SIX MINERS KILLED.
Four Others Are lDju in an Ex'
plosiOn in an Indiana Mine.

Six miners dead and four injured, two
probably fatally, is the result Of an ex-
plosion in Nle mine of the Princeton
Coal and Mining Company at Princeton,
Ind, Wednesday afternoon.
OF the dead all but one were dead
when found in the mine. Their bodies
were rescued two hours after the eXplo-
ability of the rescuers to combat the
afterdamp.
The five injured were brought to the
surface thirty minutes after the eXplo-
sion. The cause of the disaster is not
known save that it resulted from a pow
der explosion.
The miners were making their blasts
previous to leaving the mine and the
greater part of the miners had ascend
ed. The news reached the city about 4
o'clock and within short time fifty rel
atives Of the miners surrounded the
mouth Of the shaft and anXiously await
ed each ascension Of the cage. The
miners worked heroically and number
of them were overcome by the foul air
which filled the mine
The explosion wrecked portion Of
the mine and the supporting timbers
were hurled in every direction. The sup
ports gone, the slate roof gave way i'll
many places and the rescuers were in
constant danger from this source. The
first intimation that an explosion had oc-
CURED was the Taxation Of the cage rope,
which was ascending. The engineer
noted a relaxing Of the hosting rope, in
dicating a force from below.
This is the second disaster to this
mine, operated and owned by the Prince
ton Coal and Mining Company. Nine
years ago an explosion in the mine killed
nine. The mine was then the property
of the Maule Coal Company.
