KILLED
IN LOST CREEK MINE
Awful Explosion in an Iowa Coal
Mine Yesterday.

OskaIoosa. Iowa, Jan. 24.-The Lost
Creek coal mine was the scene today OF
q terrible disaster which cost the lives
of twenty-one miners. Eight others are
serious injured. The bodies of the dead
men We're recovered from the mine and
lie tonight in an improvised morgue
near the scene of their destruction. The
injured all of whom were frightfully
cut and bruised and burned, are under
the care of surgeons in temporary
hospital equipped near the mine.
The dead are: Joe Gaspers, Frank
Gaspers. Jim Stohal, Sylvester Creigh
ten. Joe Berto. Andy Pash. Frank Sc
cress, John Martin, John Bros. Mike
Hraha, Jack Manley, Mike Cox, Jr.,
Mike Cox, Sr., Boone Fish, Russ Fish,
a. b. Crews, Jack Elder. Dave Walter,
sam Humphrey, Jim Humphrey and
Alex Gray.
The Lost Creek mine is ten miles
southeast of Oskaloosa and three miles
north of Endyville. An explosion oc-
Cured at the noon hour and was what
is known as a dust explosion. The
miners had just fired the usual gun
shots. one of which proved to be ii
fi;:zle, the powder flame igniting the gas
ard causing the explosion. Smoke and
debris We're brown out of the mine IL
works was torn away and the fans and
cages were wrecked. This made the
work of rescue very slow and it was 3
o'clock before volunteer parties dared
venture into the east entry, where the
explosion occurred.
The men of the rescue party fought
their way into the mine, where a shock
ing sight met their gaze. The dead and
injured were terribly burned and
niutilated, some almost beyond recog
milton. Beyond where the bodies lay
the fire was burning fiercely and it
was feared that the workings would be
wholly destroyed and the bodies incin-
Grated. Finally. however, the flames
were subducd. The bodies We're then
collected and carried to the top of the
shaft. At the time of the explosion
more than 300 men were in the mine
but those in the east entry escaped with
only slight injury. The total property
damage will be about $4,000.

SPITEFUL DEFENDANT
Wants to Plead Guilty to Beat a JUS
tice Out of His Fees.

The justice OF the peace is an ever
interesting theme and almost any story
concerning him commands attention.
There are always two kinds of him, and
Only two; one who does too much bust
ress and one who does not do enough.
There is no happy medium. In the heat
and excitement of taXpaying time the
former is blamed most and at all other
times the latter comes in for the
greater share of blame. Boards of SUI
pervisors always blame most the JUS
tice whose bill is the longest.
There is one justice in this county of
whom the supervisors have never COM
planned. At the end or some quarters
he presents no bill at all; his business
is mostly civil, if there is any business.
Last quarter he had only one case, not
withstanding the community in which
he resides is no more a model for good
order than any other. He is never neg
lectful of his duties. but he is singularly
unfortunate. Here is an instance: Near
the end of the quarter he had not had Il
single criminal case; one day man
was brought in charged with having
committed misdemeanor. He pleaded
not guilty and the case was set for trial
the next day. The justice figured up
the costs, those that had already ac-
CCCed ana those tnat might naturally
De expected to run up in a case which
runs it's course.
Before the hour for trial the culprit
came and said that he had changed his
mind: he had not time to fool around
justices courts he said and he had de-
cided tc plead guilty. The justice con-
strued this as a move to beat him QUE
OF his future fees and he indignantly
refused to accept the plea. He said
that court was not being run to suit
the whimS of criminals; if the defend
ant was not guilty the day before he
was not guilty now. That was a mat
ter to be proved, and it was going to
be proved.
The defendant insisted on the enter
ing of his plea and the justice went to
see a lawyer to learn if there was no
way to force him to trial. Said he:
i've already spent half a day on that
case: I've written complaints and sum
monses and subpoenaes; l got my costs
all made up, and there is really
Eothing more to do except swear the
witnesses and hear the case. Now the
scoundrel come in and wants to plead
guilty. He's just doing it for spite. He
don't like me anyhow. / don't have to
accept his plea, do 1, judge"

HOW BRUIN IS TRAPPED.
His Appetite for Honey and Chess
Usually Leads Him to Captivity
and Death.

OF all the wild tangles of New
Brunswick there is possibly no re-
gion so inaccessible as the n in
which the North Pole branch takes
its course. This stream, smooth and
placid, has it's banks covered by bal
sans. There the beaver has his
playground, and in the alder swales
the bear rolls in wet places, while to
escape the flies the moose stands in
the water up to his ears, silently
chewing river grass. Bears are the
deadly enemies of the moose, the
flesh of whose young they are fond
of. In the trapping of bears, which
is an arduous task, the bones OF a
moose make excellent bait. The
setting of a trap requires much skill
and knowledge of bear habits. In
warm weather they haunt the green
woods, and go very often to some
stream for a drink. Therefore a
bunch of green timber close by the
water, in the midst of burnt woods
or barrens, is an ideal bear-set.
A bear trap has jaws a foot wlde'
and weighs ten or twenty pounds.
The steel springs cannot be pressed
down by the weight of a man, but
are held down by some sort OF a
lever. The place selected for a trap
is where three or four small trees
grow close together, and these sur
rounded with brush on three sides.

ing Ones Girl When Buying
of Cinnamon.

That the Chinaman always has his
eye on the ''main chance" is a fact
that anybody may find out for him
self by visiting the place in New York
city where he disports himself, even as
he does on his native heath.
Not long ago two young men walking
along Mott street, partaking OF that
weird combination of animal and veg
etable life, known to commerce as
"chop suey," were attracted by the
chinaware displayed in the shop win
dows of Won Soou Wou.
They wanted some individual teapots
for their bachelor apartment, and en-
tered the shop and inquired the price,
says the New York Mail and Express.
"Thlirty-fve cent said Wou. They
promised to call again.
The very next night the younger and
better-looking of the two paid a visit
to the same shop. This time he had
with him his best girl, to whom he had
promised q teapot. He told Wou to
wrap up one, and offered in payment IS
cents.
But Wou was wise to the changed sit
uation, and with a face that would have
made his fortune in the muscular
American game, said:

A CATCHES MICE.
Big White Pet Of . Brooklyn Family
IL Indefatigable In His Mouse
Hunting.

A Brooklyn man boasts that he has
the best in the country, ant
it is not a cat either. It is q big white
rat. a pet of his children. This rat,
with several of his kind, has been kept
in a cage in an unusued stable in the
rear of the mans home. Their food
attracted all the mice in the neighbor-
hood, until the place swarmed with
them, and they began to overflow into
the house.
The man told the children that he
would have to get rid of their pets.
The little son went back in the stable
and let the rats out, so that papa could
not catch them. The grandfather OF
the lot, . big fellow, scurried of into
the straw and, in q minute, there was
q squeaking. He oon appeared with
a mouse in his mouth.
He carried it into the cage, and start
ed out after another mouse, which he
500 caught. He seemed to have a
strong hatred for them, and was indie.
fatigable in his hunting. He was left
at liberty all night, and in the morning
ten mice were dead in the cage-N. =
