Murphysboro, H., May l2.-Slx dead
and about 80 burned, many very Sc
verely, are the known results Of al
explosion OF powder in shaft No. 7 o.,
the Big Muddy Coal & Iron Co mine al
Herrin, Ill.,
About 1925 men are employed in the
mine, and they had Just begun work
A car containing so kegs Of powder ex.

At noon 50 wounded men and the
following dead had been removed from

Two brothers named Williams,
The mine was badly wrecked, mnk-
ing the rescue work difficult
Luckily, the majority Of the miners
were working in other parts Of the
shaft when the explosion occurred and
were uniDured, thus being able to az
sist with the rescue work.
1t Is not known how many were
working In the vicinity OF the explo-
sion, and 1t Is believed that several
are dead and covered with wreckage
It is also feared that some Of the
wounded may be shut of from the
rescucrs, and that they may die before

COssACk ATTACK At ANU.
The japanese Garrison Succeeded In
Driving on the Enemy.

Toxic, May Ill p. m.-Details OF
the attack by Russian Cossacks at
Anju, Korea Tuesday morning, have
been received here,
The Russian cavalry numbered 200
men, and their attack was spirited. The
Japanese garrison resisted stoutly, and
succeeded in driving off the enemy,
Later, japanese reinforcements arrived
from Ping Yang.
Indications point to the presence OF
a Russian force at Yong Byong, be-
tween Anju aad Unsan, but it proba-
bly, is small.
1t is evident that these Russian cav
alrymen were sent south for the pur-
pose of harassing the japanese fianks
and lines Of communication.
The japanese report of the fighting
at Angu does not give any losses.

Julius Nystrom Bound Over to District

A peculiar law suit was tried at For.
man, in the State of North Dakota.
against Julius Nystrom. The latter
was charged with maliciously killing
a domestic animal with pitchfork.
The examination was before Justice
Forman, who bound Nystrom over to
the district court, and ordered bail to
be furnished for $500. Bail was fur
nished and the defendant allowed to
return home. Justice Forman made
his decision to bind the defendant over
to the district court on the ground
that the statutes provide one years
imprisonment or fine of $500, or
both, for misdemeanors of this kind,
which took the case out of his juris-
diction The friends of Nystronl, how
ever, claim that he did not intention
ally kill the domestic animal, which
was horse. and if this can be proven,
the case in the district court will prove
of short duration.

Anders Anderson's Wife Had Married
Again.

Anders Anderson's Wife Had Married
Again.
A man who deserted his family in
Sweden sixteen years ago and who has
contributed nothing to their support
during that time has been heard from
in Alaska, and if reports are true, has
amassed fortune F%''
The news has resulted in the films

which the man in Alaska is the'defend.
ant. Mrs. Marie Anderson asks for a
decree of divorce from Anders Andel.
son. The complaint sets forth the sim
pie charge of desertion, but back Of
this is an interesting story.
The couple were married in Sweden
twenty-four years ago and have three
children. The father left Sweden in
1888 to make himself and little fam
lily home in the new country. News
of his landing was duly received, but
nothing further, and, years followed
years without any information.
Then came the report of his death in
Alaska. whittier he had gone with the
first influx of gold hunters. The re-
port was not confirmed by anything
official, but came to the little family
from various sources, and was in due
time accepted as true. 1t was a few
years after this that Mrs Anderson
was again married. and the family
came to America, locating in Crane
Forks.
The second marriage was a happy
one until short time ago. when let
ter came from Anderson, who is now
in Alaska, and who, according to his
own report, has been successful in 10.
eating valuable mining claims.
Anderson's failure to provide in any
measure for the support of his family
during the sixteen years of his alb
sence will be sufficient grounds for the
granting Of a divorce, and it is not ex.
pected that he will make any effort to
combat the suit.
