We're circulated yesterday and over
800 raised for the assistance which
they need. Nearly $40 was also con-
tr1buted 10 the widow of Joseph CITY s
victim, V r. Miller.
The body and face of Mr. Muir wess
not bruised in any way. The faces Of
one of his sons and of his son-in-law
Mr.. BjOrnson, showed few bruises.
while the other son was considerably
bruised and his casket was not opened.
They were all undoubtedly filled by
the cnncussion of the explosion, or by
being hurled against the walls Of the
mine.
The blow is a severe and trying one
to the family, especially to Mrs. Muir,
but friends are doing all that is pos
sfble 10 comfort and aid her. The
young widow was a bride of only three
months.
