CLOSING SCENES
OF Mine TRAGEDY
Recovery Of Bodies Begun
at Cherry, Ill.
SLOW PROGRESS IS MADE

only Few Blaekened Rename Are
Brought to the Surface, a Shoulder
Ing Fire Preventing Rapid Work.
Crowds Of Grief Stricken Men, Wo-
mon and Children Gather Around
the Mouth Of the Shaft.
Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 2o.--Uosing scenes
Of the st. Paul mine tragedy, removal
and Identification of the dead, is max
Ing mournful progress.
, Three bodies, those of two men and
a boy, were the first brought to the
surface. Four other bodies were
dragged from the debris of the sec
;ond gallery and taken within reach of
the cage, but were allowed to remain
there for some time. Fifty or seventy
five other bodies we're beyond reach
for the time being because of smoul-
dering fire in the mine timbers.
The heart wrenching prospect for
the day became apparent when FIRE
men unrol7ed a great strip of canvas
on the prairie beyond the main shaft,
Here the three bodies which were
the first to be brought out we're laid.
Grief stricken men, women and chill
dren formed a great circle around the
canvas, but many turned away, IN
able to endure the sobs and cries Of
those seeking their relatives.
Scores Gaze at Bodiesof Dead.
Two of the bodies were quickly fden-
tilted. but not until scores Of women
had gazed on the blackened features
and turned away, shaking with sobs,
to await the next dread load from the
depth of the mine.
Although there were many women
in the anxious crowd there were more
children, who pushed their way TO
where the bodies lay. AS one after
another of the children and women
turned away some we're weeping, but
others we're past the relief of tears.
Many Of the women scattered about
the yards and switch tracks 10 be
alone, with their wondering children
clinging to their skirts.

FLOOD PATTEN WITH WHEAT
Over 100000 Bushels of May Wheat
Delivered to Big Bull.

Chicago, May 3.-Had James A. Pat.
ten been in Chicago Saturday personally
to pay over in gold all the money re.
CURED to take care of the wheat deiv.
cred on May contracts he would have
had to use shovel and scoop the gold
pieces out rapidly. 1t required some
where between 100000 and $780,.
900 to pay for the 100000 bushels Of
wheat delivered to the Bartlett Patten
house half on hour before the opening
Saturday.
1t is estimated that the average price
of the big Patten line of wheat was
around $1.O5, possibly as high as $1lQ
This big quantity of wheat was deliV
cred to Bartlett, Patten & Co. by the
Armour Grain company, Peavey-Hu-
bird-Warren, Lowitz & Co. and Others
1t was mostly wheat of the hard var.
ETY., as No. 2 red winter is scarce ar.
tiele and commands a premium Of IS
to 90 cents over the May price, and
naturally would not be delivered on
contract.
This is only the start of the delivery
on May contracts, and more wheat can
be passed around by those who have it
to deliver any morning or afternoon
during the month.
Instead of the heavy delivery Of
wheat on May contracts being bear
feature is is helpful to buyers, because
it properly passes into the hands Of 3
concern which will proceed to merchan'
disc it and ship it out of Chicago
AS for the bears who were going to
bury Patten with millions of bushels Of
wheat when May 1 arrived, they have
either crawled into their caves OF are
buried beneath the snowdrifts in tho
northwest, it is declared.
