Unique in the history of Colorado was
the church service held at the Old
Blue school house on West Divide
creek, Sunday, attended by President
Roosevelt and his hunting party and
all the ranchmen and their families
for miles around. The little district
school building was not a tenth part
large enough to accommodate the on
gregation, and as a result the organ
was moved to the platform in front.
On this platform seats were provided
for the president and his party. Rev.

preached the sermon; the choir and the
trustees of the church. The members
of the congregation stood or sat on the
ground or in their ~conveyances, which
were grouped around the building.
The crmon by Rev. Mann was OF
an unusual kind. 1t began with a
story teeming with slang Of the west

Thirteen MINERS KILLED.

The men went into the shaft at mid
night. Foreman William Ray of the
shirt that left the mine at that hour,
states that the mine was in good con.
dition and a gas explosion was hardly
probable. His shift left a shot hang
ing, which the new shift may have
fired. 1t Is suggested, from the force
OF the explosion, which could be heard
FOR miles around, and which tore heavy
timbers aside and piled tons of dirt
into the shaft, that a bad shot had set
on some dynamite which had been
stored conveniently for work in push
ing the entries. The shaft Is $50 feet
deep, and it was 300 feet to the plane
where the men were working.
