The city is under martial law, and all

emergency calmly and have organized
for relief work. Thousands OF people

have been established in various parts

manent shelter can be provided for the
homeless, and Jacksonville for some
time to come will be a city OF tents.

FIVE MEN KILLED OUTRIGHT.
Seven Others Received Injuries and Another
Is Missing.

South McAlester, l. T. (SpeciaD =
An explosion of gas occurred in the
mine OF the McAlester Coal Company
at Anderson, by which five men lost
their lives, seven were injured, and an
other is reported missing.
The explosion occurred at about o45
o'clock a. IN. About 125 men were at
work in the mine at the time, 1t is not
definitely known how the gas ignited,
but it is probable that some OF the men
fired shot that the shot frers had not
fired. The shot frers enter the mine
in the evening after the miners leave
and fire all the shots or blasts that the
miners have prepared. Sometimes shots
are not well prepared, and the shot fir
ers refuse to fire them. Occasionally
in these cases the men aiterward fire the
shots themselves, although this is
against the rules of the mine. 1t is
thought that this was done by some OF
the men who we're afterward killed or
injured by the explosion. The dead are
all asphyxiated.
