or end pieces Of them. My God, man
you have but faint conception Of the
awful force Of this explosion. 1t tore
men to pieces. 1t did not leave enough
of some OF them to tell who they were.''
Again and again efforts were made tc
reach the living men Of the rescue par.
ty at the bottom of the shaft, but the
wooden sides Of the hoist swollen by
the water, stuck to the iron guide slide.
and then came hours Of maneuvering
to reach the bottom. The men below
had no means of warmth, and many OF
them were standing in deep water Ev.
cry effort was made to lower the cage,
and finally it was loosened and got
within twelve feet of the bottom. A
timber blown across the way by the
explosion was in the path. The men
were within easy reach of a rope, but
their fingers, numbed and almost
frozen by the cold, were unable to
grasp the offered help.
1t was o'clock when the first three
men of the party who went down at 8
o'clock were brought to the surface
Not one of them was able to walk, so
numb were they from cold, and then
they told of the experience in the mine
below.
Henry Beckett was one of the first
men out of the cage. He WAS carried
to the hoiler house and after twenty
minutes of warmth managed to
Straighten himself and saw.
ut was a frightful experience. We
were too cold to work There is APP
parently none to rescue. We had Il
hard time to find many Of the dead
shred of clothing here and another
there jacket, pair of overalls, but
few bodies.
when we left the bottom of the
shaft there We're twelve bodies lying
there ready to be brought up There
are many others there, and the bodies
of many will never be found"
Many theories as to the cause of the
explosion are being advanced One Is
that the recent high water had some
thing to do with It, Mining experts do
not regard this as probable Men who
know the Harwick mine say that gas in
dangerous quantity has been in it ever
since 1t was opened, and this fact was
recognized by the men in charge of it.
Hence they say that the cause of the
explosion is that probably a careless
miner exposed naked flame to the
gas

Amusements
Something Now.

'"The Sambo Girl with Miss
Eva Tanguay in the title role, pre-
sented at the Greeley opera house
Saturday night, is really something
new in musical comedy, and deserved
the fair patronage, and more, that IT
received. Miss Tanguay is just as
she was advertised, all vivacity, and
she sparkled and danced throughout
the performance to the delight of
her audience. There is also good
chorus with the star, which, contrary
to the general rule, can sing. The
Sambo Girl can come again and she
will receive an even better greeting
than she did this time.

MAKE VICTORY COMPLETE.

There are several hundred republi-
can voters working with the dem
ocrats of Weld county this fall to
help defeat Churchillism and corrup-
tion in local politics. 1t is only by
the aid of these republicans who place
purity above party that the demo-
Gratis can hope to succeed this fall.
Let every democrat do his duty then,
and vote to make the victory COM
plete. Don't vote for single man
on the republican ticket because he
is good fellow" Remember,
they are all Churchill's lieutenants,
and vote for one of them is part
of a vote in favor of Churchillism.
No matter what you might do at
other times, this time vote the local
democratic ticket straight through
from top to bottom.
The Greeley tribune., 1904-10-26

the time tor Roosevelt, the whole
editorial might be looked on as dem
ocratic. AS it is, we must incline
to the belief that it is written fol
principle and not for party. 1t
follows:
| Choose the best man to support,
whatever his party, is our doctrine,
but where the men are equal, vote in
the present circumstance to send the
democrat to congress. A democratic
house and narrow republican vic
tory for the presidency would be a
good tonic for the administration
and the senate. In every state local
conditions should be considered be-
fore national ones. To give few
illustrations: In New York we shall
vote, as a lesser evil, for Herrick.
In Rhode Island we should heartily
support the present democratic gov
ernor, whose chances for reelection
seem slight. In New Jersey the
democrats deserve to win on their
platform. In Delaware the power
of Addicks was built upon his pecun-
iary ability to buy the state, and a
loss of the state would injure him.
In state like Pennsylvania, where
one party is hopelessly dominant and
hopelessly corrupt, we should vote
against it by way of protest. In
Colorado we should choose any al
tentative to Peabody, unless it were
desperately bad one. La Follette's
defeat would be misfortune to Wis
consin, for it would show the national
machine slaughtering a man who
stands for righteous changes which
the people want. In Illinois prac
tical reformer is running against an
ordinary second-rate machine demo-
crat. In Missouri the state election
is more important than the national
election itself. We would rather see
Parker president than see Folk de-
feated, fo1 Folk is the most unmis-
taxable center of correct political
principle in the field anywhere to-
day

SCRATCH If you WANT TO

Don't be afraid to scratch your
ticket. A careful reading of the
instructions that are tackled up in
every booth is all that is necessary
to enable you to vote right. If in
doubt, a clerk will show you. If
you don't want to vote a straight
ticket either way, don't do it just
for fear that you will lose your vote
if you scratch. Better vote as you
wish and take chances. Only better
read your instructions carefully. no
matter how familiar you may be with
the method of voting.

WHAT WOULD He DOT
Editor of The Tribune:

Editor of The Tribune:
Although l have been lifelong
republican, l can not help approving
of your able fight against the election
of II. f. Churchill as state senator
from Weld county. There are good
reasons why every republican should
vote against him, and the best of
these, perhaps, is the very reason
that he uses as an argument for his
election, viz. The choice of United
States senator. As firm believer in
republican principles, l favor the
election of republican senator to
succeed Tom Patterson, but can we
trust II. f. Churchill to help give
us republican for that office? l
happen to know that Mr.. Churchill
was more to blame for the election
of Henry NJ. Teller to the senate two
years ago this winter than was Sem
ator Clayton. l was present good
share of the time in the legislature
that elected Teller, and myself with
many other republicans there urged
II. E. Churchill to use his influence
with the representatives from this
county and other counties with whom
he might have some force, that they
go into caucus and agree upon some
good republican to put up against
Teller. We were all laughed to
scorn by Churchill. who said he
knew what he was doing. Perhaps
he knew what he was doing (for
ChurchilD, but to us republicans it
looked as though we were sold out.
Now, should Senator Clayton be
reelected we know that he would

WHY shAFRorh Is THE MAN.
(From the Denver Post.)

From the Denver Post.
The Posts reasons for asking you
to vote for John F. Shafroth as con-
gresham at large and not vote for
his opponent, Franklin f. Brooks,
are the simplest and plainest pos
sible. Mr.. Brooks belongs to law
firm and he has been associated, in
politics, with men whose political
standard is one of money. The
auspices of his present nomination
were not essentially republican in
principle, and, moreover, the ques-
tion of rule, in the hearts of his in
tuential friends, is not a Colorado
affair, that is, for the people, but it
is personal-and personal financially.
In short, the power behind Mr..
Brooks is the corporation power
which regards Colorado's government
dS Il SONeIllllleIll VI lIle Corporations.
by the corporations, for the corpora
tions. And they have extended this
thing to Colorado's representatives at
Washington. 1t happens, otherwise,
that Mr.. Brooks is nonentity of so
little personal weight that it seems
cruel to aim a blow at a man so
small. However, the people of
Colorado have a right to expect the
political parties to nominate men
for Washington WHO STAND FOR
SOMETHING IN THEMSELVES.
Shafroth stands for something that
appeals, namely, he is an HONEST
MAN. His election means scme-
thing. He will be respected at
Washington. Everybody will know
that the PEOPLE of Colorado sent
him to Congress.
That is a mighty good reason, as
the Post sees it.
