MINE HORROR

Special to The Sentinel.
Blue Hill. West. Va, Oct. 4.-Six-
teen men are known to be dead AMI
40 are entombed in coal mine al
Pocohontas, ten miles from this city.
The horror is the result of an eN-
plosion of gas that occurred late las;
night.
just a very few of the men were
at work i'm the mine at the time Of
the explosion were saved.
Scenes of indescribable anguish are
being enacted Mt the mouth of the
mine as the wives and children OF the
unfortunate men are gathered await
tidings from loved ones.
Great forces of workmen are en-
deavoring TO enter the mine. 1t is
hardly probable than any of the en-
tombed men will escape with their
lives.
1t is one of the worst mine horrors
that has occurred in this district in
many years.

DAMAGED BY WIND

The high wind that prevailed in
the valley yesterday afternoon at a
late hour did great damage to many
sections.
The apple crop of the valley seems
TO have suffered heavily. from scores
of orchards come the reports of dam
age to the crops. Many growers re-
port that heavy per cent of their
crops have been shaken from the
trees.
Fruita and the lower valley seems
to have been the worst sufferers. The
wind storm struck Fruita about four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon and il
certainly hade things hum for time.
A large portions of the walls of
the new Fruita National bank build
ling were blown to the ground. The
building was rapidly nearing compile
tion and this will give the contrac-
tors a serious set back.
The orchards throughout the lower
valley We're greatly damaged. A re-
port from Fruita at noon states that
the damage to the apple crop will
amount of several thousand dollars.
Great quantities of the fine fruit
We're shaken from the trees and the
lower valley growers are today try
ing to devise some scheme whereby
they can dispose of the apples with
out a complete loss.
From many orchard sections
around Grand Junction comes the re-
ports of heavy losses of fruit as re-
suit of the winds.
The Sentinel called up one Of the
fruit associations at Paisade this
morning and was informed that very
little damage was done in that sec
tion, the wind having spent it's force
before it reached that end of the val
ley. Still n good deal of fruit was
shaken off.
The trees upon which the fruit was
not heavy are the ones that suffer
ed most. Where a tree is heavily
loaded the apples are inclined to
swing with the wind instead of be-
ing shaken off.
Some of the growers state that as
much as 80 per cent of their apple
crop was shaken from the trees.
The wind did not last long but 1t
blew at fierce rate and its sudden
flight over the valley was a costly
one to the fruit men.

Peking April 4.-The Man-chans affair OF
February last. IN which a Chinese magistrate
met his death as the result Of dispute with
French Catholic missionaries, causing riot and
the killing OF a number Of French and British
missionaries. continues to infame the Chinese.
The native papers in the North OF China this
week print pictures Of the magistrates corpse,
showing his wounds with sensational articles
written IN style which appeals to the lower
classes. eXhorting the people not to forget the
outrage and to prepare TO defend themselves
against foreign brutalities.
The belief that a French priest murdered the
magistrate is general. and probably no other in

against the missionaries. In many places the
Catholic converts and the other Chinese are liv-
ing on the basis of armed neutrality. and If II
were not for the presence OF the troops stationed
