MINE cAvE-IN WRECKS TOWN.

1reat. Cracks Extend Throughout
Warrior Run and Houses Topple.
The town of Warrior Run, near Wilkes
barre, Pa, was badly damaged by cave
in in the Warrior Run mine. One man
and young woman were killed and three
houses burned. There is great fear that
the cavein may extend and do further
damage. A large portion of the colliery is
affected. The workings are so near the
surface that in numerous places large
cracks appeared. These cut UP the streets
of the town, shattered the foundations OF
houses, broke water mains and caused
considerable damage. A volume of gas
was released in the mine by the cavein.
John Shoemaker was killed by the ex-
plosion which came when it was ignited
by his lamp. On the surface Elizabeth
Williams went into her cellar to see what
damage was done. Gas from the mine
filed the cellar and she was killed by the
explosion. Her house was burned down
and two other houses were badly damaged
by the fire.

A tired-looking woman came out of
the house and stood in the little patch
of sunshine on the north porch. She
gazed longingly down the dust-white,
country road, and the last forlorn hope
died out her wan eyes as she returned
to her kitchen.

remembered that he was her man.
and that it was very lonely in this
quiet, orderly house, which, as is
usual at such occasions, had been
filed to overlooking in the interim OF
demise and funeral, but was now de-
serted.
She wished again and again that
her son, 10, would come. She had
not known just where to reach him.
One seldom did know where to reach
10. He had a comet-like way of ap-
pearing and disappearing. He had
been a wanderer since the days OF
schoolboy truancy, and he had served
in many capacities-as trainboy, cir
Gus rider, soldier, tramp and stage
driver. In fact, everywhere but on his
fathers farm. She had not known
where to send word to Beth, either.
Beth, the little, orphaned child of
distant cousin, had grown to young
womanhood on the farm, and then had
gone to a distant city to teach. She
was away on a vacation, now, and had
no settled address. With these two
absent, Mrs. Lenks was indeed alone.
Suddenly there hurried into the
kitchen a tall, strong -shouldered man.
