Elk Garden, w Va, April %
Twenty.three miners were entombed
in OFT mine No. 20 of the Davis Coal
and Coke company, near here, by an
explosion that wrecked the mine.
There is not believed to be one
chance in a thousand that any one
of the men is still alive. AS tons Of
debris are blocking the way, 1t is not
expected that most of the victims viii
be reached before tonight One body
has been recovered.
Cause Is Unknown,
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined. Those in the mine
are:
John Pritchard. Arthur Pritchard,
Tamor Runion, James Brown, John
r. Wilson, Roy Wilson, Lester Wilson,
William Pugh. Hawthorne Patton,
Thomas Wilson, Geet White, William
parson. John White. William Shears,
Harry Tannum, James Dempsey l.. o.
Dempsey. Edward Hershberger, Thorn
as Yost. Charles Wilson, William
Hetzel, William Busky and one UNI
known.
All but Busky are Americans. That
the disaster was not even more dread
full is due to the fact that digging OF
coal had been suspended temporarily
and a reduced force was cleaning the
workings.
Whether the explosion was due to
gas or dust will not be known until
complete investigation has been
made.
Rescue Parties Are Blocked
As soon as the accident occurred
Superintendent Grant organized res
cue corps and entered the mine, after
notifying officials Of the company at
the head offices in Cumberland, Md.
The rescue parties had not adj
vanced far into the workings before
they discovered the obstruction.
II then was decided to effect an en-
| trance nearer the probable point OF
the explosion by cutting through the
wall of an adjoining mine owned b.
the same company.
The rescuers have penetrated to the
( No. 20 mine at a point about 4,OOC
/ feet from the outside entry. There
! still remained about the same dis
! lance to go before reaching the
/ buried miners
/ The OFT mine No. 90 is almost di
rectly under the town of Elk Garden

mine is about half a mile from the
town, down the hill.

The following story Of the shooting
for which Mrs. Frances Sarratt is held
by the Cherokee county authorities
is taken from yesterdays issue OF me
Gaffney Ledger:
News reached this city Sunday
morning from Blacksburg to the effect
that a. killing had taken place near
there On the plantation of a man nam
ed Mack Byars. The coroner, accom-
panied by Sheriff Thomas, Deputy
Sterifs Henry Lockhart and Joe Wat
kins, and large number of the Gu
rious, went to the scene, which is
about thirteen miles frorl Carney and
three miles from Blackburg, and
found there that white woman, Mrs.
Frances Sarratt, wife o. Ira Sarratt,
had shot and killed 2-year-old negro
baby, Ruth Duncan, the daughter OF
LII Duncan, early Sunday morning. At
the inquest, which was at once held,
it was found that the shooting took
place some time between 1 and 2
o'clock on Sunday morning and oc-
Cured in the road before Mack Byar's
home. Mack Byars is a brother OF the
woman who did the shooting.
The entire affair seems to be hard
to get Strengthened out, as several
parties figure in the testimony. 1t
seems from the testimony given at the
inquest, that the killing OF the baby
was more or>less an accident, as the
white woman was shooting at the neg
70 woman and the shot took effect in
the baby, who was being held in the
negro woman's arms at the time of
the shooting. The weapon used was
a double-barrelled shot gun. Several
eye-witnesses saw the shooting and
as the moon was shining at the time
they had no hesitancy in swearing as
to the identity of the woman who fr-
ed the shot.
The testimony of the Duncan worl-
an, mother Of the dead child, was to
the effect thhat Ira Sarratt and Pete
Byars, two white men, husband and
brother of Mrs. Sarratt, had been at
her home in the early part of the
evening the shooting took place. They
had later left her house, accompanied
by her, and had gone to Blacksburg in
buggies, returning from that trip in
the night, after sun down. According
to her testimony she had been to her
mothers home and was returning to
her own home, in company with an
other negro woman, when the affair
took place. It was stated by her that
when she came to the cross roads.
Mrs. Sarratt came running towards
her with a gun. She saw her ap-
preaching and shifted her child to the
left arm in an endeavor to get it out
Of the range of the gun, but just as
she did so the shot was fired, taking
effect in the child's head and side.
Death was almost instantaneous. It
would seem that the trouble arose out
of the ride which the negro woman
and the white men had taken together
on that evening.
The coroner's jury returned YER
dict that the child came to its death by
a gun shot wound, instrument in the
hands Of Mrs. Frances Sarratt. A dill
gent search was Instituted by the sher-
if and his deputies for the woman on
Sunday, lasting until late hour Sun
day night, but without result
