Be Dead.

The Explosion Occurs in the Letter

lBy the Associated Press }


Benton, Ills, April 3.-Some fifty
miners We're entombed today in Joseph
Letters mine at Ziegler by a terrific
explosion of gas, and it is probable
that thirty or more of the buried men
are dead. Thus far 15 bodies have
been recovered, and more than 80 are
said to be dead.
to the fact that the Letter mines are
not worked on Sunday, thus allowing
gas to accumulate in the lowest work
ings.
When between thirty-five and forty
miners had descended into the mine
today to resume work, horrible eX-
plosion blew the mouth of the mine
high into the air. One of the steel
cages was blown to the surface from
the bottom of a, 500 foot shaft. The
shock of the explosion was felt at Ben
ton, twelve miles northeast of Ziegler.
A teamster driving along road half a
mile from the mine, was covered with
falling cinders and debris covered the
floor of his wagon an inch deep. One
miner was killed and four were Sc
Verely injured at the mouth of the
shaft at which the explosion occurred.
The work of rescue was begun at
once by miners, who We're arriving
when the explosion took place. But
the main shaft was demolished so
that rescue work has to be carried on
through the air shaft.
A Few Bodies Found.
This has hindered the work of aid
ing the entombed men to such an ex-
tent that when darkness fell tonight
only three bodies and one injured mar
had been brought to the surface
These bodies were found forty feet
from the bottom of the air shaft anC
this for many hours was as far as the
receivers were able to penetrate the
shaft.
A committee of union miners from
Duquoin and other neighboring min
ing towns, headed by District Presi-
dent Morris, hastened to Ziegter soor
after the explosion occurred and offer
ed their aid
The bodies of the dead are SO black
ened that they cannot at once be iden-
titled Rolla Campbell is the injured
miner brought out of the shaft, and il
is said that he cannot live. Campbell
is conscious, but he is unable to give
any explanation of the accident
C. E. Childress. a striking Zieglel
miner, last October predicted in Z
printed article that an explosion was
likely to occur on account of what he
termed improper ventilation of the
shafts.
There was much excitement among
miners when the accident became
known, because there had been q
strike of long duration, and many con-
ficts had occurred between strikers
and non-union miners.
An all-day investigation tends tC
show that the catastrophe was due tC
the accidental explosion of accumu-
lated gas.

To one old soldier with a button in
