BLEW HELENA SAFE.
Fold Robbery Of Business House
Yields 5000.

Helena, Oct. 26.-As bold a rob-
berry as has been chronicled here in
years took place last night in the
feed store of Sanford & Evans, on the
corner Of Fuller ven and Law
renee street, practically in the heart
of the business section. Safe blowers
gained an entrance to the establish
ment through the front door. They
drilled into the large Office safe and
literally blew n of the doors on the
strong box to pieces with dynamite.
The robbers secured 5000 in cash. The
work showed evidences Of having been
done by experts. The cracksmen stole
nearly all the tools used in the safe
blowing from an adjoining black
smith shop, and left them in the ruins
of the safe. A bartender in an ad-
jacent saloon claims to have heard
the shot fired by the safe blowers,
but beyond this no one seems to have
an inkling Of the crime until the work
of the robbers was discovered today.

TERRIFIC Mine EXPLOSION

Il. BRINGS DISASTER.
Five Men Killed and Nine Injured
In Butterwood Coal Mine
Near WiIkesbarre.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 25.-A terri
fc explosion of gas occurred in But
tonwood mine Of the Parrish Coal
company, situated one mile south of

jury of nine others. Killed
EBENEZER WILLIAMS, first as
sistant foreman.

Directly after the explosion occur
red a number Of rescuers, at the risk
Of their lives, entered the mine, filled
with dangerous afterdamp, and
brought out the bodies Of the dead
and injured.
So far as can be learned the ex-
plosion was caused by the careless
ness of one Of the Hungarian labor
ers, who vas injured. He opened his
safety lamp while at work in his
chamber. This caused a small body
Of gas to explode, which, however,
did not injure the men, or cause any
damage. The explosion was heard,
however, by the foreman and his as
s%istants, who rushed into the cham.
.
Der, only to encounter another body
of gas which had accumulated from
the first explosion. The second ex-
plosion was Of such force that it
hurled the men in all directions. The
bodies Of the dead were badly man
gled.

structure. Many Of them rendered
practically insane by fright leaped to
the ground and others, becoming UNI
conscious from the smoke and intense
heat fell to the pavement. When the
iremen arrived Commerce street was
filed with those unfortunate victims
and for the space Of an hour the
police and hospital service was taxed
to its utmost capacity.
Dangerous for Firemen.
For an hour the roaring flames
threatened the lives Of every n who
al compelled to work fighting the
fire or protecting the surrounding
property, and every minute Of time
threatened many other thousands Of
dollars worth Of property on all sides
Of the building in which the blaze
started. 1t looked for a time as il
the entire block would become a prey
to the flames, but the falling Of the
walls Of the burning building prevent
ed the spread Of the fire.
Adjoining the Hunt, Wilkinson &
Co. building is an eight story struc-
ture nearing completion. When the
walls Of the blazing establishment
collapsed the firemen secured a broad
opportunity Of playing on the adjoin-
ing buildings and thus prevented the
flames from attacking surrounding
property.
Searching Debris for Bodies.
By noon the fire was under control
and at 2 o'clock this afternoon a force
Of men ordered by the department Of
public safety, began the work Of clear
ing away the debris for the purpose
Of recovering the bodies Of the vic
Tins buried in the ruins.
