BABY KLINE DISASTER.
List of Bodies Recovered Numbers
Twelve.

BLUEFIELDS. w. Va, Nov. 10
The reports from the Baby mine to-
night are that the fire has practically
been extinguished, three huge streams
of water having been poured into the
burning mine since last night. Since
2 o'clock this morning three bodies
have been taken out, all badly charred-
They have not been identified, and are
probably the bodies of Hungarians.
Walter II. O'Mauey, superintendent of
the mine, says that no more bodies are
in the shaft, but a number of miners
say that at least eight more are in
the mine. The list of bodies recovered
now numbers twelve, and two or three
of the injured may yet die. Eight bod
les of the unfortunateS were buried
today in the same cemetery where are
buried 200 or more miners who met
death in the same mine nearly fifteen
years ago.
