FIFTY CoAins Passed Through
BIuefeld To-Day Enroute To
Scene of Recent Mine Disaster

BLUEFIELD, W. Va, Oct. 5.-All
night long, resculng parties searched
for the dead miners in the west mine
of the Pocahontas Company, and up
to early this morning, twenty burned
and mutilated bodies had been brought
to the surface. The utmost secrecy
Is being maintained by the company
and the names or correct number Of
the total dead are impossible to OBJ
tain. The number of dead is stia esh'
mated at from seventy-fve to one
hundred.
Many bodies were literally torn to
shreds, making it impossible to re-
move them from the mine. Almost a
dozen small boys, telephone boys, were
Killed instantly. Fifty coffins passed
through Bluefeld this morning en-
route to the Pocahontas mine. Al
most every mine in the Flat Top field
has shut down. Thousands are gath
ering at the scene of the explosion
which still is mystery as to its cause

Fine Music
WAS FURNISHED BY THE IVAN
clcH ORCHESTRA AT sREuN-
ION LAST NIGHT.

The music furnished by the Ivan
cich's orchestra last evening for the
old soldiers was exceptionally good.
IT is seldom that such music is heard
in Fairmont. The programme was
composed OF the latest publications
of high grade music and the manner
it was rendered was simply astonish-
ing. The Ivancch orchestra has been
organized only few days ago, but
from the music as 1t was rendered
the most severe critic could detect
no flaw tending to disclose that fact.
This organization is composed of the
best musicians OF Fairmont and vi
cinity. Among them are no less than
three band leaders and the remainder,
with the exception of the piano play.

a steep embankment. AS the swing

old and worn, gave way, letting the
occupant fall a long distance. DR.. c.

FIRST JURY TRIAL
FOR TERM BE-
GAN YESTERDAY
Able Attorneys
In the Case


The first jury trial at this term OF
court was begun yesterday afternoon.
The style Of the suit is the State Of
West Virginia against ], c, Darnall,
felony. Darnall was indicted last
June for the alleged forging of a re-
ceipt.
According to statements made, Oar
nall was Id the employ Of Duncan Sin
clair to option some timber land in
PendIeton county and in settling up
his accounts he is charged with rails
ing the amounts paid to W. A. Sum-
merfeld from ss2 to s295.55.
A motion to quash the Indictment
was overr4led and the case went to
trial before the following jury:
in. Huey, George W. Martin, chas.
Miller, zaioc Layman, James Tucker,
Marcus Meredith, ]. W. Knight, D. A.
Carpenter, "A. L. Beatty, Jacob J. Lee,
Jerome Summers, George W, crowse.
The state is represented by Prose
cutting Attorney Lowe, John j. Corn
well and Tusca Morris. W. S. Mere
dith and Q. N. Arnett represent the
defendant.
The paper that is said to be forged
is a receipt which was given parRal!
by W. A. summerheld, who was then
agent of the Dry Fork Railroad Com
pany. This receipt covered Darnall's
expenses for freight, expressage and
horse hire.
W. A. summerfeld was the first
witness for the State. He stated that
on the 18th day Of April he gave Oar
nall receipt for Ss2. A receipt was
produced and handed to the witness
which he said bore his signature. He
said that the receipt had been chang
ed. Here a lively tilt began between
Attorney Gornwell and Meredith as
to what constituted forgery and the
variance of the Indictment with the
alleged receipt. The receipt read for
horse hire, freight AMI expressage to
April 10, $92, while the Indictment
read for horse hire, freight and expires
sage April IS, 90. There was lively
discussion as to the appearance of the
word to in one particular and its ON
fssion in the other. Another point
brought out by W. S. Meredith was
that to constitute a fraud the paper
would have to be such as would pass
as genuine to an ordinary person. That
the legal efficacy must be established
and that this was impossible in this
case since the paper was dated May
4 and purporting to be receipt fol-
money paid on the 10th of May. This
Attorney Meredith said would moi
pass an ordinary man without his de
tecting something wrong.
Attorney Cornwell said that 1t wai
not a question as to deftness or skill
of the forger that all that was neces
sary was to describe an instrument
so that It could be identified.
After this discussion summerfel'
gave further testimony. He stated tC
the jury that in the receipt there wert
interlineations that were not on tht
receipt when he signed it and that thu
date had been changed from Apri
18th to May 4th.
summerfeld was subject to a no
cross examination by Attorney Mere
dilh in which 1t developed that the re
ceIpt was not written by summerfeld
but by DarnaIl, summerHeld signing
