Two Theories of Cause.

The noise of the explosion was an
ominous summons to all the people of
the town and they hurried to the shaft
house.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined. Two theories are
entertained: One is that a pocket Of
gas was struck by one of the miners,
quickly filing the workings and then
igniting from a lamp. The other theory
is that gas from a well on the farm
under which the mine is located pene-
trated the workings. The land in the
vicinity is said to be gaseous and it is
possible gas may have seeped through
the coal stratum until it accumulated
in sufficient volume to cause the dis
aster.

Mine Belches Smoke.

Immediately following the explosion
a dense column of smoke issued from
the shaft and it was feared a fierce fire
was raging at the bottom of the mine.
A short time afterward the smoke al
most ceased.
Rescue work was started Immediately
Inspector Louttit assuming charge, but
it was impossible to gain entrance to
the mine for long time. The opening
of the shaft was the only solution, and
for this task there were volunteers IL
numbers sufficient to work short relays
of as many men as could find room fol-
operation.

Inspection Was Completed.

Construction work was practically I'M

explosion, had completed a two days
inspection, which had revealed no cause
for apprehension.
So great was the force of the explo
sion that shattered portions of the
woodwork about the mouth of The
shaft were blown into Ten Mile creek

 Gloom.
YOUNGSTERS AGGRESSIVE

The Birmingham High school defeated the Athletic club. 'Twouldnt do to put an exclamation point after that Best drape it in mourning. But when the score is known, 2s to Il, it becomes a weeding feast on a funeral day for the shout of triumph on the part of the school boys is still ringing in the club gymnasium, and the Athletic club mem bers are saying. "1 used to go to the High school!'
 In this strenuous game the High school snatched away the fimsy rag which seemed so bright after the Mobile game, tore. down all the confidence of the de- feated team. and with the last contest Of the season became champion of Birming- ham. The spirit of the young blood had already triumphed over the Young Mems Christian Association.
 The winning team, Thurman Thomas and Bert Haley. forwards; Earl Major. center; Moffett and Lambkin, guards; every one bona fide High school boy, quick, cool and. strong. They went in to win, and not a single chance 10 score did they let pass until the referee called time.
 Over-confidence was the tack fin the clubs running gear. They thought defeat at the hands of the youngsters impos- sble.
 They jumped for the toss with plumage spread in hauty grandeur.
 After little scramble Haley threw the first goal, thus putting the youngsters in the lead, an advantage which they never lost. There followed a club goal by Cole, and then Major and Thomas made two quick throws, assisted by fine pass work.
 Then the club became surprised Chair sell, however, put in pretty goal put Major on long soar and Haley on quick pass under the basket scored two goals in jiffy.
 Chairsell came forward once more with long shot from the side, and then assisted Mckinney with a full field pass Thomas with his exceptionally fine form, scored twice in sensational plays.
 And then the club lost courage. The first half closed with the score 16 to 3. T..e second half fell far short of the tirst in interest. for the High school simply picked up the ball and went walking. Major secured three pretty goals in suc- cesSion.
 Then the club became angry!
 Thomas. Major and Haley continued to enjoy their picnic, while the guards, Lambkin and Moffett supplied them wlth sandwiches to their hearts content.
 And then the club began to fight. They raced around like angry bulls but the whistle blew, the dying gladiators were bodily removed. and the jolly crowd en- loved a dance.
 The score follows:
