Wyoming Mine Explosion.

Hanna, Wyoming, June 30,-
Hanna was the scene of terrible
disaster at 1890 a. M, when an ex-
plosion of fire damp in mine No.
of the Union Pacific Coal Company
snuffed out the lives of 234 men, in
jured scores of others and caused
the destruction of vast amount of
property.
The mine was not fired, as was
stated in the earlier reports, but the
explosion was terrific and completely
shattered the timbers of the main
shaft and numerous entrances, filing
the working with debris, and those
of the miners that were not killed
outright by the explosion were buried
alive. The explosion was heard for
many miles around and attracted
people from the adjoining settle
ments. Huge timbers and railroad
iron were hurled 500 feet from the
mouth of the shaft.

negro man who attempted to assault
and mortally wounded Mrs. Emil
Gronle, wife of farmer who lives
5 miles southeast of this point.
The negro appeared at the Gronle
home just as Mrs. Gronle' was pre-
pairing to join her husband in the
cotton field. He demanded money,
and before the woman could reply
seized her and threw her to the floor.
The negro was armed with a razor,
with which he slashed his victim
across the abdomen, almost scvering
her body. The dogs about the yard
set up barking and frightened the
negro away.
Bloodhounds were secured from
San Antonio and put on the trail of
the negro. Mrs. Gronle is still alive,
but not expected to survive the
night. She was able to give a de-
tailed description of her assailant.
The leaders of the posse say that the
negro, if captured, will be burned
to death.

Told In a Dream.

Here is an interesting, if some
what "creepy," story which reaches
us from correspondent upon whose
good faith we can rely. A certain
young lady whom we will call May
A., was recovering from illness. The
doctor had declared her to be out of
danger, and her friends and friends
and relatives were rejoicing in the
fact. Nevertheless Miss A., receiv.
ing visit one day from sister,
gravely assured her that she was
going to die. The sister poohpoohed
the idea and treated it as an invalid g
fancy. Miss A., however, with the
utmost calmness, repeated her state
ment. She was certain that she
would die that night and begged her
sister to fetch her parents and other
relatives to say goodbye. Thinking
to humor her, the sister complied.
One person was absent from this
this strange family gatherings
brother, who was at sea and was ex-
pected home in a week or two. "But
it does not NATTER" Miss A. quietly
observed. 81 saw him last night in
a dream and said good-by to him in
his cabin" Before the sun rose
again Miss AS prediction had come
true; she was dead. That, however,
is not the strangest part of this wierd
story. When in due time the sailor
brother reached port he was met by
his other sister who began to tell
him the sad news. "Ah," he inter
rupted, "you need not tell me
Mary is dead. l knew it, for she
came to me one night in my dreams
and told me she was going TO die
and wanted to say goodbye" On
comparing dates it was found that
the dreams were dreamed on the
selfsame night.-London News.
