Workers Remove Bodies Found
at Noon Over Rough and
Dangerous Trail
TRAIN KILLS ELECTRICIAN
Three-FourthS of 55 Miles of the
Workings Explored by
Rescue Party
Associated Press

STARKVILLE, Colo. Oct 12.-The
situation at the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company mine here tonight may
be summarized as follows:
Bodies buried and in morgue, IA;
bodies located in the mine, s; bodies
missing, 80.
ee-fourths of the ffty-five miles
of Slopes, cross-cuts and entries eX-
plored by rescue parties.
Tonight the workers are devoting
their energies to the removal of the
eight bodies located at noon. Their
task is made doubly hard by the con-
dition of the bodies, and the 500 feet
of rough and dangerous trail over
which they must be carried to the
death cars. Those not needed in the
work are pushing their way to the L
entries, where fifteen men are believed
to be entombed.
Fred Foster, an electrician of wal
senburg, was struck by a Santa Fe
train and killed after coming out of
the mine with his shift today. He Is
reported to have been engaged to
marry a Trinidad girl a few months
hence.
Nearly half a hundred rescuers
pushed through the main entrances
and cross-cutS, exploring all slde
chambers, and just before relief ar
rived came upon the bodies of Wtlbert
Headquist, Thomas Upperdine and one
unidentified man in HI.
EXPLORE OLD WORKINGS
After receiving reports from the
night men, officials expressed the
opinion that before nightfall rescuers
would be able to penetrate the unex-
plored workings and locate the re-
mainder of the missing.
Although encountering many falls
and distractions the force succeeded
in exploring a large portion of the old
workings and by devious ways came to
within a few hundred feet of the
masonry wall which shuts off the En-
gleVille mine. No trouble was eX-
perienced with the air, the only delay
coming from the mass of rocks and
shattered timbers which in places often
almost filled the passageways.
Every energy is being directed to
the speedy removal of the bodies.
Evidences discovered strengthen the
officials in the belief that the eXplo-
sion occurred in the old workings, from
which it Travelled in all directions, pen
etrated every corner of the mine and
that the men were killed by its force
rather than by afterdamp.
News of the promised early discovery
of the remaining victims caused slight
commotion in camp, survivors being
content to wait the transfer to the
morgue. The mountain sides around
the portal were practically deserted.

For a Halloween Party.

It is doubtful if any festival of the year offers better opportunity for orig inal frolcsome parties than Hsllow- cen Appropriate decorations are easily made with tack-o'-lanterns. autumn leaves, strings of ears of corn or such ghostiy emblems as black cats and sii- houette witches mounted on broom sticks.
 The refreshment problem Is solved with equal ease. Sweet sirupy cider. plenty of apples. nuts to roast and nuts to crack. not to mention a painful of crisp doughnuts, and. to top all oil. a batch of savory pumpkin pies-these are only some of the edibles which at once suggest themselves.
 As for games to play. they, too, have been set by custom to certain extent. You may bob for apples in a tub of water, you may pop corn, you may do any one of dozen things which your parents will be sure to remember about If they have ever taken part in Halloween celebrations.

 The best conditions for success in the arid regions is one where a small acreage on each farm can be irrigated and intensely cultivated and where a variety of crops, especially those consumed on the farm and in the home. can be raised. This small area. even if no more than a good sized garden patch. is the citadel of the home. It provides potatoes and other vegetables for use during the winter. and possibly some alfalfa or other forage for the family COW. It in'sures the nermanence of the family. Outside of this area there may be a hundred or several hundred acres un- der cultivation by arid agriculture without the artificial application of water. This larger tract of dry land may yied a generous living. alter nhte portions being cropped each year with reasonable success and with reasonable success and with oc- casional bumper crops There on the dry land is where the larger profits may be made with a relatively small investment It is this combination of irrogatet land with larger areas of dry lands on which there ic an intel igent application of dry farming principles which has enabled hund- reds Of farmers to succeed while thefr neighbors. depending upon one crop and trying to utilize all of the dry land every year. hSve failed miserabiy.
