BOYS HARD LUCK.
Broke His Arm and Didn't See the
Ball Game.

Broke His Arm and Didn't See the
Ball Game.
The efforts Of an 11-year-old youth
to see the Sunday game Of baseball
last Sunday afternoon cost him a
broken arm. The lad was Lyle Hard
man, the son of Job Hardman who lives
near Eighth South and Second West
streets. ttfff
When it was about time for the game
to begin Sunday afternoon Lyle and
some companions betook themselves TO
the field and began a search for a con-
Venient peep hole In their search they
spied the inviting branches of tree
that offered an excellent grand stand
and Immediately they began a scramble
for the choice branches. In the push
ing and pulling that attended the ef-
forts TO get a good place, Lyle was
pushed off a limb and fell ten or twelve
feet to the ground below. He struck on
his right arm and fractured the bone.
The boy was picked UP by some by
ISLANDERS and taken to his home where
a physician was called TO attend him.
The broken bone was soon set and
yesterday the lad was recovering as
nicely as could be expected.

FIVE MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES
BY AN EXPLOSION IN A MINE


The explosion occurred about a
quarter before z this morning at about
the entry between shaft 3 and slope Z.
which led to the same mine. About l25
men were at work in the mine at the
time. IT is not definitely known how
the gas ignited, but IL seems probable
that some of the men fired a shot that
the shot firers had overlooked. The
shot firers enter the mine in the even
ing after the miners leave, and fire ali
the shots or. blasts that the miners
have prepared. Sometimes shots are
not Well prepared and the shot ffers
refuse TO fire them. Occasionally in
these cases the men afterward fire the
shots themselves, although this, is
against the rules of the mine.
1t is thought that was done this
morning by some of the men who were
afterwards killed or injured by the ex-
plosion. The dead were all asphyxiat-
ed. The. explosion was not severe as
others working in other parts of the
mine did not hear it, and the engineer
at the shaft mouth heard no noise, but
saw some smoke arise. No damage was
done TO the mine.
