Helena, Jan. 19.-~As result of an
explosion in the Heating mine at Rad
ersburg, 40 miles from here, six miners
are dead, two are badly injured and
there is an unconlirmed rumor that
two more men are somewhere in the
workings. The dead are Ed Ryan,
shift boss; Dan Ryan, his brother;
Dan Whyto, Percy Way, Louis Tucker
and Harry Abbott.
Pending an investigation, officials of
the Heating Gold Mining company said
that only the men named had been
killed and two others injured, that no
one below the 300-foot level was hurt
and that all of the bodies had been
recovered.
1t is thought that the powder maya
zine in the mine exploded. This maya.
zine, which was said to have contained
between 500 and 500 pounds of dyna.
mite, was on the 200-foot level.

First Hint of Trouble.
The first hint Of trouble in Bick-
ford's office was had before the PR.
mary election when charges were
made during the campaign in which
Bickford was defeated for renomina-
ton that there was some lax practice
In the methods Of handling state funds.
There was nothing thought of the
matter at that time, az 1t was sup
posed to be purely political charge.
When Olson was about to take charge
OF the office, however, the matter took
more serious turn, and he claims to
of no value whatever.
AS near as has been able to be
worked out from the various reports
of the shortage, Bickford has taken
state funds and placed them in his
bank at Bowbells to the amount Of
over 100000 more than the law allows.
1t is this money that he has been un-
able to raise.
Friends have been working hard to
get hold of the necessary cash and 1t
has been reported several times that
It was raised. and it is probably true
that there is a major portion of it in
