NINE Gage DROPS,
SIX MEN KILLED
Unfortunate Men Buried Deep
In Debris at Bottom of
the Shaft

ONE JUMPED, CUT IN TWO
The Awful Accident Took Place at the
Breese Trenton Mining company's
Shaft, Near Carlyle, Ill-ExpIosion
at First Reported Was Later Dis
proved-onIy One Body Recovered.

ST Louis, Dec 22.-The cage in the
Breese Trenton Mining Company's
shaft, ten miles west of Carlyle, Ill.
dropped early today, killing six men
and injuring several. Twenty are re-
ported entombed.
The dead:
Walter Schaffner.
Herman Schleter.
Henry Mittege.
Herman Hoffman.
Frank Gahrer.
August Foppe.
Some kind of an explosion occurred
in the mine, and Immediately the cage
filled with miners, fell, burying all tlle
occupants in the debris at the bottom
of the shaft.
It was later discovered that there
was no explosion. The noise was occa.
stoned by the cage striking the bottom
of the shaft, which caused the report
that an explosion had occurred. Tho
accident took place as a second cage,
full Of day shift miners, was descend-
ing into the mine. The cage containing
the six men had descended 300 feet
down the 40O-foot shaft, when it stuck
momentarily, then wents crashing to the
bottom. August Poppy jumped as the
crash came and was cut squarelA In
two. His body was taken out durings
the morning, and up to noon was the
only body recovered by the gang Of
over a hundred rescuers. The debris is
so tightly wedged into the mouth Of the
stump at the bottom Of the shaft that
it will be some hours before it can be
removed. No sounds or cries have
been heard coming from under the de-
bris, and it is believed the five miners
were instantly killed, and probably
badly crushed.
The sump, or sump hole, in a mine
is the drain hole into which the water
1t is stated the sump Of this mine con-
tanned fifteen feet Of water, and no
doubt is entertained that five Of the
miners were drowned If they had mir-
aculously escaped death in the crash
before being plunged down into the
sump.
The scenes about the mouth Of the
shaft are heartrending. Wives and
children Of the miners congregated and
gave vent to their anguish. Those min
ers who were already in the shaft im-
mediately began the rescue work and
as soon as others could be lowered ev-
cry effort was made. to speedily remove
the debris.

COMING In
BISHOPS
CARRIAGE
Jessie Busley Who Is Nance
0lden Will Arrive
Tomorrow

The coming of Jessie Busley in
'In the Bishops Carriage" to the
Grand opera house Friday evening
has awakened considerable interest
among people of a psychological
bent, owing to the sharp discussion
recently instigated by Miriam Mich
elson's clever book story of criminol-
ogy from a woman's standpoint-the
standpoint of a girl who is criminal
by environment rather than by ma
ture.
The novelty of the theme has
created an unusual amount of COM
ment, both on the part of review
ers who have perused the book and
critics who have viewed the drama
tlzation. Opinion in general has been
of diversified nature, ranging from
the most enthusiastic eneomiums of
praise for the production as a whole
to a rather critical analysis of the
plot and theme. in which exception
has been taken to the choosing of
members of criminal classes for
prominent characters. But where
one critic has condemned the motif
a hundred ministers have come to
the rescue, asserting that the moral
of the story was the redemption OF
a lamb which has strayed from the
secure fold of respectable society.
Mr.. Pollock's task In making a
stage version of the book has been
far from a sinecure. The work of
adapting a popular novel to stage use
brings almost certain disappoint-
ment to a large share OF the books
admirers. who have formed ideals
OF the characters impossible OF real
ization behind the footlights. The
only salvation is to put on a play
strong enough In itself to command
attention and chain interest. Owing
TO the controversy which has arisen
and the many suggestions Mr.. Pol
lock was able to receive from those
interested in the fascinating study
OF crlminology. the characterlzation
of the role of Nance olden. as por-
trayed by Miss Busley, is as nearly
faultless as human ingenuity and
brains can contrive to make It.

party on the way to an entertain

gang of high school seniors waylaid
him and took his trousers. II was
part OF the original plan TO ex-
change a pair OF overalls for the
trousers, but. before the exchange
could be made. the seniors became
frightened and ran away. They be-
came ratified. and took both the over
alls and trousers with them, and left
