Five men were instantly killed, an
other is expected to die and five others
were seriously injured in a collision
at the Warrior Run colliery Of the Le-
high Valley Coal Co. near Wilkes
Barre. Pa. Two men were being
hoisted up the slope when runaway
car struck the cars, on which were
twenty men. who were employed in
the mine. Only six OF them escaped
entirely uninjured.
The car which ran away was being
switched from one track to another
when the head man in charge OF 1t
lost control of it. 1t went beyond the
point intended. jumping the latches at
the head of the slope and running up
a steep incline. It then ran back down
into the slope 1000 feet before It
struck the other cars with the men
on. The cars with the workmen
aboard had just stopped at what was
known as No. lift to take on other
employees from that part Of the mine
A signal to start upwards had Just

Rosenbloons out on An.

Mrs Bonnie ROsanblOom and her
sixteon-year-old daughter. Eva, who
were arrested in Baltimore for COM
plicity in the alleged murder OF
their husband and father, Solomon ia
cob Rosenbloom. of Windber. Pa, We're
admitted 10 bail AT Somerset Pa.
by District Attorney Miller. They
we're held as witnesses to appear
whenever the authorities want them.
The murder charge against them VIII
be dropped for the present The dis
trict attorney thinks this is the best
course to pursue. for he wants to wait
until Alexander Rosenboom, who is
suspected OF numbering his father, is
arrested.
The fact that Mrs. Rosenbloom has
said she believes Alexander Rosen-
bloom. her son, has left the country
leads the authorities to believe that
his arrest never may be made. 1t is
almost a year since the young man
disappeared, and it is believed that he
has placed as much distance as posi-
BILE between the scene Of the alleged
crime and himselft.
If he has left the country. the police
think there is small chance of captur-
ing Alexander.
