4O0 MINERS MEET
 DEATH IN A FIRE

lack of volunteers. Flood, Lewis and others eagerly offered themselves and went down.
 The cage operated from below brought up the bodies of six miners. In a few minutes it again ascended, this time bringing up the rescuers. All were dead.
 By this time the fan forcing air down the mine collapsed. Then Gen eral Superintendent Steele saw the escape of the miners was blocked and ordered the shaft sealed to smother the fire.
 Wild Scenes in Town.
 In the town of Cherry the widest scenes followed. Homes and stores were abandoned and the entire popu- lation crowded about the burning mine.
 Every available physician from nearby towns was called upon to IIeaL Iut HNslcIlCdl WOHCh-
 The St. Paul mine is owned by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. It employees a thousand miners. The disaster is the worst in the history of the United States.
 Heroes Lost Lives.
 Great heroism was shown by off cials and residents of the town.
 Men outside the mine when the fire started rushed into the burning mine and twelve died trying to save their doomed fellow workers.
 Alexander Norberg gave his life unhesitatingly in a vain effort to save those who risked their lives with him. Standing at the bottom of the shaft, he carried the bodies of four men to the cage, the only way of escape. As the last man was laid on the cage he fell unconscious across a dead body. All his companions were also dead when the cage reached the top.
 Those who went to the pit with Norberg were John Bundy, Mine Superintendent John Flood and Isaac Lewis, merchants of Cherry, and Dom mick Fonent.
 Brave Mans Last Words.
 Dr. Howe tried to go down with them but Supt. Bundy pushed him back, saying ''We need you at the top if we get any out. There is nc use of risking your life down there. '
 Dr. Howe collapsed when Bundy and his companions were brought uI dead a few minutes later.
 Weeping women and children and helpless men about the shaft crowded around the few survivors who added to the terror by the declaration that those left down in the mine had not single chance. General Superin tendent Steele reluctantly corroborat ed this opinion.

Savored of Track.

The speech of Wiley E. Jones, who lives most of the time in Globe but claims Graham county as his resi- denee, savored strongly of the race track. Each campaign he likened to a heat in a race and he remarked that the Democrats had lost only two heats in 25 years. The last heat had been lost, he said, because of lack of system. The Republicans had learned the lesson of organization and had

STORM PARALLELS
THE CAR SERVICE

by the snow. The main trouble
came from wires of the tele-
phone companies that have been
placed on city light poles. The
telephone wires are old and weak
and the snow broke them off by
scores. They dropped down over
the city light wires and caused a
grounding of the circuit, and the
lights were shut off.
Not a circuit in the outlying
sections of the city was running
this morning. At least 100 wires
were reported down, and the
service was in bad shape.
All Night Tonight.
Electrician Lauzon got his men
to work promptly and soon had
part of the lights on. By noon
most of the trouble had been fix
ed, and by tonight everything will
be back in working order, accord
ing to reports at the city hall.
Some of the police were
dragged down by the heavy snow,
but most of the city's troubles
were caused by the telephone
wires falling over the light wires.
Melting snow on the high bluff
back of the Old Town mill caused
a big slide in the bank at 2
O'Clock this morning. Two cleo
trio light poles were toppled over
and police and fire alarm boxes
put out of order.

My, how he could preach! We had
two hours steady of preaching in
the morning, then an hour for

in the afternoon. McNeal was
a powerful preacher, that he was.
He'd take his text somewhere at
the beginning of the Bible, and
go on right through to the end.
He knew the Bible almost by
heart.
"And he was a doctor, too,
