Omaha, Neb., July Reports were re-
ceived at Union Pacific headquarters this
morning from Hanna, Wyo., Of the process
of the rescue party in the Hanna mines up
to 4 o'clock this morning. They stated
that the rescuers had penetrated
distance into the mine, but had recovered
no more bodies
The difficulty Of entering the mine was
Increased by smoke and gas, and 1T is now
thought that the matter Of getting air
into the mine is the only hope Of rescuing
any Of the entombed men alive.
An order was received in Omaha for
$50 collins, which are being shipped to
Hanna. It was stated, however, that this
large number of caskets was being
shipped to be used in case Of necessity,
and that no demand has yet arisen for
30 large an ordes. a- r..E

this caused hopes to arise in the breasts
of the tired workers and the anxious
women and children gathered about the
shaft. 1t is faint hope, however, for ex-
perienced mine bosses and miners say
that when the imprisoned men are
reached all will be found dead.
Crazed by the Explosion.
Some Of the miners who escaped said
they saw twenty dead bodies in Entry No.
IT, They reported that many of the men
were crazed by the explosion and ran
hither and thither IN the mine. Many of
these could have escaped, but they laid
down and buried their faces in their hands
and gave up the fight.
Of the 234 dead about 175 were married
and leave large families About 100 were
Finlanders, so were colored and the re-
mainder were Americans.
Late last night twenty eight bodies, all
horribly mangled, were brought to the
surface.
Fought Their Rescuers.
Members of the rescuing parties tell of
pitiful scenes about the seventeenth level.
Some of the survivors were driven insane
and fought like fiends against the res
cuers Dazed. listless survivors were
found sitting on cars or lying on the floor,
careless Of whether they lived or died.
Near the seventeenth level twenty
bodies were found strewn over a pile of
debris which the men had striven to sur
mount before overcome by the deadly
fumes. Some We're scared and blackened
by flames, but all had died crawling to-
ward fresh air. The eleven resouers who
had gone this far, were too weak to bring
out a body.
Scenes on the Surface.
For hours the scene at the mouth of the
| level was heart-moving. With clothes
and hair awry, mothers, wives, sweet
! hearts and children huddled together,
weeping and wringing their hands. Many
| sat on shattered timbers blown from the
mines mouth, insensible to their sur
roundings. The most frantic pushed to
the edge of the gap and tried to force a
| way into the slope.
May Take Month.
An expert who went almost to the
| seventeenth level, says the mine cannot
possibly be cleared for month. It is
feared that men in the lower levels were
torn to pieces by the explosion, which
/ hurled great tiEnbers high over the town
and LOO feet beyond the mouth OF the
/ slope.
Among the dead is Alfred Happgood
who turned the first, shovel of dirt in
starting the slope. The fire bosses, who
had reported all safe before working time
