Twelve Men Killed In Mine.

Twelve men were killed in the Cam.

miles from Johnstown. Pa. as the re
suit of what is supposed to have been
q dynamite explosion.
Three men escaped with their lives
by a perilous climb on life ladders
through poisonous mine gas and falling
slate up the steep walls OF the main
shaft. At the time OF the explosion
only fifteen workmen. all track layers,
were In the mine.
II is not expected that the cause OF
the explosion will ever be learned
from the men who were at work In
the mine, as the three who made their
way to the surface are lying In the
Cambria hospital here at the point OF
death. They were almost suffocated by
the smoke during their perilous climb
The explos ion occurred as the work
men were putting their tools away at
the end OF their days work. The con
oussion caused by the terrific subter
ranean blast caused many windows In
the mining village surrounding the
Cambria mine to be broken into bits
Hundreds of persons gathered at the
mine entrance within an incredible
space of time.
A force OF men, working In shifts
began clearing the debris and fallen
slate In the lower levels OF the mine
where the explosion occurred. II was
hours before the workers gained per
ceptible headway. When the final bar
rier of rocks was passed the rescue
party found twelve huddled forms
close together. the bodies indicating
the men had died of suffocation.
