WAS KILLED IN
MINE EXPLOSION

S. r. Evans of the New Warren has
received word that his brother, Harry
L., was killed in the mine explosion
at Monongah, w. Va, Friday. He was
fire boss, 80 years of age, and leaves a
wife and three children. From $50 $500
men were either killed or injured. The
cause of the explosion is said to have
beed red damp. The company gave $500
to each of the families where the father
was killed. The mine has several mil
es of underground work where the coal
is taken out. E. r. Evans of Baraboo
had charge in the same mine a few
years ago. 1t was shut down it 1913 on
account of gas and a new place opened
several years afterwards. He says that
his brother, Harry had suffered many
accidents, and had been offered safer
work by the company, but he preferr-
ed the more dangerous task and remain
ed at it.
This was probably the most disast-
trously fatal mine explosion which
ever happened in the world.

erturned the lamp which she had set
down. The surrounding hay immedi-
ately caught and no efforts could SUBJ
due the flames. Mr.. Hall was up town
at the time. An alarm was finally put
in at box 2S.
The family has been preparing to
move west, in fact most of the goods
have been shipped. The barn was a
small one So that the loss is not esti-
mated to be very great. Some coal was
shoveled out of the ruins this morning.
The house and lot was formerly
owned by Mrs. Foskett, who has
transferred the property to her son-in-
law. She and the the rest of family will
accompany Mr.. and Mrs. Hall to their

Opinion From EIrOy.

A. S. Hawley was ordered commit
ted to the state hospital at Oshkosh
by a jury at Baraboo. On October
Is he almost killed his wife and was
charged with attempt to murder her.
Baraboo people thinks that the
bloody outrage was simply the act of
a husband angered beyond control
because perhaps the wife had refused
him money with which to buy more
rum, and wonders how soon the fell
low may be out again to commit an
other crime.-Elroy Tribune.

exchange heifers. After the trade was
made trouble commenced. The ami
