4OOiIWORKERS IMPRISONED IN
BURNING MINE, PROBABLY
NONE WILL Be SAVED ALIVE

Cherry, Ill, Nov. 14.-Four hundred
miners are imprisoned and probably
dead as a result of fire which was
raging inside the ST. Paul coal mine
yesterday afternoon. Twelve bodies
were taken out Six of these were
not employees, but heroes who gave
their lives in futile effort to save
the imprisoned workers. The fire
is the result of an explosion of coal
dust in the mine.
Mine superintendent. Steele de
plosion it was almost impossible that
any one could escape. The mine has
day shift of 484 men. Fifty left
the mine at noon. twenty-five are
known to have escaped after the fire
broke out. The entrance was sealed
in the hope of checking the flames.
The building above the pit entrance
was blown UP to permit this. De
spite the frantic efforts of the Off
Gals and scores of volunteers, it
seems certain that only dead bodies
will be taken from the mine. The
fire originated in a pile of hay, the
timbers Of the mine became ignited
and the smoke and flames and gases
make exit impossible. Outside he
roes contributed five to the list OF
twelve known dead. Alexander Ner,
berg, a pit man, descended the shaft
and carried the bodies of four men
into the cage, the only way of escape
| AS the last was carried in Nerberg
| fell unconscious across the body. He
was dead as a result of suffOcation
as were all his companions, when
the cage reached the surface.
Those who entered with him were
Superintendent John Bundy. John
Flood, Isaac Lewis, merchants, and
Cherry and Dominic Fonenti.
At the mouth of the shaft were
hundreds of screaming women, weep
ing children and frantic men. The
few survivors were surrounded by
groups of women, and were obliged to
declare that there was no hope for
those in the mine Almost 200 OF
these were in the third vein, the only
entrance of which is from the sec
ond vein, 500 feet from the main
shaft
The fire had burned the timbers i'll

tumbled downward and the names
then swept to the mouth of the pit,
so the mouth of the pit was sealed.
That the prisoners reiterated TO the
furthermost ends of the veins was a
statement of the miners who escaped.
The latter included only those near
the main shaft. They declared that
a careless miner had thrown a torch
on a bundle of hay used to feed the
mules. Afterward two miners threw
the burning mass on a cart and start
