mary Harris was brought to the
receiving hospital suffering from knife
wounds. which she said in the presence
of the officers had been inflicted by
negro named Lou Simpson and a wo-
man named Louisa his companion, dur
ing a row in a restaurant
She stated that Simpson had struck
her first, having knife in his hand at
the time, which weapon had later been
handed to or snatched by Louisa who
slashed her alongside the cheek with it.
Yesterday Simpson called at the police
station and denied that he had been en-
broiled in any row with the Harris wo-
man, nor had he struck at her at any
time, with either his fists or a knife.
The fact that he voluntarily called at
the police station would seem to go far
toward establishing his innocence, and
that he has not been arrested Is proof
that the police believe his statement
that he was not in any manner connect
ed with the cutting scrape.

was the only one in thilt vic nifty who
escaped alive. The explosion was SO
severe that. it was plainly felt at the
mouth of the shaft. I he roof of the
fan house was. blown off and all the air
ways and brattice inside were wrecked
and blown away
The alarm was promptly given and
hundreds of men women and children
rushed to the head of the shaft. The
grief of the women who had husbands,
sons or brothers in the mine was heart
rending.
The work of organizing rescue gangs
was begun without delay. 1t was per-
ilous undertaking as the sequel proved
but no man faltered. Fireboss William
r. Jones and Assistant Mine Foreman
John Josephs selected the men for the
first party and themselves led the way
All were overcome by the dread after
damp, but not until they had found
Driver Boss David Williams.
All except Joseph succeeded in reach
ing the foot of the shaft and were re-
moved to the surface, but the old fire
boss, William II. Jones, succumbed to
the deadly firedarnp and died in half an
hour after being brought out, despite
the efforts of the doctors to save his life.
John Josephs. the other hero, became
separated from the first party and the
second rescuing party found his body
and removed it to the surface at 2:30
o'clock
A number of company men who were
working in different part of the shaft
reached the surface by the No. 5 shaft,
and also by another opening. 1t is
thought impossible to reach the four
men in the rock tunnel until the air cur
rents are opened.
Large streams of water were sent down
the shaft to establish a temporary air
current while the work of rescuing was
in progress. Superintendent laval
believes there may be six men insiee,
but a miner insists there are twelve.
1t is supposed all are dead. The rescue
party of twelve men in charge of Mine
Foreman John F. Jones is slowly maxi
ing way to the rock tunnel and building
an air passage the entire distance to in
sure safety. The mine damp is very bad
and the work of rescuing is progress
ing at great risk
On March 2 1890, in this same colliery
eight men were imprisoned and died be-
fore they could be reached by the res
cuing party.
The bodies of Thomas Owens Will
lam Lacey, James Heron and John
Worth, who were at work in the tuzs
mel were found at 8 o'clock. They were
horribly burned and hardly recogniz-
able. 1t isl believed that six is the total
number of the dead.
