MEET
AWFULDEATH

the big drums of the engine began 70
unroll and the two engineers disap-
peared. Still there was no sound
from the depths below except the
occasional shout from h men in
the bucket TO shop while they lasted
the air.
Then the cage reached the bottom.
There was a silence of fully forty
minutes and then came the summons
to haul up slowly. When the cage
reached the top Rayburn was there
and with him was Adolph Gunia. still
alive but gasping for breath and evil
IDENTIFY seriously injured.
Again the cage went down into the
darkness and this time 1t carried
with it E. Taylor, an assistant of
Seiwyn Taylor and also Robert North
and ]. Mccain who had made the
first attempt. There was a call of
volunteers to aid in the work or res
cue and a call for hammers, nails
and bratice cloths to enable the res
cuers to brace up the workings. so
that they could grope their way back
to where the men were at work when
the crash came.

The little village Of Hardwick that
surrounds the mining works two

stricken all day. The wives and reia-
tives of the entombed have crowded
about the entrance to the pit, be-
seeching for news for loved ones be-
low, but only to meet with the same
sad answer:
I'VE do not know yet, if we find
him we will send him home"
The little school house las already
been prepared as a morgue and hos
pital. The benches and seats have
all been removed and eight girls from
the highest class at the school nave
been impressed as nurses.
Doctors have been summoned from
surrounding towns of Springdale and
Denny and also from Pittsburg, but
nothing can be done until further de-
tails come from the mine.
Statement by the Manager.
Mr.. Sheetze, the manager OF the
mine said tonight to a representative
of the Associated Press:
1.-The explosion this morning was
terrific. Both cages were blown from
the shaft, one of them a distance OF
over 200 feet. Three men at work
on the tipple were blown to the
ground and one Of them is already
dead. The other two are badly hurt.
but 1 am told they are resting easily
and may ecover.
There are at least $50 men III the
mine and 1 am afraid that that there
are q number more though there are
several men on the pay roll who did
not report this morning.
