CHECK FOR FIFTY DOLLARS,
Fire Department Gets Another Re-
membrance for Good Work.

The Pfeifer-Bclmont Dry Goods
Company this morning h presented
Chief Goschee with a check for fifty
dollars for the heroic work done by
the department in helping save
their property on the morning of the
big fire. The boys say that the
money is welcome, but that they ap.
preciate more the sentiment of good
will that is thus expressed to them
for the dangers encountered in doing
their duty. The Pfeifer-B Belmont
Company sustained great loss but
feel most grateful to the fire laddies
for preventing the complete destruc'
ton of their store. Such voluntary
remembrances are tokens of good
will that will encourage the boys in
their dangerous work when the fire

MINERS PERISH
IN AN EXPLOSION
SERIOUS DISASTER IN SHAFT AT
wILcoE, w. VA.
LOSS OF LIFE VERY HEAVY
Fifteen Bodies Have Been Recovered
and It Is Thought Eight Others
Are Dead-Rescuers
at Work.

Bluefield, w. Va, Feb. 27.-As a re-
suit of an explosion in shaft No. 1 OF
the United States Coal & Coke COM
pany at Wilcoe on Sunday % miners
are supposed to have lost their lives,
and it is possible that the number will
exceed this. Up to eight p. m, 10
dead bodies had been taken from the
shaft. A large rescuing party is in
the mines. It. is barely possible, but
not likely, that some of the remaining
entombed miners will be rescued alive.
The explosion was of terrific force and
shattered glass windows mile distant.
Immediately after the shock great
numbers of miners, who were off duty,
1t being Sunday, rushed to the shaft,
to find great clouds of smoke and dust
gushing from it's mouth. Mothers,
children and other relatives soon were
weeping and pleading for the rescue
of those dear to them entombed in the
mine. The officials of the mines. in
cluding General Manager Refs, were
soon on the ground and the work of
rescuing miners is now being directed
by Mr.. Refs. The dead miners thus
far recovered are all Italians and Hun
garians and have not as yet been iden-
titled. The company usually work in
this shaft about IS miners, but it be.
ing Sunday the men were not all in
and the small loss of lives can be at
tributed only to this fact. The United
States Coal & Coke company, with
principal offices in Pittsburg, Pa, is a
part Of the United States Steel corpor,
alton. The cause of the explosion has
not yet been determined and since il
is hardly probable any of those in the
mine will be recovered alive the cause
OF the explosion may never be known

THE JURY DISAGREED
DAMAGE CASE OF YOUNG VS.,
CITY OF oSkALooSA is
STILL UNSETTLED.

The city is not yet free of the
Young damage suit. The jury disa'
greed. The jury stood eight to three

no chance of a verdict, Judge Clem
ents discharged them at o'clock
Sunday evening, and a new trial OF
the case will come. Eleven jurors
heard the case, w. P. Mcdowell OF
Fremont being excused because OF
sickness.
The case of Inez Young against the
city of Oskaloosa was for the sum OF
ten thousand dollars, a suit brought
for personal injury. The plaintiff
slipped upon an icy or snow-covered
walk in the public park, fell, and sus
tanned injuries from which she claims
she will be permanently crippled. In
a former effort to have the case
heard the matter was taken from
the jury On account of irregularity
in procedure before trial. A new
suit was commenced, however, with
the above result. c. C. Orvis, attor
uey for the city, handled the defense
in a splendid way. John o. Malcolm
was attorney for the plaintiff.
The case attracted considerable at
tention, as its settlement involve;
some nice points which all cities
would like to have settled for al
time. Mr.. Malcolm shows up these
points in his trial of his side of the
case with nicely that evidently re
suited in hung jury. The case vii
have its termination in the supreme
court, no matter what may be the
ruling of the lower court at the mex
