OF the central figures IN the struggle
and whom Colonel Roosevelt opposed
by his Endorsement of Senator Daven-

Many pathetic incidents of the fire
are coming to light. One is that of the
"a men who were imprisoned in the
Bullion mine tunnel, eight died. When
these men had abandoned hope of es-
cape they prepared to die manfully.
They changed shifts, so that some
might hold a blanket over the mine
hole while the others prayed and wrote
farewell messages on scraps of paper.
The letters written by the eight men
who succumbed will be sent to the per
sons to whom they are addressed. The
notes written by the survivors have
been returned to them.
