CURED at Haileyville, fifteen miles
east Of here, today, when between
twenty-five and thirty miners were
entombed in the Hailey-Ola coal mine
No. l, the result of a fierce fire which,
1t is believed, has shut OF all means
of escape. The men are all in the
lower part of the mine. At noon a
telephone message from the scene
stated the fire was burning so fiercely
that it was impossible for rescuers to
enter the shaft. and it was then be-
lieved the entombed men must surely
be burned to death. All of the min
ers are foreigners.
The fire is said to have started at
$3.50 o'clock this morning, soon after
the day shift went to work 1t APP
pears that barrel of oil caught fire
and later exploded, spreading oil in
all directions. The fire spread with
such rapidity that the miners on the
lower tiers we're unable to reach the
shaft and all escape was cut off.
The mine is owned by DR.. D. B.
HALEY, OF McAlester, and is one OF
the biggest mining properties in the
State.
Soon after the fate of the entombed
men became generally known crowds
of wildly excited women and children,
relatives of the unfortunate men, APP
peared at the mouth of the shaft.
Their grief was pitiable, and their
fruitless cries for the entombed miners
added much to the confusion. Those
who were able to reach the surface
were greeted with shouts of joy The
officials Of the company, aided by the
mine bosses and others, Immediately
set to work to rescue the men still In
the mine. 1t was soon apparent, how :
ever, that no one could enter the mine,
as volumes of smoke began to pour
rom the openings.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The
monthly statement of the collection of
internal revenue shows that the total
for July, 1908, was $22,029,316, which
is falling off of $2,S99,5O8 as COM
pared with July, 1907. BY far the
larger part of this decrease is in the
collections from spirits. The most
noteworthy decrease is in the receipts
from the retail liquor dealers special
tax, which amounts to $216,149. This
indicates that S,646 retail liquor deal
ers went out Of business during the
month of July, which is said to be
largely due to the prohibition agitation
in the various States.

SELMA, Ala, Aug. 21.--Martin Par

without rhyme or reason, shot and
badly wounded Peter Davis, a well
known colored citizen, has gone stark
mad since his arrest. He jabbers like
a monkey and tears his garments in

became affected by reading of the

to shoot the negro.
