BURIED IMMEDIATELY
Bodies Recovered at Monongah,
". Va, Badly Decomposed.
MORE RAPID PROGRESS MADE
One Hundred and Forty-one Bodies
Have Been Brought to the Surface
and the Work of Rescue Is Being
Pushed as Fast as Possible.

Monongah, w. Va, Dec. 11.-One
hundred and forty-cne bodies have
been brought to the surface from
mines Numbers and s Of the Fair
mont Coal company here. The work
OF rescue is progressing as rapidly as
the necessary precautions for the
safety Of the wOrkmen will permit and
it Is expected the mines will be
cleared Of their CHASTITY burden within
the next twenty-four hours.
A steady rain has fallen here all
day, adding to the discomfort, of the
rescuers and making the work of re.
covering the bodies more difficult. OF
the fifty bodies taken from the mines
in the past twenty-four hours a ma
jority are SO mangled and decomposed
as to render preparations for imme
diate burial imperative and many
were sent direct from the mines tc
the graveyard in compliance with the
order of the county board of health tc
prevent disease.
Work has been started on the right
side Of mine No. 8 and it is believed
that many Of the victims Of the eXplO
sion will be found there. The res
cuers have penetrated about 5000 feet
in this mine and parties are now ex
ploring nearly every section Of mine
No. 6.
Large pumps have arrived a$ the
mines from Pittsburg and were In
stalled to remove water that had got
ten into the mine from the river. The
fires which at first threatened and 70,
time did stop the work Of rescue
have been controlled by cutting of
the supply of air in the burning por
tions of the mines. However, all dan
ger of further explosions is not past
and no attempt will be made to re
open these sections of the mine until
1t is definitely ascertained that the
fire has been extinguished.

MUM AND MATHIESON
COMPOSED AND Confident
Continued from First Page

in his case; that he had read parts
of the evidence and deliberated
much, but that he failed to find a
single circumstance in the defend
ants favor.
In pronouncing sentence on
Mathieson, the judge stated very
briefly that he had no doubt of the
guilt of Mathieson, and considered
the offense with which he had been
charged as being one of the most
cold-blooded murders in the annals
of crime in Minnesota.
Both Mathieson and Mum bear
up we'll, and are remarkably com
posed, most of the time. They have
their blue days. when they are
exceedingly quiet and uncommunica-
tive and evidently realize fully the
seriousness of their situation. Julius
Dahl and Andrew Johnson, who
have acted as death watch since
sentence was pronounced, do much
to cheer the men and fortify their
courage.
Mathieson has become a great
reader of the bible, and he processes
religion in a marked degree. Mum
also reads the bible considerably
Mathieson is convinced that his
attorney will save his neck, and
Mum is certain he will be given a
new trial.

OUTLINES STATES CASE.
James II. HawIey Addresses Jury in
Pettibone Trial.

Boise, Ida, Dec. Thames H. Haw-
ley, chief counsel for the state in the
case of George A. Pettibone, outlined
the case which the prosecution pro-
poses to prove when the trial was re-
sumed. Senator Borah occupied a
seat at the table of the state when
court convened. Immediately after
the reading of the Indictment Mr..
Hawley began his address, first recit-
ing the facts concerning the killing
of Ex-Governor Steunenberg as the re-
suit of the explosion of dynamite
bomb on the night of Dec. 80, 1905,
at the gate of his home at CALDWELL
He dwelt on the law Of Idaho, which
provides that any one who is under
the common law an accessory before
the fact is equally guilty with one
who actually commits the crime. The
law of conspiracy was also explained
to the jury.

Some bad Ones" Over West.

The Crookston papers received
here this morning state that, at the
present term of court for Polk county,
which is being held in Crookston,
criminal indictments have been
returned in six cases which will be
tried at the present term.
Evidently, they have some bad
characters over west; and we would
remind the Crookston Times man
that he take cognizance of these
indictments, as indicating that Bel
trami county is not alone in its
efforts to punish criminals who are
within its gates.
The Times recently deplored the
fact that there was an excess OF
crime in Beltrami county. That
paper had better look after its own
baliwick a little more closely.

trade of the line between Bombay and

that the 'soul Of a people that had

Japanese government, to a certain ex.
tent unfairly, was forcing the Japa-
nese steamship companies to increase
their Bombay sailings and the result
was that the Peninsula and Oriental
company had been entirely left out in
the cold.
