DARED NOT TELL
OF BODIES FOUND
Daring Explorers Fight Flames
in St. Pau! Mine-20 Corpses
Taken Out.

Cherry. H., Nov 1s.-For the first time
since the mine horror Of Saturday, bodies
Of some Of the 800 victims were located
to-day by daring explorers III the depths
Of the second gallery.
Twenty bodies We're found within 70 feet
Of the ventilating shaft. One body was
brought to the surface but it was I'M
recognizable. The temper OF the people
was feared. and an attempt to keep secret
tho finding OF the bodies was made.
Therefore that more than one victim had
been discovered was not generally known
at nightfall, and a plan was afoot to
attempt the removal Of the other bodies
from the mine late at night
The first descent into the ventla ting
shaft was made by J. W. Paul, George
II Rice and +. y. Williams in
temporary cage. They We're protected
against deadly gases by oxygen helmets.
The second was made by Mine Inspectors
Taylor and Moses. who brought UP tho
body. Taylor's plan of do or die attack
on the main shaft. where the temperature
is still around 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
was delayed by the expedition into the air
pit
we will do all we can at the air
shaft and then at any cost will de-
Fcend into the main pit" said Mr.
Taylor this evening. OF the horrors
which they encountered in the mine
gallery none OF the explorers would
speak. but their faces were pale ana
their ha nds trembled when they
emerged. This much was learned. the
bodies were scorched and swollen.
Death might have been due either to
gas or fame.
After the removal Of the body the
seal Of tho main shaft was broken.
and shortly the shaft was belching
out gases and smoke. Then helmet
armored mine experts descended in tho
shafts with leads Of hose prepared to
fight the burning coal in the second
gallery. If their effort is successful.
