EIuded Guards in Hotel Where
Kept Over Sunday
TRANSOM WAS TORN OUT
Disappearance of Harry Waldron Likely
to Result in Mistrial of DR.. D. Clark
Hyde, Charged with Murder of
Col. Thomas II. Swope.

Kansas City, NO., Dec Hilary
Waldron, a juror in the trial of DR.. D:
Clark Hyde for the murder of Colonel
Thomas H. Swope, has disappeared, and
the trial has been held up in consequence
of that fact. The jury were placed in
a hotel for over Sunday and were guard
ed by deputies to make sure that there
was no interference. When the other
jurymen appeared this morning, Juror
Waldron was missing, An investigation
revealed that the transom had been torn
from his door, and the juryman had
gone. 1t is possible that mistrial or
the case may result from his disappear
ance.
The jurors disappearance perhaps un-
did the work of weeks of court proceed
ings. A force of deputies is searching
for Waldron. Domestic trouble is said
to have caused Waldron to grow rest
less under his confinement as a juror

Terrible Scenes About Entrance
to Mine Of Death
BELIEVED MEN ARE DEAD
Work of Digging into Refuse Which Clogs
Cross Mountain Mine at Briceville,
Tenn, Was Kept Up To-day,
Though Hope Was Gone.

Briceyille, Tenn, Dec ll.--With six.
teen bodies recovered, the rescue parties
to-day renewed digging in an attempt
to force the Cross Mountain coal mine
to give up its dead. 1t is believed that
large proportion of the more than
one hundred victims will be found to-
day All hope OF rescuing any of the
men, who went TO their toll there Sat.
urday morning, has been abandoned,
The rescuers have forced their way
three miles into the mountain.
Weeping wives, who had been made
widows by the blast of dust, came to
the shaft entrance in scores this morn
ing, prepared to meet their dead A ter
rible pail of sorrow exists about the
entrance. That condition existed yester-
day also, with single exception. That
was when Rev. Il. NJ Ritehie, pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church. for two
hours exhorted thousands within the
hearing of his powerful voice TO accept
the disaster of Saturday as warning
and prepare to meet death The min
ster appealed to his hearers in behalf
OF their souls salvation and declared
again and again that God has sent this
visitation OF His providence upon the
community as a demonstration Of the
certainty of death and the ever uncer-
tainty OF life. The minister suspended
the discourse at intervals and burst into
songs, in which hundreds joined Pray
erful supplications also characterized the
iBipromptu services.
Ten thousand morbidly curious per-
sons hocked into Briceville yesterday
and crowded about the main entry Of
the mine. They saw nothing but the
ptiable grief of the stricken families.
There is hardly a family in the en-
tire Coal creek valley that has not felt
the touch of death. The problem Of
caring for the widows and orphans will
be a grave one, requiring immediate solu.
ton Certainly Briceyille will be un-
able to care for her living with most
OF her wage earners numbered among
the dead.
It has been impossible to get any
authentic figures on the exact number
OF men in the mine when the explosion
occurred Mine officers have given out
no statements and II has been mpos-
sible to get any check on the men who
went to work Saturday morning.
George P Chanier, president Of the
Tennessee Coal company, is in charge Of
the relief work lie divided the men
into gangs Of 80 and set each shift
into the workings for two hours. Strain-
ing on the ropes that keep the throng
back from the mine opening, the rela-
tives Of victims anxiously awaited some
word within the yawning mouth Of the
death trap. The situation became more
tense as each ear Of debris was brought
to the surface, for its driver might bring
some word or with the debris might
be a body of some loved one A special
train yesterday brought another horror
to the little town in the shape of IT'S
cofiins which were piled near the mouth
Of the mine silently waiting the as
signment that each is sure to receive.

CLEANED:
Rev ]. Hall Long was pastor of a
church in this village for some time up
to the spring of 1905. He then moved
away and has not been here since, He
had nothing whatever to do with the
Bethel DeBoer resolution and never

WHITEH0RSE
 EXCURSION

Excursion Agent Cash. of the White Pass has informed the Alaskan that there will be a special excursion rate from Whiteborse and CarUoss on Saturday with a Sunday lay-over Prt yIege an. return on the following Monday
 This excursion rate of five dollars for the round trip is made to give the people of those places an oppor- muity to witness the prfomances of the Sherman-Cleveland Opera Com pany which will be showing in skas- way at that time. This is done iu view of the fact that there is not a suitable hall in Whitehorse or Car cross for the proper production of the plays which the company Is putting on.
 These excursion tickets will be good on the regular Saturday south bound train and on the regular North bound train on Monday and on no others
