 He is familiar with the mines and with the construction of the St Pauls shafts and believed the cire caused the death of all the men before the opening had been sealed.
 About the little town of Cherry wild scenes followed. Stores and resi- dences were vacated and almost every person of the population of 5000 gath cred about the mine.
 From all directions all pedestrians hurried into the city from districts which had been notified by telephone. Tine shrieks of the women could be heard throughout the town.

 The physician vainly sought to re- suscitate the men when they were carried to hi:ii a few minutes later
 He said they had died of suffocation At the entrance of the smart a scene was enacted such as is seen only at a disaster of this kind. Hun daeds of screaming women, weeping children and frantic but helpless men crowded around the place. A few sur. vivors were surrounded Dy groups of the women and their answers to the loudly shrieked inquiries only added to the telnor of the women. Almost to a man they declared there was no hope for those left be- .'hind.
 Almost 200 of the men imprisoned, they declared, were in the third vein, the only entrance to which was from the second vein, almost 500 feet from the main shaft of the pit. Superin- tendent Steele reluctantly echoed the opinion of the miners.
 When the extent of the fire was re- alized the officials saw that ordinary measures were intellectual The fire had burned away the timbers of the shaft and the flames soon reached the escape shaft. A few minutes later the fan which supplied air to the shaft collapsed and tumbled through the opening.
 The flames then swept on to the mouth of the pit, where they were caIuied to the surface, forcing back those who ventured near. The off cials knew that fire must be eating it's way back into the shaft and then the herpic measure of sealing the mouth of tho pit was adopted.

There they might huddle together gasping what little oxygen remained in the sealing and burning mine and pray that the rescuers might reach them before it was exhausted.
 The most hopeful of those seeking to aid the prisoners doubt that more than a few score will be found alive when that aid comes.
 The only men to escape were those near the main shaft when the fire started. They declared that a care less miner had thrown torch on bundle of hay used for the mules stalls. tafsi

Lid Was Clamped on the Entrance to the Mine at Night to Shut Out Fire When

Origin of the Fire Was Trivial Hay Having Been Allowed to Shoulder Until it Lighted the Gases and the

Cherry, H.. Nov. 13-Officials of the St. Paul Coal Company mine where an explosion occurred today Say that 46o men are dead in tine mine, .-'~>-s-' Twelve bodies have been taken out Six of these were heroes, not em- ployed in the mine who gave their lives in futile effort to save the i'm prisoned workers.
 Mine Superintendent James Steele declared five hours after the explos- ion that it was almost impossible that any of the miners could escape. The mine has a day shift of more than 300 men. Of these fifty left the mine at noon. Twenty-Five are known to have escaped after the fire broke out. The others are believed to be dead.

 The fire causing the explosion, which may prove one of the greatest tragedies in the list of mine horrors, had an origin almost trivial A pile of hay allowed to shoulder too long, finally ignited the timbers of the mine and before workers realized their dan ger, the mine was filled with smoke gases and flames and all exit was impossible.

Cherry, Ill. Nov 13.--Eight bodies have been taken from the mine of the St. Paul Coal Company. where hun dreds are imprisoned and probably dead. The bodies were taken from the shaft while a fire was burning fiercely in the interior and smoke pouring in dense volumes from the mouth of the pit. They were put on cages and lifted to the surface by un- known heroes, who may have sacri- feed their lives in a vain effort to save them. Among the known dead are:

 The entrance to the mine has been boarded in an effort to check the flames raging in the interior. This has checked all hope of escape to the surface by the imprisoned miners. In the three veins of the mine, one three hundred feet below the surface, the miners are imprisoned and their only chace of life is to retreat to the ends of the veins, where enough air may exist to preserve their Hives until help comes.
