CONVICT CAUGHT
AFTER TWO YEARS
BARNEY MOUSSE ARRESTED THOMAS
BURKE AT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
IN VERY QUICK ORDER

f. F. Hellstrom,
Bismarck, N. d.
sm Have arrested Burke. Leave
over Northwestern tonight.
Mousse.
Bismarck, N. D., April S.-The
above message which was received
BY Warden Hellstrom of the state
penitentiary, tells the story of the
arrest of Thomas Burke, a former
inmate of that institution who es-
capped from there nearly two years
ago. At the time he made his
getaway the country side was
secured thoroughly and police and
officers all over the state and neigh
boring states notified. but no trace
of the fugitive could be discovered
and he dropped out of sight en-
tirely.
This week Barney Mousse. one
of the guards of the penitentiary,
left on No. 2 for the east to follow
up clue which had come to the
knowledge of the warden. In less
than forty-eight hours after Mousse.
had left Bismarck, he wired War
den Hellstrom that he had arrested
Burke in Chicago. This is con-
sidered fast work, especially when
one considers that Burke was not
under arrest in the windy city and
that Mousse had to make the ar
rest himself.
Thomas Burke, who is q white
man about 33 years of age, was
sent up from Ward county, Jan.
%, 1908, to serve an indeterminato
sentence of from two to three and
one-half years for burglary in the
third degree. He escaped from
the pen June 2, 1909, and at the
time of his dash for liberty had
only seven months and twenty
days left to serve. He will now
have to serve out the remainder of
this sentence and then stand trial
on a charge of breaking Jail.
Mousse will arrive with his prison
er some time today or tonight.

Whereas, the Federal government

Entire Working Force Believed to Have Perished
In Terrific Gas Explosion
MEMS WIVES TRY TO HURL THEMSELVES IN FIRE
Country for Miles Around Shaken and All Attempts at
Rescue are Frustrated by Deadly Fames Govern
ment Rushes Aid to Scene.

marlborough. KY, Dec. 9.-More
than $50 and probably two hundred
miners are entombed in the mine OF
the Knoxville Coal company at
Bryceville, several miles from this
place and across the Tennessee state
line. as the result of an explosion
that is believed to have been caused
by gas, which Is still issuing from the
mouth of the mine. All the men are
believed to have perished.
The explosion occurred at 1880
O'Clock this morning and rocked the
entire country for many miles
around. 1t is believed that the vic
tins are buried under tens of thou
sands of tons of debris, at least two
miles from the main entrance.
The interior is burning fiercely and
all attempts at rescue have met with
failure, the gas and fire driving the
rescuers back, after they had risked
their lives in an effort to enter the
death trap.
The explosion occurred only a few
moments after day shift had entered
the mine for their days work, and

hundreds of women and children,
wives and families of the victims,
Knowing the meaning of the explo-
sion. rushed to the entrance of the
burning entrance and frantically
fought with men and officers, in an
effort TO hurl themselves into the
deathpit with their husbands, broth
ers. sweethearts or fathers.
1t will be many hours before the
flames will have sufficiently burned
themselves out to permit rescue
party to enter the hole, and large
crowds of men are gathered about,
awaiting the first opportunity to make
a heroic dash into the mine, to save
any life that was spared by the dead
ly gas or fire.
The only hope that is held out for
the entombed men is that the explo-
sion may have caused some of the
walls to collapse and bottle them up
and prevent the deadly gas or flames
from reaching them. This of course

idence also tended to sustain the plea
of an alibi
Witnesses against the two strikers
were the two Greeks who were the
victims of the riot and a watchman
named Craig. The Greeks identified
johnson and the ident 'fication was
sustained by the watchman.
The testimony brought out the fact
that the two Greeks were attacked by
a number of men who stormed them
with rocks and also fired at them.
Johnson was accused of being the man
who fired at them and he was charg-
ed with assault and battery. When
attacked one of the Greeks fired sew
eral shots and on the stand in the
Justices court he declared he fired
into the air to frighten away his as
sailants but that he was unsuccessful
in frightening them.
