MADMEN ROAM IN
MINE UNCAUGHT
Hope of Rescuing More of Those
Entombed at Briceville
Turns to Despair.

Briceville. Tenn. Dec 12.-Excepting
the expectancy Of catching two madmen
roaming in the workings, hope OF finding
more men alive in the Cross mountain
mine vanished again to-day. Two miners
driven mad from their predicament since
the explosion Saturday morning to-day
darted about the tunnels wildly scream
ing at the approach Of rescuers. Work
as they might, helmet men have failed
to capture them
Guided by marks on walls, rescuers took
up the clue of one party and followed
It through several entries only to lose IT.
The entombed men, evidently driven from
one place to another by altering air condi-
tions, wrote on the walls where they
were going, This trail has been lost
and II Is believed the writer's are dead
Thirtytive bodies have been taken out
and the rapid work of burial preparations
and funeral services went on all day.
The story OF the madmen. the writing on
the walls and the fact that Ave men
were found alive yesterday kept the
hopes of relatives of victims buoye,i
most Of to-day. When night came with
out further good tidngs, hope turned
to despair.
