EXPLOSION IN ENGLISH MINE
Twenty-Five Men Killed and Two
Hundred Temporarily EntOmbed
in CoIIiery.

DURHAM, England, Oct. 15.-As result
of an explosion in the Wingate colliery near
here at about midnight last night. twenty
five miners were killed and 200 are tenn
porarily entombed. 1t Is fortunate that
only a small portion of the thousand men
employed In the mine were down when the
explosion took place. The cause is sup
posed to have been fire damp. The explo-
sion was one of terrific force and in Win
gate town many windows were broken
Soon after the news of the disaster became
known crowds of half-clad people were
rushing toward the mine and there were
heartrendng scenes. The first report rep
resented the disaster to be worse than
subsequently was found to be the case.
BY daylight signals had been exchanged
with the bottom seam, where a majority Of
the men were entofnbeds to the effect that
they were safe, and with this message
came a sense OF great relief As the morn
ing advanced the bodies of dead men were
slowly brought up. The first dead TO ap-
pear were mostly old men who had been
employed as shifters and stone men. Eighty
men were brought out alive Many of these,
however. were I'm critical condition, being
unconscious. Later supplies of coffee and
SANDWICHES were passed in to those still en-
tombed. At a late hour tonight. TO the joy
OF their relatives, four men were brought
up from the lower seam, where the deaths
had occurred These men had been reck-
oned among the dead. Although they were
much exhausted. they probably will re-
cover.
The shaft is still blocked with wreckage,
but the ventilation is good and it is hoped
that all the entombed men will be rescued
during the night.

CROW & MURRAY STABLE IN
60 the Omaha show This
Fall.

Good news cau to the Horse show head
quarters last nifht in the shape of the
entries Of the horses OF Crow q Murray,
the noted horsemen of Toronto. Can,
which assures Omaha OF more entries and
better entries than the Kansas City horse
show, which is being held this week.
Murray is well remembered in Omaha. as
he is the life Of the arena while he is show
ing his horses and always engages in any
fun going on. Last year in the potato
race II was Murray who rode his pony
through the judges stand He has pairs
and fours and hunters and jumpers and
tandems and hunting tandems. in fact. has
entries for almost every class. Murray's
chief pride is his famous horse "Presi-
dent" which as a green horse last year
won honors at the Omaha show.
The ticket sale will open Wednesday at
the Auditorium.
The Horse show arena is completed and
horses were worked out Saturday morning.
Although the show does not begin until
Monday, w. A. Austin, superintendent of
the arena, has everything in readiness a
week ahead 50 the local owners might
have an opportunity to work out their
horses and have them become accustomed
to the circular ring.
The last day for receiving entries from
abroad has passed and the show this year
has list of entries which is surprising
and which reflects great credit to Omaha
and to the directors of the Horse show as
sociation. Kansas City, with the prestige
OF several more yek RS of experience at the
Horse show businets than Omaha, will not
have as many entUes as the Omaha show.
Many of the fller show windows of
the city already hre decorated for the
Horse show in the red and white and the
larger windows of the department stores
where the strife for first honors will be
keen, are darkened and show signs OF
large forces of men working trying for
the coveted prizes.
Metz Bros. have made arrangements to
enter their large four-horse team in COM
petition with the prize team of Swift and
Company which will be at the show. This
will make three entries in the heavy class
as Storz will also show four and six.
