Gas EXPLOSION IN
MINE KILLS ELEVEN
BODIES OF VICTIMS TAKEN FROM
WEST VIRGINIA SHAFT WHERE
THE BLAST OCCURRED.
CAUSE OF DISASTER
is NOT YET KNOWN
Of 64 Men Caught, So Make Their Es-
cape-Sx Working on TippIe Have
Close CaI-Entombed Diggers Are
Recovering.

Charleston, w. Va, May 3.-The
bodies of IL men have been recovered
from the Whipple mine, where an ex-
plosion of gas occurred late Wednes-
day, and this is thought to be the full
extent of the fatalities.
The dead are: Robert Armstrong,
Charles Burgess, Nutson Burgess,
Erastus Wiley, Raleigh Tucker, Ed
Smith, George Samper, William Will
son, John Thompson, Earnest Kelly,
and Ira Kelly.
The number of injured is five, the
last injured man taken out Thursday
being an unknown Syrian. The mine
was only slightly damaged. The cause
of the explosion is still unknown.
The mine where the explosion oc-
Cured is shaft 450 feet deep. 1t
has two openings and belongs to the
DiXson interests, who also own the
Stuart mine, where an explosion oc-
Cured last January that killed sc
men.
All But Eleven Escaped.
Ninety-four men are employed in
the mine, but 80 left it just before the
explosion. Of the 64 men left inside,
So escaped through the second shaft
of the mine.
After the explosion the So miners
who escaped unhurt rushed to the
second shaft where the explosion had
no effect. Here they huddled until the
cage took them to the surface.
Six men at work On the tipple at
the main shaft escaped injury al
though the force of the explosion at
this point was terrific. Flying timbers
were hurled in every direction about
the main shaft, but the six men were
not so much as scratched.
FoustWeII Men Recovering.
Johnstown, Pa, May Sit was an
nounced by the physicians of the
Windber hospital, where the seven
miners who were entombed in the
mine at Foustwell, near here, for over
100 hours, that all the men will re
cover. They are not yet allowed to
have solid food, being sustained by
means of liquid nourishment. 1t is
generally conceded that had not q
spring of pure water been discovered
while the men were imprisoned they
would have all died of thirst.
In Foustwen Wednesday, the miners
refused to work and spent the day
| celebrating the deliverance of theil
comrades.
