MORE TERRIBLE
MINE DISASTERS
Seventy-Five Killed at Primero, Col.

The mules were sealed in the under

Gus breaks in the walls of the main
runway to the west of the main shaft
on the second level. The work was
also extended to the south as far as
the air shaft, thus opening a passage
way between the two shafts of the
mine. 1t was at the edge of the air
shaft that the mans body was found.
He lay sprawled along the runway
with hands extended toward the es-
cape pit, as he had fallen in a futile at
tempt to reach safety on Nov. 10, at
the outbreak OF the fire.
Safety could not have been found
in the air shaft, however, for it "a
in this well that the hay blazed, caus.
ing flames to leap through the fan so
freely as to melt steel rivets. 1t
was discovered today that contrary to
expectations the third level, 500 feet
below the surface, is not full of wa
ter. A stone dropped down the ele-
vator shaft hit the top of the cage
that ran from the third level to the
second. AS this car now rests on the
bottom of the third level, the water
cannot be more than five feet deep,
probably less. Under these condi-
tons, with little present danger from
gases or fire, it is hoped to recover
the 1877 bodies from the mine this
week.
Pumps were installed to pump the
water from the bottom of the mine.

MAD NAN AT WALKER.
Sheriff and Posse Waiting for Him
to Surrender.

Walker.-Sheriff De Lury and a
heavily armed posse of II men sur.
rounded the home of Walter McDon-
aid, former saloon-keeper here, who
shot Howard Sexton in the lobby of
the Hotel Chase. Sexton Is reported
dying in the Walker hospital.
Mcdonald has been known as the
bully of Walker" He came here
some years ago from Idaho, where he
Dragged he had killed his man." He
ran a saloon until the closing order
issued by the Indian agent of the gov.
eminent, since which time he has
been doing little or nothing.
Mcdonald entered the Hotel Chase,
walked up to the counter, where the
day clerk, Howard Sexton, 20 years
old, was standing and demanded Of
him a drink. Sexton refused this and
words followed between the two. At
ter an extended exchange of words
Mcdonald walked from the hotel to
his home, one block away. He re
turned after a short interval.
Shoots Without a Word.
Walking up without a word, 1t is
said, to a position in front of Sexton
Mcdonald pulled the gun from his
belt and shot into the body of Sexton
i've times. Sexton fell to the floor,
probably MORALLY wounded and Nc.
Donald fed to his home.
A few minutes later Sheriff De
Lury arrived on the scene and de.
manded Of Mcdonald that he surrep.
der. The only answer was the SHOW
ing of a rife muzzle through one Of
the windows. Upon the sheriff ad
vancing toward the door Mcdonald
shouted that he would kill him II he
stepped another pace further, and
would kill any or all other men who
attempted to approach the shanty.

81 Dead at Drakesboro.

Drakesboro, Kentucky.-There were
t%hirty-four killed in the mine disaster
here with mine foreman Peter Kelley
still missing. Two of the injured may
die.
Within a few minutes after the ex.
plosion the fans had sucked the work
ing almost clean of deadly gases and
rescue parties were able to descend
and begin to dig through the w~reckage.
No fire followed the explosion and
the ventilating apparatus was unharm-
ed by the shock. The rescue party
found a scene Of destruction that left
no doubt as to the fate of the men.
The first bodies recovered were in
fairly good condition, the men, having
been smothered to death and not man
gled by the explosion. AS the party
pushed on they found bodies so mu-
tilated as to be unacceptable.
Foreman Among the Missing.
Peter Kelley, the missing foreman,
has been IN mine accidents before and
frequently had told his wife that
should an explosion occur where he
was at work he would escape some
how, either by rushing to the air-shaft
or to some safe part of the mine, and
the members of his family are still
hopeful that he has escaped the fate
of his men. The men officials, how
ever, fear that Kelley is dead.

So Bodies Recovered At Primero.

Primero, Colo, Feb. 3. - The i'm
mense force of the explosion in the
Primero coal mine, which exacted a
toll of rs lives Monday afternoon, was
shown as the explorers penetrated
deeper into the workings. Seven
more bodies were recovered, making
a total of 50, But 1t is extremely i'm

workings indicate that many of the
victims were literally blown to pieces.

jacketed lamps the miners carried are
probably all that will ever be found.
Shreds of human flesh with these
jagged bits Of lamps were found this
morning by explorers who approached
the spot where the explosion occurred.
Fresh air has been forced into the
workings a distance of nearly a mile.
The bodies have nearly all been taken
from entries Al. s and 10, all to the
left of the main slope, but no work
has yet been done in the entries to
the right Of the main air course,
where, it is believed, many lives were
lost.
Nature lent a shroud Of white to
the battered fragments of human be-
ings that were being carried to their
graves. A binding snowstorm, which
added to the difficulties of the rescu-
ers, is raging today about the little
camp.

Parade, Texas.-One of the greatest
disasters in the history of Mexican
coal mining took place in the Palau
mine at Las Esperanas, Mexico. The
toll of human life which paid the pen
atty of Negligence on the part of some
miner is officially placed at So, while
the list of injured numbers nearly as
many.
The explosion occurred in the No.
3 shaft of the mine of the E~speranas
Mining Company and is attributed to
the ignition Of gas from the flame of
a cigaret of a Mexican, who was smok-
ing contrary to the rules.
The miners, consisting principally
of Mexicans and Japanese, had gone
into the workings shortly after Z
O'Clock. At about $3.50 O'Clock those
working above ground were startled
by a loud explosion and almost in
stantly a vast cloud Of dust and smoke
issued from the shaft.
In the third level a terrible sight
met the eyes of the Scat
tered about in the working they
found the bodies of the men, suffocat-
ed, their faces indicating the bitter
fight they had waged to reach pure
air and safety without the workings.
Most of the killed were Mexicans.
State representatives have taken
charge of the work of rescue and in
vestigation. The mining company's
officials lost no time in making proyi-
sions for the injured. Food and mon
ey have been provided for the suffer
ing families. The company had best
equipped coal mines in Mexico.
Miners were provided with electric
lights and the mining officials are ut
terly at a loss to account for the pres
ence of mine damp in No. 3 working.
