Then Meekins slipped into the
scant forest of birch and poplar
and his shadow was soon merged
with its gloom.
GRAY went back to his shack

the storehouse of his mind stalked
forth grim entanglements. One
time he was lying helpless while
Meekins, with sardonic delibera-

he was throwing shower of silver
coins to a rabble of starvelings.
All night his dreams, with chame-
leon like utilization, draped their
hideous forms in the drab of guilt.
Yes, all night he dreamed; for at
dawn with a mighty effort he
swept aside the avalanche of bank
notes that, a foot deep, were
smothering him, and sprang to the
floor, his blanket still in his trem-
bling grasp.

Meekins spent the day and

twenty thousand he was to get
out of the deal.
1t was nearly ten o o'clock, and he
had just finished, to the minutest
detail, a description of a dairy
business he was going to start in

ACCIDENT IN Mine
o.
Explosion Kills -Four Score in.
Colorado CoIIieTy.
ONLY ONE ESCAPES DEATH
.CareIessness Alleged TO Have
Caused Accident.

Primero, Colo, Feb 2-The disaster
in the main mine of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company, which claimed the
lives of at least seyenty-nine men, was
caused by an explosion of fire damp
according to a survivor Of the catastro-
phe on Jan. %, 1907, in the same mine,
in which twenty-four lives were lost.
The same authority holds that the
explosion was caused by the ignition
of gas from flames originated prob
ably through carelessness of some
miner in direct violation of mine rules,
either through the cramping of a cap
for fuse, or the lighting of a match
surreptitiously carried into the work
ings.
Leonardo Virgen, a Mexican and the
only surviving miner, who is supposed
to have been working within COM
paratiyely short distance of the point
where the explosion originated, is IN
able to give a clear statement of what
actually occurred.
Immediately following the report a
column of dust and smoke poured out
OF the main entrance. Large pieces of
timber were hurled more than 100 feet
and so terrific was their force that
string of cars in the mines mouth was
blown off the track. The huge ven.
tilating fans were at once put in op.
Grafton and rescue parties were forced
into the gas filled workings.
Gavin Blocks the Entrance.
A huge cave-in at the mouth of the
main slope blocked entrance at that
point, but the rescuers followed the
main ventilating shaft for several hun
dred yards, gaining entrance to the
main slope through crosscut
When the relief party reached entry
AT, on the main slope, they found the
first evidence Of the destruction
wrought Here probably a dozen
bodies were encountered, but the res.
cuers pushed on in the hope of finding
signs of life. A little further on, near
the mouth of entry AS, the party
came across Leonardo Virgen. AS if
waking from a deep sleep Virgen
opened his eyes and said:
please, may I go home now?"
Virgen has sufficiently recovered to
join the watchers around the main en-
trance. The situation in the workings
continues unchanged. Relief work is
being pushed by frequent changes of
shifts, the rescuing party having
reached entry No. ia, about seven
eighths of a mile from the mouth.

that fifty have been removed

Drakesboro, KY, Feb. 3.-Heroic as
have been the efforts of scores of res

many hours before the Browder mine,
near this city, will yield up the bodies
of the last of the long list of men
whose lives were snuffed out in an
explosion.
Of the 100 men in the mine when the
disaster took place it is now practical
ly certain that more than a third per-
ished. Except for the twenty-five who,
many of them mangled and some fatal
ly hurt, were brought to the surface
within a few minutes after the con-
cussion, the relief workers have not
found sign of life
Through the night each lift of the
cage brought bodies to the top of the
ground, until thirty-three had been re-
covered. In the panic Of grief about
the mine shaft it was impossible to as

RAILROAD TO HUDSON BAY
Canadian Government to Begin Con
struction in the Spring.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 3-Canada will
begin the construction Of a railway to
Hudson bay next spring. This an
nouncement was made to parliament
by George P. Graham, minister of rail
ways. The road will be built as a gov
eminent work, but probably will be
operated by one of the existing private
corporations or by several jointly. It
is calculated that the route will be
available four months in the year and
that a great portion of the Western
Canadian wheat crop can be hauled
out each year at a saving of cents a
bushel in freight. The line is expect
ed to be opened for business in three
years.
