TERRIBLE SCENES.
The scenes around the homes where
the dead bodies are lying have drawn
some of the immense crowd away from
the worl1men at the entrance to the mine.
Those working on the rescue relays say
that the scene becomes more terrible as
they get farther into the mine. The men
become almost faint of heart when they
strike place filled with dead bodies and
in case the bodies are recognizable they
are confronted with the remains of an
old friend.
Most of the bodies that cannot be iden-
titled or recognized have been placed in
the large blacksmith shop of the Red
ASH coal company, ana that place pre-
sents the appearance of a horrible
morgue. Although the bodies are man
gled beyond recognition, yet they are
surrounded by those who are in distress
and hunting their lost friends.
The general belief is that the explosion
occurred by contact with dust when the
miners entered this morning with their
lights, and that 1t was not due to fire
damp, as has been currently reported all
day.
Nearly all the men employed In the
mine were white, only about one-fifth
being colored. and most of the men were
married and had families in the little cot
tages near the tipple of the great NINE

1t is said that Frank Hamilton, who
is awaiting trial in Minnesota for MUIR
dering Leonard Day, received more
Christmas presents than any man in
Minneapolis. Considering such silly
actions as this there is little wonder that
murder is committed. 1t may be that
the accused is innocent, or the courts
may determine that his action was
justitiable homicide, but until one or the
other of these findings are made there is
no excuse for making a hero of the
prisoner, in fact every sensible argu,
ment is against it. AS long as thers are
silly women and foolish men to worship
murderer through the bars there will
be incentive toward committing the
crime.
