appearance of the body death had
occurred some hours before the car
struck it. David received a large
salary and had considerable money

BURY VICTIMS IN
One LONG CRAVE
Three Miners Found Alive In
Shaft at Amsterdam |

Amsterdam, o., April 25.-Twelve
OF the 15 men who lost their lives
In the explosion at the T. & o. mine
shaft were buried in army fashion,
being placed In plain caskets and
lowered into one long grave. Rev.
Huston and Rev. Sullivan officiated
at the grave. The three other bodies
were taken to Dillonvale for burial.
The death list, first reported as IS,
was reduced when rescuers found
three OF the entombed men alive far
back in the mine, where in some
miraculous manner they we're pro-
tected from the fatal gases. When
found they were all numb and the
first word each Of them uttered was
a pitiful cry for water. The rescusrs
gave them tea from their own buck
cts near by and they were hurried
to the surface snd later removed to
their homes.
Coroner Isaac Foster announced
that he will not hold an inquest until
some time this week, after the ex.
citement has died down. and he has
asked the aid of the state Inspector.
