MINE HORROR
THROWS PAIL
OVER TOWN
LIST OF DEAD MAY NUMBER
SEVENTY
Disaster at Hanna, Wyoming, Believed
to Have Caused the Death
of Over Three

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 29.-Be-
tween fifty-five and seventy men lost
their lives in two explosions in coal
mine No. /. owned by the Union Pacific
Coal company, at Hanna yesterday af-
ternoon and last night. The explosions
were by gas and coal dust and each
was followed by fire.
The first explosion occurred at 3
o'clock in the afternoon, ven eighteen
mine workers, including a superinten-
dent and three bosses, were killed.
The second explosion occurred at
10:30 last night. snuffing out the lives
of from forty to fifty members of a
rescue party, including State Mine In
spector d. M. Elies. The names of the
men killed in the first explosion were
ascertained from the company's books,
but those of the rescuers were not
known as no record was kept of those
who volunteered for this dangerous
work.
The widest excitement prevailed to
day in Hanna and at the mine, where
hundreds are congregated, including
widows, children and other relatives
of the victims. Many women are run
ming about wringing their hands and
crying, while many little children, sep

panic that prevails, are sobbing and
trembling in fear.
Appeal for Help
After the second explosion additional
appeals were telegraphed to all sur
rounding towns for assistance. One
train is being rushed west from Oma-
ha, carrying officials of the Union Pa
cific railroad and the Union Pacific
Coal company.
The regular force of men employed
at mines No. and 8 was pressed into
rescue work, which is extremely diff
cult and hazardous The bodies of
four of the eighteen men who last
their lives In the first explosion were
located last night, but owing to the
eyer-increasing volume of gas, which
threatened to explode at any moment,
no effort was made to remove them to
the surface.
Fire started in the mine last Satur-
day, since which time regular attempts
have been made to extinguish 1t. Yes
terday it was deemed unwise to send
the miners down into the workings,
and they were notified not to report for
duty.
Superintendent Briggs with team
of picked men, the best and most ex-
perienced hands In the camp, went
into the mine to fight the fire, but at
2 o'clock the flames had become be-
yond their control. and at o'clock
connected with the walls of gas and
a terrific explosion followed. The vic
tins are all below the tenth level and it
is likely that the flames have con-
sumed the corpses.

BOMB THROWING NEW & RESULT OF POLICE BRUTALITY DECLARES NOTED SOOOOGSI
LAWLESS ELEMENT IN
COLORADO IS ACTIVE
Following Attempt to Blow General
Wells, Officers Post More
Guards-Fear Attack
on Adams
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated PreSs.
TELLURIDE, Colo, March 29.-As
the result of the attempt to murder
General Bulkeley Wells. general mana
ger of the Smuggler- Union mines and
mills at Pandora, yesterday morning,
Sheriff Fitzpatrick Is taking precau-
tions to guard the jail In which Steve
Adams, charged with the assassination
of Arthur l.. Collins, General Wells
predecessor, is confined.
The feeling against Adams is becom-
ing more bitter from day to day. He
is supposed to represent the element
among the miners that believes in vio-
lence against the mine owners.
Feeling against Adams has been en-
gendering, 1t is said, because of the
fact that during the past two weeks
fully score or more of miners and
others who were deported during the
trouble of strike days, have returned
to the district and are actively en-
gagged In circulating among all classes
and attempting to create svmpCthy and
sentiment for Adams.
General Wells secured a confession
from Steve Adams in Idaho in which
Adams implicated himself as the slay-
er of Collins, but Adams has since re-
pudiated his confession and for this
reason, 1t is believed that Adams
friends may think that IL Wells should
be gotten out of the way before the
case comes to trial. 1t would be diff
cult to convict Adams. About a week
ago General Wells received an anony-
nous letter threatening him with
death.
Other anonymous letters are report
ed to have been received by different
mining companies in the district, stat
ing their mills would be blown up and
that they would be given trouble in
different days, and FOLLOWING the at
tempt on General Wells life more
guards have been employed. and In
creased precautions are being taken.

CHESTER GILLETTE, WHO
SLEW SWEETHEART, MUST
SUFFER DEATH PENALTY
Governor Hughes Of New York Re-
fuses to Interfere in Case of
Youth Found Guilty
of Murder


BY Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 29.-Gover-
nor Hughes tonight announced that he
had denied the application for a re-
prieve for Chester Gillette, and no act
of the governor that can now be fore
seen will interfere with Gillettes exc
cution at Auburn prison, possibly to-
morrow morning, for the murder of his
sweetheart, Grace Brown of South
Otselic, Chenango county, at Big Moose
lake in the Adirondacks, on July IL,
1906.
The governor dismisses the theory
based on the alleged new evidence pre-
sented by John H. Dugan of Albany,
who appeared for the Gillette family be-
fore the governor, as wholly unten-
able" and declares that ''if reason is
to be our guide and all the established
facts taken into consideration, there Is
no escape from the conclusion that a
brutal murder was committed and that
the conviction was just.

SLAY
MESSENGER,
LOOT SAFE
WELLS-FARG0 EMPL0YE Is
KILLED ON TRAIN
Dead Body Found in Express Car on
Santa Fe at Newton, kas.-Big
Reward Offered by
Company
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEWTON, Kas., March 80. A.
Bailey, an express messenger of the
Wells Fargo Express company, was
killed by an unknown person on Santa
Fe train No. 115, between Florence
and Newton, early this morning. Rob
berry was the object.
Both safes, the local and the
through safes, were ransacked and at
least $1,000 in money and some jewelry
taken. The amount the robbers Sc
cured is not known.
The dead messenger was found at 4
o'clock this morning when the train
reached Newton The body was
stretched on the floor of the car, the
head beaten to a pulp and lying III
a pool of blood The back of the
skull was crushed and the end of the
car where it was lying was spattered
with blood There was no evidence OF
a struggle, the idea being the crime
was committed while the messenger
was asleep. Bailey was seen alive
at Strong City. AT Peabody some one
opened the car door just enough tc
throw out package of way bills and
then closed it quickly.
The custom of the messenger has
been to go to sleep soon after leaving
Florence and it is possible he did this
last night. After being struck while
sleeping and rendered unconscious, his
body rolled to the floor, and the rob-
ber, after beating him on the head
covered it with the dead mans coat
One blow was struck at the mans
face with a sharp weapon, apparently
a hatchet, which broke the jaw bone,
From the dead mans pockets the keys
were removed and the safes ransacked.
Then the keys were put back into
Baileys oVercoat, the coat folded and
put in his grip, where it was found
later.
Two Theories Advanced
Two theories are held by the Off
GERS: one is that the robbers entered
the car unobserVed at Emporia, Strong
City or some other point along the
line and concealed themselves until a
favorable opportunity to commit the
robbery occurred, and the other is that
Bailey admitted somebody he knew and
considered friend. When the train
slowed down at the Missouri Pacific
crossing in the east part of Newton,
two men were seen by the engineer
to Jump from the train and run south.
The south door of the express car was
found open when the train reached the
Newton depot. 1t is believed these
men were the robbers and that they
made a detour around the business
part OF TOWN. 10 tiie west yaiuS VI tlio
Santa Fe, where they may have board
ed Santa Fe train No. IT, which left
the depot twenty minutes after No.
115 arrived
Three suspicious characters were
taken off the blind baggage of train
No. II when it reached Wichita and
held for investigation. The officers
were notified as soon as the murder
was discovered and within an hour
posses were securing the country.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered
by the Wells Fargo Express company
for the apprehension of the guilty par
ties. Up to this evening no traces of
the robbers had been found.
The murdered messenger was about
thirty-two years old, and was married
recently. His home was in Kansas
City, Mo.

SAN DIEGO, March 29.-The naval
tus Navajo arrived here today from

battleship fleet and left again tonight
with many hundreds of mail bags
aboard, consigned the vessels still
In southern waters The Navajo did
not take the mail directed to the flag
ship Connecticut, which has been de-
tached from the fleet to bring Admiral
Evans to the hot springs of San Luis
Obispo, Cal, for a course of treat
ment, which it is hoped will greatly
benefit the rheumatism from which he
has been suffering practically ever
since the fleet left Hampton Roads,
December 16 last.
The officers of the Navajo could give
no information as to Admiral Evans

last Thursday, or two days in advance

ment at Washington telling of the
admiraPs plan to proceed north in
advance of the fleet. and to rejoin 1t

The Connecticut finished her record
target practice last Thursday night
and according to the men on the Nav
ajo. the flagship is believed to have
broken all previous worlds records
with her 12-inch guns. This informa-
tion is entirely unofficial, however. and
may be materially changed when the
correct figures are announced.
There is much rivalry among the
crews of the Connecticut, the Louis
lana, the Kansas and the Vermont

the First division of the fleet, under
the immediate command of Admiral
Evans himself.
At delayed record practice late last
fall the Louisiana made a splendid
record, while at battle practice the

ulous feats of hitting targets with her

The Connecticut and the Yankton,
the fleet tender will call at San Diego
for mail when the Connecticut is re-
turning to Magdalena to rejoin the
fleet for the trip to San Diego. The
Yankton may remain here until the
fleets arrival. to be used by Admiral
Evans as he may direct.
