l25 Men are Entombed and
Probably Killed by ExplO-
sion in Marianna Coal
Mine-- No Hope of Res
cuing the Miners.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 2S.-The last
ray of hope for the rescue of any of
the 125 or more miners who are en-
tombed by an explosion in the Mari
anna mines of the Pittsburg- Buffalo
Goal company shortly before noon to-
day was dispelled at $3.50 tonight
when the first rescuing party reached
the workings and found dead bodies
scattered about the floor of the mine.
Few, If any, of the body were mutt
lated, the men undoubtedly smother
cd by deadly gases following the ex-
plosion. The bodies are not yet
counted, but it is known there are at
least 125 and the number may be
larger. All but two of the bodies in
the mine are said to be foreigners.
A few minutes before the explosion
Deputy State Mine Inspector Henry
Louttit completed two days inspec-
tion, which revealed no cause for ap-
prehension. He and General Mana
ger Kerr of the company came to the
surface few minutes before IL.
Mine Foreman Henry Thompson and
two miners entered the cage and it
was started toward the bottom of the
5OO-foot shaft. Suddenly there was
an ominous rumbling, then tremb-
ling of the ground around the mouth
of the shaft as from an earthquake,
and an instant later there was ter
rife report, the cage was hurled up
the shaft and through the roof OF
the shaft house. the mine foreman
and the two men still in it. Their
bodies were tossed through the tor
of the building and far beyond it.
Thompson was dead when picked uT
and the others mortally injured.
So great was the force OF the ex
plosion that shattered portions of the
woodwork about the mouth of the
shaft we're blown into Ten Mile
creek, 1000 feet away. Immediatel,
following the explosion u dense col

the Rachel and Agnes mines, in re-
alitya double mine with under
ground connections. The cause of
the explosion is undetermined. Two
theories are entertained. One that
pocket of gas was struck by one of
the miners, quickly filling the work
ings and then ignited from a lamp.
The other theory is that gas from a
well on the Fulton farm, under which
the mine is located, penetrated the
workings. Peter Arnold, was brought
out alive from the Rachel shaft at
midnight Joseph Kearney, one OF
the rescuing party, reported other
men alive. Arnold was found un-
conscious 100 feet from the Agnes
shaft. When he reached the surface
he said the explosion occurred close
to the Agnes shaft.
