TEN men SHUT
Up IN A MINE
Were Investigating Unsatisfactory
COnditionS-Gas ExpIO-
sion Occurs.

Pittsburg, Jan. 26.-While Superin-
tendent ]. G.. Logan and a party of
miners were investigating conditions
which had been unsatisfactory in the
coal mine of the Merchants Coal
company, at Boswell, Somerset coun-
ty, a gas explosion occurred which
has already cost the life of one man
and may result in the death of a
dozen more.
Because of the anticipated trouble
the night shift was not permitted to
enter the mine, and thus the lives OF
many men were spared
Superintendent Logan, accompa-
MED by Mine Boss George Morris,
Pit Boss John Cole and IL foreigners,
had begun an investigation and were
nearly mile back in the mine when
the explosion occurred. Such was it's
force that lotion motor was turned
upside down. The mine caved in ana
the passage way was completely
blocked, with 10 men back of the OBJ
struction. Three foreigners, badly
burned, found their way out.

COLLEGE BEATS
TOWN TEAM
Third of Indoor Ball Series Results
in Score of 10 to II For
C0IlegianS.

Monday night, the third of the Sc
ries of indoor baseball games between
the college nine and the Winchester
Reds, was played before a good aud
fence and resulted in a win for the
collegians by a score of 10 to IL.
The Reds started off with big lead
in the first inning but the college boys
caught up in the third and held the
lead until time was called at the ex-
piration of the hour agreed upon as
the time limit, the score going back
to the fifth inning.
The feature of the game was the
spectacular work of Prof Dalgety.
who officiated In the box for the win
ners. He pitched a remarkable game,
hit like a fiend, and his fielding was a
revelation. In the third inning he
practically retired the opposing side,
making two put-outs and an assist.
Caldwell, Crockett and Cannon also
played sensational ball, though it is
hard to pick out any particular stars
as the teams last night were excep-
tionally will balanced.
For the Reds, Campbell pitched
steadily and fielded his position nice
ly. Berry and Crane also deserve
special mention. The team as a
whole, played up to their standard
and it was simply a case of the best
team won as has been the case in the
other two games of the series.
The lineup follows:
