newsboy, was found in a deserted space
near the Driving park, mile and half
from the city limits, Tuesday afternoon.
The child had been practically disem-

though with a sharp knife. In his throat
was stuffed an old handkerchief. His
hands were bound by his suspenders,
which were tied in hard knot. Beside
him lay his unsold papers, a bag of candy
and some pennies. The lad disappeared
from his home eight days ngo. A COM

been drowned in the river, three miles

DISASTER IN A MINE.
Firedamp Explosion Cuts OF Escape
of Over 200 Men-Fenrs That Death
List May BE Large.

Hanna, Wyo., July 1.-Probably the
worst disaster in the history of Wyom-
ing occurred at this place at ten o'clock
Tuesday when terrific explosion of
firedamp in U. P. Mine No. shut off
the means of escape Of 234 men who
were working in the pit. The fire which
Immediately broke out is defying the
efforts of the rescuing party, and there
is slight hope of saving any of the men.
Forty-eight bodies of those working
near the mouth of the mine have been
brought out, all of them horribly
mangled and some still showing bare
evidences of life. Those that can talk
say that the men who were working
further on in the mine are probably
dead. A conservative estimate places
the number of dead at It's. The names
of the unfortunates and those of the
rescued miners cannot now be learned.
Surface men who went to the rescue
Immediately after the explosion oc-
Cured are fighting manfully and are
subduing the flames, which are being
confined to few chambers. Many of
the rescuing party have been burned
or injured. The fire is still raging in
the underworkings. All efforts are
now in the direction of subduing the
fire in one story at time. so that the
rescuing party can reach the en;ombed
miners, if alive, and their bodies, if
dead. Special trains are rushing to
Hanna from Rawlins, Carbon and
other towns, having on board volun-
teers TO fight the fire and dig for the
entombed miners, and doctors and
nurses to care for the injured that are
rescued.
The scenes at the mine are heartrend-
ing, wives and children of men who are
known to have been inside eagerly hang
about the shaft, kept only by the cooler
heads from plunging in. The Union
Pacific railroad, which owns the mines,
has all of it's extra employees working
with might and main to reach the i'm
prisoned men. The flames seem to be
abating, and there is hope of getting
most Of the bodies out soon. So tense
is the excitement that none seem able
to say how the disaster occurred. The
supposition is that some careless miner
allowed his lamp to come in contact
with firelamn

PRESIDENT TAKES ACTION.
Decides to Present Petition of Amer
lean Jews Regarding Recent Out
RACES to Russian Government.

Washington, June 26.-The presi-
dent has decided to transmit to the
Russian government the petition pre-
sented to him by the executive coun-
Gil of the B'Nai Birth regarding treat
ment of Jews in Russia.
This action has been taken after ma
ture consideration. At first it was de-
cided that the petition should not be
presented, because il might be resent
ed by the government of Russia and
lead to a response that will cause a
break in the relations of the two
countries. However. the first conclr-
sion has been reconsidered and by d.
rection of the president the petition
will now go forward. What the result
will be is problematical.
The petition which will be trans
mitted to the Russian government is
the one which the executive council
of the Bnai Birth handed to the
president as tentative document to
be signed by leading citizens of the
United States outside of federal Of
flee holders. 1t is expected that it
will take about two weeks to secure
these signatures, work along that line
already being in progress.
Washington. June %. - The state
ment comes from an authoritative
source that the Russian government
has learned with profound regret Of
the intention of the Washington au-
thorities to forward to ST. Petersburg
a petition from American Jews rela-
tive to ltussia's treatment of her jew
ish subjects. It is yet hoped that the
United States will appreciate the Rus
sian view of the case and will content
itself with the kindly expression of
sympathy which ii already has offered
for the affair at kishineff
