Serious Disaster Occurs In the Holden
Coiliery at Taylor, Pa.

Scranton, Pa, March 5.-A gas ex-
plosion at the Holden colliery OF the
Delaware, I.ackawanna & Western
Railroad company at Taylor resulted
in the death of six men and possibly
fatal injuries to two more. The be-
lief that as many as thirty men were
dead in the mine has been dissipated
by the fact that no one is looking for
missing relatives or friends and also
by a thorough search of the workings.
There were twelve men all told who
received burns or other hurts. and
eight of these we're in such serious
condition that they could not leave
the hospital.
This is the first serious accident
that has occurred at the Holden col
liery since it was opened mp, twenty
