THE FRENCH MINE HORROR

Mine Theory Exploded.

'Paris.-The most reliable reports
from Courrieres as to the approximate
number Of casualties in the great mine
disaster there Saturday give the figures
at between 1900 and 1900. It is prob
able that the exact number Of those
who lost their lives will never be
known, owing to the fact that many
bodies probably were destroyed by the
fire which ragged through the mines.
The three shafts are guarded by mil
itary, and the rescue is being continued.
There is little hope, however.
M. DeHaynite, millionaire coal mer-
chant and leading authority in France
on the subject of mine construction, in
an interview on the disaster said:
THE catastrophe marks the collapse
Of the scientific mining theory alleg-
ing that protection is furnished by
Joining the galleries to allow means Of
escape. With the old system of single
or double galleries disasters are limited

Meyer, Haywood, PettibOne and Jack
simplxins Formally Indicted
at Caldwell, Idaho.

Boise, Idaho.-Grand jury indictments
were formally returned, Friday, at
Caldwell, against the alleged murderers
of ex-Gov. Frank Steunenberg.
Meyer, Haywood, Pettibone and Jack
Simpkins are indicted jointly, being
charged with having murdered Frank
Steunenberg. There is in the indict-
ment no mention Of the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners nor any charge Of
conspiracy. So far as the Indictment
shows, each is accused of having. per-
sonally participated In the crime
charged.
The indictment contains three counts,
all Of similar nature. The gist Of the
charges is that the accused men placed
deadly box or bomb, filled with giant
powder, caps, sulphuric acid and other
explosives at the gate in front Of Frank
Steunenberg's residence with the inten-
tion of killing him. One count charges
the actual numbering Of steunenberg by
causing the bomb to explode as Steun-
enberg was entering his yard.
The names Of 20 witnesses, including
Harry Orchard, who has confessed 10
hds part in the crime, are indorsed on
the indictment.

MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE
VERDICT AGAINST VAUGHAN,
RYAN AND RAYMOND.
The Three Missouri Convicts Who
Committed Murder In an Attempt
to Escape To Hang.

Jefferson City, Mo.-The three con-
victs Vaughan, Ryan and Raymond
were declared guilty Of murder in the
first degree by jury in the Cole coun-
ty circuit court, which returned its
verdict Thursday. Sentence of death
will be passed on all by Judge Martin.
All we're convicted OF the murder Of
John Clay, penitentiary guard, killed in
the dash which they and Convict Blake
made from the prison in November
last.
The men we're taken to the sheriff's
Office shortly before nine o'clock, and
promptly at that hour were taken into
the courtroom. In anticipation Of the
verdict, they were guarded by seven
men. AS they entered the courtroom a
guard held the arm of each convict.
Other guards were before and behind
each man.
The prisoners were not shackled OF
handcuffed. They were seated in a row
with guards between and one at each
end of the row.
The men stood up as the clerk read
the verdict. The expression of their
faces did not change as the clerk read
the words which meant death for them
all. When the verdict was read they
sat down without saying a word OIL
looking to the right or the left.
There was a slight mistake in thu
wording of the verdict, and the jury re-
tired to correct It, While this was be
ing done the men remained in the
courtroom, sitting between the sever
| guards.
The three men were sentenced to b,
hanged April 20, but an appeal taker
to the supreme court will insure them {
respite till next fall at least.
