scene of n number of disastrous
fires since the coal mines were
opened there ten years ago, but
the conflagrations were never be.
fore attended with serious loss of
life.
The mine is owned by the
Oregon Short Line Railroad. Its
output is about 175,000 tons OF
coal per year and upwards of zoe
miners are employed.
The fire was discovered by a
boy named James Hetson, who
bravely ran and told many men
who were inside. Richard Fern
10 years old, also ran through
levels Nos 6, Z and s and mott
fed he men, and many were
saved through his courageous
action. Seven men, headed by
Mine Foreman Griffin, made
several desperate attempts to
reach the men through the lower
level, but their efforts were in
vain, four Of the seven being
knocked down by fire damp,
the others being compelled to
carry them to fresh air.
1t is given out by Superinten-
dent Thomas Sheldon, and con-
firmed by others familiar with
the condition, that the lives of
all the men were certainly ex-
tinguished within three minutes
after the fire gained ascendancy.
The fire is fully under control
tonight, and Superintendent
Sneddon announces that he will
open the mine tomorrow for the
recovery of the bodies and re-
sumo work before the week
closes.
Thomas Simpson, with his
young son, who are among the
victims, came to Diamondville
from Alabama, about six weeks
ago, bringing his wife, in the
hope that the change of climate
would benefit her health. The
shock of last nights tragedy
resulted in Mrs. Simpsons s
death today.

LYNCHING IN INDIANA.
Negro Beaten to Death and His
Body Hanged and Burned.

Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 90
Punishment, swift and terrible,
was metod out today to George
Ward, the negro who murdered
Miss Ida Finkelstein, the school
teacher, by shooting her with a
shotgun and cutting her throat
yesterday afternoon. A few
hours after his arrest an angry
mob battered down the doors of
the Jail, dragged the prisoner to
the Wabash bridge, several
squares away, and hanged him
to the bridge draw. Not con
tent with the hanging the crowd
cut the corpse down and laying
it on a sand bar under the
bridge, kindled a fire and Gre
mated the remains. 1t was the
first lynching that Terre Haute
ever experienced.
Ward was arrested at 10
O'Clock at the car works, where
he was employed as a laborer,
and after being fully identified
by two citizens made a confess
sion. His only excuse for the
murder was THAI Miss Finkel-
stein called him a "dirty Mig
ger" and slapped him in the
face.
Sheriff Fasig communicated
with Governor Durbin, but the
mob accomplished it's work be-
fore the militia could be ordered
out.
The governor had wired Capt
Thomas, of Company B, to place
his company, fully armed, in
readiness for duty.
At noon the crowd outside
the jail, numbering several hun
dred, including men, women
and boys, battered down the
iron doors, but were driven
back by Jailer Lawrence O'Don-
nell, who fired over the heads

children as the British generals
in South Africa were doing.
To put Boer women on half
rations because their husbands
had not surrendered, as was the
undenied practice in the recon
centrado camps, was he said,
worthy of the worst brigands Of
Sicily and Greece.
Mr. Dilton said thatin treAchery
and cruelty the balance was
against the British. DE congrat-
uiated the Beers on having q

Mr. Broderick replied that the
British conduct was humane.

five or six times, In some cases
