fired a shot lying face downward in
the mud and water, his forehead rest
ing on his left arm. He was taken to
his home where the scene was sad
and heart rendering. Mr.. Thompson
was 43 years of age and hard work
ing man and stands high in the COM
munity in which he lives. His death
has cast a cloud of sorrow to hover
over our little sister village of Wor-
land and a home left desolate and
drear. He leaves a wife and four
children to battle alone through this
vail of sorrow and tears. Besides
his family he leaves an aged mother,
8 brothers and 2 sisters to mourn
their loss. Funeral was preached al
the home by Rev. McRoberts, Of the
Christian Church at o'clock Sunday.
The remains were brought to Foster
for burial. His wife, being, in poor
health, was not able to follow the re.
mains to the last resting place. He
was buried Sunday evening by the
Odd Fellows lodge in which he was
a member, followed by large con,
course of sorrowing relatives ant

Mine Disaster.
Saturday night about 8 O'Clock the
New Home shaft burned to the
ground, caused by lamp exploding
in the engine room. Engineer Davis,
while in the boiler room looking after
the fire, heard an explosion in the
engine room, ran to ascertain what
the trouble was. On reaching the
engine room, he was forced back by
the flames Of the burning oil, not be-
ing able to get to the pump. He was
cut off from any means Of extinguish-
ing the fire. He ran out and gave
the alarm. By this time the fire was
rapidly burning away the engine and
boiler house, which soon spread to
the top house, and in a short time the
great structure was entirely consum-
ed. As the heavy timbers of the top
house burned and fell down the shaft,
volums of fire and smoke shot sky
ward hundreds of feet into the air, as
there was strong current Of air
passing through the mine, only added
to the fury of the flames. The tim.
