The Democratic Primary.

was larger than in the Thomas Price
contest six years ago, and smaller
than in the recent Gubernatorial
election. The winning candidate, Mr..
Blackburn Smith, carried sill pre-
cincts by overwhelming msjorities,
his total majority in the county being
534. The defeated candidate receiv-
a total of Ill votes, which makes
Smiths approximate proportion 6 to
Messrs. VIM. f. Randolph and Geo.
B. Harrison, who were in the contest
at first, withdrew early, and the two
remaining contestants made a vigo-
rous house to house canvass of the
county.
The distinctive feature of the fight
was the good feeling between the as
pirants. This was generally remark
ed by the public, and the COURIER
would like to see the same condition
of affairs obtain in all our county
elections.

but one delegation on the tisket.

other conventions of the two counties
heretofore.

THlRTY-FIvE MINERS PERISH.
Frightful Disaster in Wyminq Coal
District.


Cheyenne, Feb. 27.--The worst dis
aster in the history Of coal mining in
Wyoming since the Almy horror eight
years ago occurred at Diamondville
Monday night when fire broke out in
mine No. 1 of the Diamondville Coal
and Coke company. Thirty-five miners
persisted and their charred bodies are
still in the mine. The fire was first
discovered shortly after the night
shift commenced work. It's cause is
not known but the flames made such
progress that only one man escaped.
The fires had already made such pro-
gress that it was impossible to enter
the rooms The entire night was
spent in combining the fire to the two
entries and yesterday morning it was
necessary to seal them up to prevent
the flames from spreading to other
parts of the mine.
This step was decided upon only
after all hope of saving the lives of
the men had been abandoned. 1t may
be several days before the barricades
can be removed and the chambers ex.
plored. Supt. Sheldon believes thirty
five men lost their lives.
