SCENES AND INCIDENTS
OF SCOFIELD TRAGEDY

Especial to Herald From Staff. Core

Scoheld, May 6.-Here are a few of
the incidents that have transpired ana
are daily transDiring in this town of
desolation and misery. A volume
larger than the Bible would be required
to chronicle them ali.
On the afternoon Of the day of the
explosion, while the turmoil and ex-
element was atits height a couple Of
young men appeared at the mouth of
tunnel No. and asked permission to
go in and search for their brother, Ben
Lloyd AT that time. it was considered
madness to venture on the inside, and
the management refused TO let the. boys
go to what seemed certain death. They
persevered, however. finally going in
under protest. After a search of two
hours they came upon the place where
Ben was last seen alive. and together
they dug out his charred remains.
Elmer B. Bearnsen, related to the
family that was wiped out. received d
dispatch while working on the railroad
in Wyoming to come on at once. He
arrived here Friday evening. to learn
hat the dead ones he sought, accom-
panied by relatives. were on the fu-
neral train. which he had passed on
the way. The young man was deter
mined to get back to Sewer in time to
see them buried, and first procuring
an order for transportation from the
company officials that would carry him
from Cotton to Richfield. he started at
midnight to walk to the junction, a
distance Of eighteen miles, in ORDER TO
make an early connection.
The instances Of bravery among the
young boys employed in the mine are
remarkable for their number. Little
James Daverly was tending door at
raise Nc. S in No. I. when a sudden
gust Of wind, as he supposed, blew it
open. He promptly closed it. but the
unusual performance was repeated.
For the third time he shut and braced
his shoulder against it, but then came
the terrible blast, and he was carried
over two cars and landed in the tun-
mel ditch. He got up, thinking an ex-
plosion had occurred in the air shaft.
or else there was an earthquake. He
felt that he had remained at his post
long enough, at any rate, and the little
fellow made his way through the dark
tunnel and out into the open, a dis
lance of $500 feet. He was unhurt.
Phil Thomas came in from Spanish
Fork Friday afternoon, looking for
dead relatives He walked IN and
down the street. making inquiries for
them; searched the charnal houses
without result, and had about con-

The esteem in which Billy McIn-
tosh is held was demonstrated when a
rumor gained credence that he was in
No. 4. This was at the very beginning,
when to go in was almost certain death.

family. Theirs is one of the most con-
spicqous examples of brotherly love.
Here was one of the most pathetic
stories of that fatal May day. A lad
by the name Of Willie Davis started
for the mouth of the tunnel, cover
ing hia mouth and nostrils with his
cap, but seeing a miner in distress, the
little hero removed his cap to use both
hands in assisting the man to rise. By
doing so he was caught by the fatal
after-damp, and both shared the same
fate. When found the two were to-
gether. with the boys arms locked
around the mans waist, showing that
the lad had attempted to rescue his
elder.

THE TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN
The Distinction that Came Upon Hon. E.
W. Hurst, Yesterday.


W. Hurst, Yesterday.
The announcement appearing in
the Associated Press dispatches in
The ARGUS of last evening of the
selection by the democratic state CEN
trail committee of Hon. E. W. Hurst,
of this city, as.temporary chairman of
the democratic state convention. soon
to assemble at Spring field, occasioned
much satisfaction among Mr.. Hurst's
warm friends, and he received many
congratulations on the honor that
had come to him. 1T was wholly
unexpected, 1 am sure" said MIR.
Hurst in speaking OF his appointment.
II had not autici plted, or even
thought of it. but it seems to have
come as have the many unexpected
and highly complimentary mentions
of my name in connection with what
the convention NAV do. through the
kindness OF my friends in different
parts of the state. While my plans
to go abroad may be interrupted
somewhat in consequence, l shall &C
cept the honor and endeavor to prove
worthy of it."
The Chicago papers view the Sc
lection of Mr.. Hurst as temporary
officer of the convention with favor.
The Times-Herald, speaking of the
significance of the state central COM
mittee's choice, says: lin so far as
there may be an advantage for any
body in the temporary organization
of the convention it is Alschuler's.
Mr.. Hurst, while from county in
structed for Charles K. Ladd, is prob
ably the most intimate friend Mr.. AL
schiller has in politics in the state.
If important questions for the deci-
sion of the chair arise he is not likely
to give Mr.. Alschuler the worst of it.
The sergeant-at-arms, John A. Logan,
of Elgin, is also an Alschuler man.
Mr.. Hurst is a warm friend of Ben T.
Gable, of Rock Island, who was some
what identified with the inception of
the gold movement in 1896. Mr.
Hurst. however, was regular. In the
last session of the legislature he was
one of the most influential mem bers
of the democratic side. Mr.. Rapp,
temporary secretary, is president of
the democratic State Editorial associ-
alton"
The Tribune has this in its COM
ments: 1T was said that Mr.. Hurst
might possibly be the nominee for
governor in case the convention gets
deadlock between Orendorff. Orsei-
fen and Alschuler. Hurst is a great
friend of Ben T. Cable, representa-
tive of the young element in demo-
cratic politics, and is regarded as an
exceedingly capable man

plete Canvass.

While the enumeration of the CEN
sus in Rock Island has not yet been
completed to that point where official
figures are obtainable, conservative
estimates give the city healthy in
crease in population in the last 10
years. From such information as
The ARGUS has been able to secure, it
is safe to approximate the growth at
10000 additional population at least
and it is hoped it will be greater than
that.
Unusual interest, locally speaking at
least, has attached TO the taking OF
the census of 1900, and if all the peo-
pie who are really residents of the
city have been enrolled, the increase,
it is believed. will not fall short of the
foregoing estimate. The enumera-
tors deser credit for the efforts they
have and are putting forth to see to
it that no one is allowed to escape en-
rollment. Cooperation of the people
with Uncle Sans inquisitors will in
sure a fair enumeration. aud that is
all Rock Island wants or has right
to expect.

pleted their canvass are: E. B. Nc
