Of Those Who DelVe IN

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 2.-Seve11-
teen men are dead as the result of an
explosion in number two Short Creek
mines of the Birmingham Coal and
Iron company this morning. Five OF
the dead are white and twelve are ne
groes The explosion occurred be-

The mines are about ten miles west of
Ensley, and are difficult OF access.
The bodies were taken from the mines
this morning and the rooms and pas
sages are clear tonight. The mine it
self is practically uninjured.
Approaching window, from which
a view of the court room could be had,
Miss Ware saw Hanes among the spec
tators and before she could be strained
drew a revolver from the folds of her
dress and opened fire.
Three of the bullets went through to
the intended mark, inflicting wounds
iro back and arms, he dying within an
hour. Smith was shot in the head and
it is not believed possible for him to
live until tomorrow. Ross was wound
ed in the back and arm and it is be-
liel ed also that his wounds will prove

Wishek, n. d., Feb. 2.-Special.-
About two o'clock this morning fire
discovered in the second story of Herr
Bros. & Co.'S large general store in their
clothing and furniture department, but
had such good, headway that it was i'm
possible to check the flames, destroying
completely the Herr Bros. Co store
r. J. Bailey's meat market, Wishek
pcstofice and M. F. Pratts residence.
With much difficulty and by heroic
work of the water bucket brigade the
First State bank and Wishek drug
store buildings were saved. If there
had been strong wind at this time th.
entire town undoubtedly would have
teen destroyed. u
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Total loss is estimated at about &O, 900,
covered by about $35 200 insurance.

"Our march now lay through a sue

head of this monarch of the plains,
testifying to the recent passage of In

wickiups or temporary shelters made
of saplings and tree branches, but so
far no signs of the hostile Sioux were

and we were in hourly expectation that
the savages would appear to dispute
our progress. Plains Scared by deep

firing on the village, which must have
been the Custer fight. AS they refused
to leave the horses, he started with
O'Neil afoot on their own hook.
At one time an Indian rode within a
few feet of them, cut a switch and
went on. They were then at the edge
OF a clearing, which they dared not
cross until dark, and they hid them
selves between some driftwood In a
hole, placing their cartridges all around
handy and ready for the expected at
tack.
Two shots were fired In close prox-
unity, and they thought they were
gone. Peering out. they saw that it
was Indian women who were mutilat-
ing the bodies of some dead soldiers.
Searching around the ground, they
came 80 bear that they were tempted

were startled by a quick succession of
unearthly yells, and soon after a band
of Crows, painted h~ideously, burst into

Sioux than they had ever seen before.

- Nh OF the most I1rlllnB per-
sonal experiences that l ever
~ heard was that of Lieutenant
De Rudio, who was cut off
from Reno's command at the Little
Big Horn and spent two days and
nights filed with such narrow escapes
and blood curdling dangers as to make,
under the conditions, the most callous
mans hair stand ON end.
In the fight he was guarding a pony
crossing with eight men, when one of
them said: Lieutenant, get your horse
quick! Reno's retreatingr' But as
no trumpet had been sounded and no
order had been given he hesitated and
waited for the call. AS the men had
seen the others retreat,ng, they uncere
moniously left, and De Rudio, seeing
get 1t, which he did, but saw thirty-hve
or forty Indians coming. He dashed
Off, and they fired a volley; but, lean
ing low on his horse, 1t went high over
him. He rode into the thick under
brush, when they fired many shots into
the woods, the bullets cutting the
branches all around him. He crossed
the creek, scrambling up the bank,
when suddenly he saw hundreds Of In
dams In front of him, not fifty yards
distant, shooting at the retreating sol
dfers, with their backs toward him. He
instantly saw that he was entirely cut
Off. While thinking how desperate a

wife and children nerved him, and he
was about to brave 1t when a young
Indian about thirty yards distant on
his right fired and killed his horse.
The shot attracted the other Indians,
and De Rudio jumped down the bank,
hiding In an excavation, and several
volleys were fred, SO accurately SEEM
ingly that the Indians thought he must
be killed.
A terrible yelling began among the
Indians, and all at once the firing
ceased. Peering out, he saw the cause.
Captain Benteen's column was COM
ing eel the hills and had attracted
their attention. 1t aroused the hope
that they would come neal enough for
him to join them, but In a few minutes
they disappeared, and the Indians all
started off In that direction. Reno's
command lad evidently rallied, and
they all got together, SO his only hope

mand as lie could. Ihich he could
plainly see At the same time there
was a NOV. Zen on another hill on the
right, and he thought he saw for a
moment Go leral Custer and some Of
icers, and then they disappeared.
While quietly going through the brush
he heard II whispered Lieutenant,

vate O'Neil Of 9 troop and Gerard, in
