AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
Upwards of 200 Men Lose Their
Lives by an Explosion.
KEGS OF BLASTING POWDER BLOW UP
A Hundred and Thirty-seven Bodies Re-
covered So Far-Those in One Mine
Were Clicked, In the other Mine
Burned and Charred.

Scofeld, Utah, May 2.-By an ex-
plosion which occurred here at 1925
o'clock yesterday forenoon, in mine
No. 4, of the Pleasant Valley Coal
company, upward of 200 men lost
their lives. At this hour 1877 bodies
have been recovered and the work
of rescue is still proceeding. There
are willing hands at work and as
fast as bodies are reached they are
brought down to the boarding houses
and other company buildings, where
they are dressed and prepared for
the coroner's inquest. These build
ings are numerous and in each are
from ten to 35 bodies.
When n corpse is brought out, it is
carried from the mouth of the tunnel
to the place of deposit. Here there
is a corps of from four to ten men
with sponges, hot and cold water
in tubs and otner receptacles. The
clothing is first removed, the SCOT,
smoke and powder burns washed from
the face of the corpse, and then il
is laid out with the others in long
rows to await Identification by rela-
tives and friends.
The removal of bodies began at IL
o'clock yesterday, and every dill
gence is used to get the charred and
mangled remains ont of the mine.
Many hundreds of men have volun-
teered their services and as fast as
one set or force is tired out, Others
take their places. The stencil OF
smoke and powder is sickening, re-
sembling that of a dissecting room,
making the work of rescue most dis
agreeable as well as arduous.
AS soon as the accident occurred
officials of the coal company at Salt
Lake City and the officials of the
they have done everything since that
lay in their power.
The explosion occurred in No. 4
and extended by a connection to No
l. The men in No l were cholted
Those in No. 4 were burned and
charred. There were 25O men al
work in the two mines and only G
few of them escaped alive
The cause of the explosion is at
tributed to the blowing up of mum
Der of Kegs of blasting powder.
In one pile at No. mine there are
ten men, foreigners. as yet unknown
The injured, eight in number, wer,
taken on a SPECIAL train TO Salt Lake
leaving here at seven o'clock yester
day evening. There are one to tire,

Munchausen Outdone.

Most all English speaking people
are familiar with the wonderful feats
of Baron Munchsusen, and how he
suffered the misfortune to have his
steed cut in two. and how he dis
covered the misfortune when his
horse was drinking, how he rode back
and with willow sprouts sewed the
two parts together and ever after rode
beneath a willow grove which grew
from the horse's back. Well, Mack
Travis is the modern Munchausen.
Recently he bought a large home-
made willow chair and painted it.
Yesterday morning he was surprised
on looking at it to find that sprouts
had started along every twig of that
chair, the arms, the back, the rockers
all are coming out beautifully, the
buds paying no attention to the paint.
Mack keeps the chair at the granarY
near the Santa Fe depot and intends
to set 1t out on the ground, He con.
fidently expects in this way to see the
sprouts continue to grow into trees
with the chair as center, and he has
visions of a lovely and refreshing
rustic seat In years to come.

CASH SALES.
LAND OFFICE RECORDS THROUGH
THE UNITED STATES ARE IN
DICES OF PROSPERITY.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The records
of the United States land office show
that in times Of general prosperity the
land on the public domain is taken up
more rapidly than during periods of
commercial depression This is in
part the result of increased immigra-
ton, and also of the tendency Of the
people to acquire homes. The cash
sales Of lands in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1897, when the present admin
istration had been in power but three
months. NJ the cash sales aggregated less
than million dollars. This year
show gain of more than S3,OOO,OOo
worth in three years. In the fiscal
year S9S, after one year of republican
administration cash sales of land in
creased to about s2,OO0,OOO and in 1899
to about S3,O0O,OOO. These figures
are taken from the forthcoming report
Of Land Commissioner Hermann, who
says that the past year has been one
OF the busiest in the history Of the land

turning down of Col. 3. G. Gearey ais

county ticket who thought that it
would better serve the interests of the
whole ticket were a change in the head

that the county should be represented
and still felt that the chairman should

WOOL.

MONTANA sHEEPMEN STILL.
HAVE A LARGE SHARE OF
THEIR CROP ON HAND.
| w. E. Curtis of the Chicago Record,
| writing Of the wool market in Mon
tana, says: ri
| The material interests throughout
the state are in favor of the repuhh-
cans, with the exception of that OF
wool, which is now selling at about 16
cents a pound instead of 20 at this time
| a year ago. The wool growers under
stand the situation, however. Their
market is Boston, where there seems
to be considerable doubt as to the re-
election Of President Mckinley. At
least the wooden manufacturers are
not disposed to take any chances, and
if there is going to be a reduction or
loss in the price of that staple by the
election of Mr.. Bryan they are going.
to make the sheep-owner stand it.
During the last democratic admins
tration, before the Dingley bill was
passed, sheep and wool were worth less
tnan one-half of their value now, and
there seems to be an impression here,
as well as in Boston, that if Bryan is
elected similar conditions will prevail
1t is difficult to convince the wool
growers that the present high price Of
wool and sheep is due solely to the.
protective duty imposed by the Ding
ley law, and that it cannot be re-
pealed or amended without the con-
currence of the senate, which will re-
main in the control of the republicans
for at least four and probably for six
years.
THE timidity of the Boston woolen
manufacturer is unaccountable to the
Montana farmer 1t is the first evi-
dence Of doubt he has seen concerning
McKinley'ss election, and he doesn't
know what to make of it.
ttThe majority of the big sheep own
ers are holding on to their wool and
storing it at home or sending it east
to be stored on their account. The
wool market has been open for months
and this time last year nearly every
fleece had been sold, but more than
half of the crop still remains in the
hands of the ranchmen.

CANUCKs KICK.
Complaint Against Officials of Pembina
County Made by Manitoba
Authorities.
Investigation by the Governor Discloses
that the Complaints Made are
Groundless.

Governor Fancher has been inyesti-
eating complaint filed recently by
the authorities of the province of Nam
itoba, Canada, against the authorities
OF Pembina county, this state The
matter was referred to Ambassador
P'auncefote by Attorney General Camp
bell, and by the ambassador, through
Secretary of State Hay to- the COVER
nor. The charge made is that Mar
shal Jackson of Neche crossed over
into Canadian territory and arrested
two cattle thieves, Henry Martens and
William Dick, and took them by force
into Pembina county without e3tradi-
tion papers, and that when they were
brought into court on this side of the
line they were sentenced to the peni-
tentiary. The men were claimed to
be Canadian subjects. Governor Fan
cher inquired of States Attorney
Burke and found thats the men had
been arrested in Canada by a Canadian
official and turned over to Constable
Jackson, and according to the state
ment of that official, the two men
agreed to come over into the United
States without extradition. This
statement is borne out by the afidavits
OF the two men, now in the state pen
itentiary, who admit That they agreed
to come across the line without extra
dltion. The statements of the OIL
cials and the affidayits of the men will
be forwarded through the proper chan
nels to the Canadian government and
will undoubtedly prove satisfactory.
