Eighteen Men Consigned to Hades Before

Red Hot Goals.

Danville. Ill. Aug. q. The large coal
mine operated by A. II. Bennett caught
fire early yesterday morning, and
burned until two o'clock in the after.
noon. Eighteen men were in the mine at
the time, and barely escaped with their
lives. When the alarm was given the
entire force rushed To the shaft and
found ii in flames, the cage and cable
having been burned.
They resolved TO try the air shaft ut
the other end Of the mine. and started
to fight their way through the dense
smoke and fire. The props were all
ablaze and huge burning Jumps of coal
added To the intense heat.
Several of the men sank exhausted
and had to be carried out by their com
panions. Burned and bruised they lit
orally crawlet over red hot Goals and
timber until their bodies were one
mass of wounds. When they reached
the air shaft they were drawn up by
means Of ropes. Many of them were
SO completely exhausted that ropes had
to be tied around their bodies in order
to get them out.
Some of the men may die from the
effects of burrs. Charles Hatfield and
son we're among those who were Sc
riously burned. The mules and horses
used for teaming were all cremated.
The mine is practically worthless, and
will probably never be worked again.

Sir: To you-who always 50 willing to help-i
appeal tn give place In your columns 10 my plant
which voices the sentiments of numberless other
mothers. Why. oh. why. must this continual
sacrifice OF young lives to the manly 90 and

wait until the playing OF this game becomes GRIM

rounds OF pugilism or will the professors or others
who have young men in charge realize before II Is
too late that in sanctioning this game they are
making one Of the steps which are fast leading our
