DISASTROUS EXPLOSION.
Fire Damp Causes Terrible Con.
cussion, Which Results Fa.
tally to Colorado Miners.

Pueblo, Colo. Aug. s.-A special TO
the Chieftain from Trinidad says:
A most disastrous explosion occurred
this evening al No. 3 mine at Bowen, a
small camp about 10 miles north OF this
place. The exact number OF men work
ing on the nj CHIT shift and in the mine
at the time OF the explosion is un-
known. The mine is worked by the
Union Coal Company. OF Denver. and
is a Slope mine. situated on the noun
tain side and about 400 yards from the
tipple below. The explosion occurred
about 500 feet from the mouth OF the
stope and was caused by fire damp.
Immediately after the night shift had
started in the stope a terrible explosion
occurred. entirely filling the mouth OF
the stope and shaking buildings and
breaking windows for a mile distant.
Owing to the mouth of the Slope be-
ing filled the rescuers were delayed for
some time. hut succeeded in reaching
part OF the men through an old slope
and eight dead bodies were quickly
brought 10 the surface.
The powder house in the mine. us
ually. containing 1000 pounds OF pow
der. blew up. and il is this which
caused such great disaster. The general
belief is that the entire mine has been
ruined and ii not il will take months 10
get il in working order again.

Sound maynard at Bremerton, and
there is more work in sight for that
yard than ever before in its brief but
eventful history. The cruisers Boston
and Philadelphia and the training ship

TO these the battleships Oregon and
Wisconsin are now at the maynard I'M
dergoing extensive repairs and upon
the arrival OF the remaining craft there
will be feet ri five gathered AT the
yard. with possibility that the battle
ship Manila will be ordered to the yard
from California waters.
The repairs 10 the Wisconsin cost up
wards OF $50 900. the work on the Ore

rating $3.50 900: and the work on the
Boston $500 900. Then the govern

the matter was taken up AT Washing

The desperate, making a flying trip
south from Pretson. pursued 10y 20 arm

pursuers were so dose upon him that a
dozen shots were fired at him as he
made his way from the road over the
sparsely grown ground.

fleeing murderer. il was believed best
to detour and, surround him in aswampy

Suddenly lone shot was heard and
his pursuers thought that the outlaw
was shooting AT them from ambush. II
was decided to wait until daylight be-

This morning no signs OF Tracy We're
