HOPE AsANDoNEB FOR MEN EN-.
ToMsEo IN BURNING COAL
MINE.
900 COFFINS ORDERED
TWO HUNDRED WIDOWS AND
ONE THOUSAND ORPHANS
AT CHERRY, ILL.

Cherry, IIl.-The three hundred or
more miners who are entombed in the
ST. Paul mine by last Saturdays disas-
ter are dead. Some of the bodies lie
buried beneath thousands of tons Of
earth which has caved in upon them,
and 1t is doubtful IL many of the
bodies can ever be recovered.
This was the opinion expressed
Monday night when attempts at res
cue work. carried on night and day for
forty-eight hours were temporarily
abandoned. Renewed fires in the
mine made further descents by rescu-
ers impossible.
Fans employed in an effort to carry
fresh air to the imprisoned men
served only to enliven sparks, which
sprang into flame. Soon the heat
and smoke became SO dense that it
was necessary again to seal up the
mouth OF the hoisting shaft, and the
men down there. whatever their con-
dition, are locked in as effectively as
in dungeon.
When the bodies will be taken out
depends upon the condition of the in
ternal fire.
1t was learned that 300 coffins have
been ordered.
1t is believed that no one within
the power of resuscitation will be
brought out of the mine.
Hope hung frequently in the balance
Monday. Before the fire blazed again.
rescuers descended four times. Then
the rumor circulated quickly through
had been reached. and that the reason
they were brought up Immediately
was that they were exhausted by lack
of food and by smoke.
They're alive; they're alive" cried
hopeful mothers and wives. They'll
be brought up pretty soon.'
But the truth was far different The
rescuers did on one occasion go down
900 feet to the bottom of the hoisting
shaft. Then, cropping their way with
electric lamps, and kept alive by oxy-
gen stored in their helmets, they pen
etrated $50 feet into the bottom gal
lery. But none of the miners, either
dead or alive, were found.

Earling caused house-to-house

lies were not at home. and it is be-
ieyed when complete list is OBJ

will exceed 300.

would likely encounter, when told
to operate the machine.

which prohibits them from holding
meetings on the street, the local
corps Of the Salvation Army finds
1t difficult st times to raise funds

An excellent program Is being
arranged. and outside talent have
volunteered their services. The
price of admission is only Is cents,
and u good crowd is expected to

POOR SHOW FOR ABERDEEN
THIS AFTERNOON

Gregg Is slated for the slab this
afternoon against Aberdeen, and
Huff, the Chicago Cubs scout,
will likely be taking notes on the
boy. 1t Is understood that he was
willing to stay over a day for that
purpose. There is a notion that
Gregg could make the big league,
and he will probably be pulled east
when the season closes. Brown
won't sell him now. Ostdiek will
likely be back in the mask again,
and all things considered 1t is hard
to see where Aberdeen has a
chance unless the jinks float in
somehow.
There may be a new ruling on
the draw game at Aberdeen, as
Lucas~has called for additional evil
dence and it has been furnished.
Aberdeen protested on the game
being called a draw, while Brown
Is showing the rules to prove that
II the decision is altered at all
Spokane ought to be given the
game. Brown has the law ON his
side.
O'Brien, the Aberdeen trouble
maker, is with the team here, but
nothing riotous will develop If
Brown can help 1t. He deplores
rough work on the field as much as
anyone. but his Irish gets the best
of him sometimes when he sees
things being handed to him. At
the same time none of them has
the best of him on knowledge Of
rules of the game and willingness
to keep the records clean.
Another point that may come up
against the Aberdeen management
is the fact that officials of that
club went into the bleachers while
game was on with Portland and
covered all the money a bunch of
hostile fans wanted to put up on
the Colts. Gambling is one thing
the real fans won't stand for In
baseball, and the Spokane manage
ment has made an enviable record
here in discouraging 1t.

POOR OLD
MAN LIVES
ON GARBAGE
HE'S BACK. IN JAIL AGAIN,
WHERE WORST TERROR HE

With the usual accumulation OF
filth spread thickly over his clothes
and countenance, Carl WILDER is In
jail again-this time on state
charge of vagrancy. Six months
in the county Jail and maybe more
will likely be his when he faces
Judge Mann for about the fifth
time in the last six months or so.
WILDER, who claims to be Bo-
hemian brewer, has never been
known to plead for leniency when
he has been so fortunate as to fall
into the bad graces Of some ofiicer,

come to him. To the older members
of the police department he is
known as the human vulture," and
such is the manner in which he
has been described time and again
to Judge Mann and his predeces-
sors in police court.
The grizzled old fellow picks his
food from garbage cans on back
steps and alleys. 1t is a common
sight to see him rumaging through
the fermenting scraps for some
choice" morsel, perhaps for des.
sert, though he never seems par
ticular whether the dessert
comes at the beginning or the end
of his meals.
When out of Jail he generally
eats or "nibbles" continually. Halt
decayed fruits found in the cutters
are his delight and his pockets gen.
orally yield up good supply OF
frangrant rations of this kind. He
is generally due for a forced bath
whenever his presence in the city
lengthens into time in Jail. 1t is
upon the TRUSTEES with their scrub
brushes and laundry soap that this
task falls.
There is little If anything that
Carl WILDER despises more than a

an extraordinary manner of induce.

The well known old character is
