Apple Men of Reno County to
Form an Association.
Meeting win Be Held in Hutch.
insOn, March 18th.
FINE ORCHARDS.
Are Probably 200 Growers En-
titled to Attend.
The Marketing of Apples Has
Become a Big Industry.

Hutchinson, March 4.-The apple
growers OF the county are preparing to
organize. They propose to form an
organization and place their industry
on a more firm and substantial basis.
The industry has now reached a stage
in this county where much can be &C
complished by mutual advice and
counsel and the help that can be given
through an association.
The call for the meeting is signed by
James Dukelow and E. Z. Yaggy, as
president and secretary pro TEN. While
Mr.. Dukelow and Mir. Yaggy are tax
ing the lead in the movement to organ
ize the apple growers, they do not
want the impression to become pre-
valent that the association has been
organized, and so sign themselves
simply as temporary officers. They
urge that every apple grower in the
county attend the meeting, so that
whatever action is taken shall repre-
sent the united views Of the owners of
orchards
Few people realize the gigantic
strides that have been made in apple
growing in this country within the last
few years. Everybody knows of the
larger orchards of the Yaggys, Mr.
Dukelow, Mr.. Underwood, Judge Mar
tin and a half dozen more, but few
people, especially in town, realize that
the entire county is spotted with small
orchards. There are probably 200 or
more apple growers in the county.
They have young orchards. for the
most part, that have just begun to
bear. In the next few years the out
put of apples in the county will be
tremendous. The development of the
cold storage business is another au-
curry of this.
UP to this time every grower or
shipper has acted as an individual.
Now that the number of shippers is
increasing rapidly, the benefits of or
ganization are obvious. The little
grower viii be helped more than the
larger 1t is a distinct step in favor
of the small producer. This fact, no
doubt viii be readily appreciated by

MINE EXPLOSION KILLS TWO.
Two More Badly Hurt in Pittsburg
Accident.

Pittsburg. Kas., March "A terrific
explosion occurred Tuesday afternoon AZ
the Mount Carmel Coal cOmpany's mine
NO s. located about four miles south
west of this city. Joe Baldoni and An
ton Ginardi We're killed and Gus ROes-
sler and Frank Krantz were injured.
The four men We're shot-firers and were
engaged in the mine at the time. Lew
Roll, top boss, and Leon McDaniels. a
carpenter, We're making repairs on the
cage at the top when the explosion oc>
Cured
The former was thrown up into the air
and landed in a carload of slack coal,
where he was found in an unconscious
condition. While McDaniels was only
slightly injured The miners were all
out Of the NINE and the story of the
explosion is to the effect that after the
shot-hrers had been at work a half hour
a Duff of smoke and blaze shot out of
the mouth of the mine into the air 81
feet, Immediately followed by a rum
bling sound as Of distant thunder. The
east side of the mine suffered the most
damage. The overcast and air shaft
were blown down and the fans stopped.
The work Of rescue was started within
ten minutes after the explosion, but
when the rescuers attempted to go down
into the mine they found the cage
was not working. and the first party
climbed down the bunting. on the side
of the shaft.
The first man found was Frank
krantz. and after being taken to the top
it developed that his only injury con
sisted Of the effects of bad air. Gus
Roessler was soon after found, badly
burned about the face and hands. and
will probably die. and Ginardi and Bal
dOni We're dead when found, having
been overcome by foul air.
The mine was badly wrecked and
eight mules were killed in the stables
which are down in the mine.
The mine is a new one and one of the
best producers the company owns, en-
plOying about 200 diggers.
