In all probability fear of the five child

their maintenance.
Marks is one of the two men cited yes

why he did not make more eff
forts to care for his children as his neigh
bors thought he should At first he
could not be found. but late in the even
ing he was gobbled up by a deputy sheriff
and locked up at the county Jail. Today
he faced the members of the board, but
had little to say in regard to his alleged
neglect of the youngsters. w. D. Clark,
chairman of the board. old him a woman
had been sent to his house last night to
look after the children and he would be
expected to pay her SIS for one week.
Asked if he would consent to four of the
children. the girls. becoming inmates of

He was then told he would have to look
after the welfare of the 11-year-old boy

board with the other four children next
Friday and on Saturday morning they
would be sent to the home. IF he failed

NOT EFFECT CLARK CASE,
OPINION OF JUDGE BICKFORD RE-
GARDING WELCOME DIS
BARMENT.

"The disbarment of Mr.. Welcome by
the supreme cour will have no bearing
whatever in the contest that has been
instituted in the United States senate
against Senator w. A. Clark was Judge
Bickford's reply to a question put to
him by a reporter of the Inter Mountain
this afternoon.
Mr.. BickfOrd was one of Mr.. Well
comes counsel when the case was before
the supreme court, and was one of the
Clark leaders in his fight for the toga
last winter.
1.-THE senate has a precedent to fol-
low" continued the judge, "in the case of
Senator Henry b. Payne of Ohio. It is
Utmost a parallel. Payne qualified on
March 4, 1881. More than a year later
a special committee investigated charges
of bribery against four members of the
Ohio legislature who had voted for
Payne. The report, together with the
evidence. was presented to the senate
in the effort to unseat payne, and was
referred to the committee on privileges
and elections. Later. memorials from
the Ohio state central committee of
Payne's W party, from both branches
of the Legislature and from the repub-
lican editors of Ohio. charging Payne
with bribery. were presented, Com
gressmen Little and Butterworth offered
to produce evidence to substantiate the
charges. The majority report of the

senate committee was to the effect hat
the evidence was not sufficient to war
rant investigation. The minority report
favored an investigation. 1t was held
that in order to deprive a member of his
seat it should be shown that he was per-
sonally guilty of the corrupt practices
charged"
In speaking of the disbarment, Attor-
ney r. L. Clinton said:
Il have had nothing to do with this
fight one way or another, but l think
Welcome should have been tried on a
charge of felony before the matter went
into the hands of the supreme court.
He was entitled to a jury trial. A few
days ago l was given to understand that
one reason why the matter was taken
direct to the supreme our was because
the prosecutors of Mr.. Welcome were
afraid he would not be given a square
trial on a felony charge in Helena. 1t
10 difference what they thought;
he was entitled to a trial there just the
same"
Judge William Dewitt said that while
he was sorry for Welcome. it was moth
ing more than he expected.

MINERS PERISH
In an Accident In a Penn
Sylvania Coal Mine,
PROBABLY FIFTY DEAD

Brownsville, Pa. Dec. pam eXplo-
sion occurred at the Brasnell Coal works,
four miles from here, to-day. Seventy
five men are reported entombed. There
is great excitement. Miners are flock
ing from surrounding mines to assist in
the rescue. The mine is owned by the
Stoclcdale Coal company and is not in the
combine.
AS soon as it was learned an explosion
occurred, relatives of the entombed
miners crowded around the mouth Of the
drift. The scenes We're heartrending.
Wives We're crying in despair and child
rem were weeping for their fathers. A
rescuing party Immediately set to work.
Volunteers We're numerous and word was
Sent for the best mining. engineers in the
district. It is thought a road will be
made into the mines in a few hours. At
present there is no idea what caused the
disaster.
TIL explosion at the Stockdale Coal
company's Brasnell mine is likely the
worst since the Hill mines disaster at
dunbar. The explosion was terrific II
was heard plainly at Brownsville, three
miles distant. The main shaft was to-
tally wrecked and rendered helpless.
About four cages of mel had gone down
to work. Thomas, a cageman on his
fourth trip went to the bottom with IA
men and gave the signal for the cage
to rise when the explosion occurred. The
cage was blown with terrific force to
the top of the shaft and fell back to the
bottom. completely blocking access to
the mine. Timbels We're hurled hun-
dreds of feet, the lower ring of brick
work in the air shaft was completely
wrecked and had to be tunneled to get
into the mine at all. Eleven men I'VE
been gotten out. Afr tunneling the
wreckage at the bottom of the air shaft,
two men in the underground mule stable
were found alive, but almost suffocated
from bad air.
Thu mine is supposed to be on fire, as
a dense volume of SNAKE binders the
entrance of rescue parties into the mine.
One man of a rescue party went to the
bottom of the air shaft and was brought
little hope for 40 or SO men yet in the
mine.
The machinery is in such shape that
the fan cannot be worked, which pre-
vents forcing fresh air to the entombed
men. Volumes of bad air and smoke are
issuing from the mine The work of
rescue is necessarily slow, as the res
cuers nave to dig their way into the
mine, so great was the explosion. One
year ago, just the day before Christmas,
a humble were killed in a mine explo-
sion in the Umpire mine.
Pittsburg, Dec. 23.-The Stockdale COM
pany with Offices in this city received a
report from Brasnell that six bodies
have been recovered from the mine and
forty men We're still entombed.
