Young Woman.


IEIGLER, Ill.,, Dec. 21.-With ii stub

men who have been ceaselessly ut work
for days seeking to save the coal supply
of the great Ieigler mine. Joe Letter,
Chicago millionaire, and his beautiful
young wife have joined forces with the
worklnen and are personally combating
the flames.
Early today Letter and his wife, for
mery Miss Juliette Williams of Wash
ingtOn, ID. G., were at the scene Of the
conflict. Letter was leading the work
men with an inspiring energy, while on
the fighting line. tired but determined
was his beautiful young wife, serving
the almost exhausted men with coffee
and sandwiches and encouraging them
by her presence.
Hope to Save Mine
Letter arrived at Ieiglcr on special
train. hastily arranged for. Through his
presence and that Of his wife hope re
mains for saving the mine.
Fire started in the coal beds several
days ago. Gradually the flames have
eaten their way forward, and what was
believed to be Il matter of small cunSe-
uuence now threatens the destruction of
an indefinite amount of wealth-produc-
ing mineral and the loss of employment
to hundreds.
Mrs. Letter has had bandageS. medi-
cines. salveS, etc. brought from the
commissary to the mouth of the shaft,
and there she has erected Il temporary
hospital tent. Cots and warm bedding
were also brought into service. and when
a fire fighter. singed by the heat, over

haustion. was brought out of the shaft,
he received quick and effective treat
ment. In many cases this was admin

Are Valuable Property
The Ieigler mines are among the most
valuable of the Letter properties. Their
coal supply is practically limitess, while
great expense has been incurred i'll erect
ing homes for the miners and the con
structiOn of buildings and the purchase
Of implements.
Since its requirement, however. the
Zeigler property has not been a prosper
Gus one for Mr.. Letter. Soon after it's
purchase he had troubles with organized
labor, which proved very expensive.
These troubles had hardly been
snoothed over before the disastrous fire
came.
1t is believed that if the flames are
checked ut the present status the mine
cannot be worked for months and that
heavy financial loss has already resulted.
