EXPLOSION
ENT0MBS
is MEN

Charleston. w. ", Jan. 1s.-Eighteen
terrific explosion yesterday in one of the
mines OF the Detroit and Kanawha Coal
company. at Detroit. on Paint Creek. this
county. 25 miles from here.
That more men were not near the mine
at the time OF the accident was due TO
the fact that almost all OF the day men
were eating their dinner on the outside.
The explosion occurred at 1890 o'clock.
Had Il been either before or after the
noon hour hundreds OF men would have
been killed
The force OF the explosion was so great
that the hills trembled. Tons OF wreck
age and debris were hurled from the
mouth OF the mine, blocking the entrance
and making the work OF rescue difficult.
News OF the disaster quickly sproad 10
nearby mines, and hundreds of men were
Boon at the scene eager to Join I'm the ef
forts 10 rescue the entombed miners or
recover their bodies.
The ventilating fan was blown out OF
position, and IL was not until late this ar.
ternoon that 1t had be repaired. when the
first rescue party. consisting of 10 men,
entered the mine.
The work OF replacing the fallen brat
tices and removing the debris which OBJ
structed their progress was slow work
The first body reached was that OF c.
+. Neal which was discovered 100 yards
from the entrance The mine superintend-
ent says that the other men were work
ing much further back than Neal and
he has no hope OF reaching them until
later today.
Even II the mon survive the explosion
It's -alHaest-eeFta4a- that they -mill-=fall
victirSs TO the deadly after damp.
The cause OF the explosion is not yet
fully determined, but IL is believed that
a blast ignited the dust which accumu-
lated in the mine.
