RANGE TRAGEDIES
THREE MEN KILLED IN CAVE-IN
AT MINE WHICH BURIED
SCORE OF WORKERS.
SIX MEET DEATHS OF VIOLENCE
Another Run Down by Train and One
Dies From Fall Off Bridge
Woman Fasses on Way to
Hospital.

Hibbing.-Four distinct and sep
arate tragedies, resulting in six
| deaths here, combined to cast a pail
of gloom over this city. A cave-in at
the Winston & Dear strippings of the
Buffalo & Susquehanna open-pit mine
| buried 19 men and resulted in the
death of three men; one man was
killed at the Butler strippings of the
Nassau mine; a blacksmith fell from
the Rush approach bridge and died at
the police station, and woman died
on her way to the hospital.
The cave-in at the Buffalo & Sus-
quehanna mine occurred shortly after
| 1O:3O p. m. The big bucket of the
steam shovel, being operated on the
southeast bank of the open-pit mine
was buried by small fall of earth
and sand, and three men were detailed
to dig his out. An hour and half
later another fall buried these men,
and two minutes later, while Shovel
Engineer Ed Edwards was trying to
pull out the buried men, 700 tons of
| loose sand crashed down from the 100
| iOOS Jain, OuAy iAS IhO lhCn WOl hlh5
| beneath.
| The men killed were those caught
under or against the body of the shov-
ell, while the IL men taken out only
| slightly hurt were swept aside by the
sand and only buried few feet. The
fall completely covered the southern
side of the shovel and the top of the
roof, but the stout steel inside sup
ports held off the weight of the fall
and none of the shovel men were bad
ly hurt
Immediately after the fall occurred,
the gangs working on the other four
shovels and dump crews in the open
| jured men. The fall of debris broke
| the steam pipe on the shovel and the
| wind blew out the lights, so that for
some time nothing but the roar of
| falling sand, the cries of the injured
men, and the hiss of escaping steam
could be heard.
Deputy Coroner E. G. Pengilly and
DR.. Isingman stayed at their posts
most of the night, aiding the injured.
The men killed by the cave-in were
Dan Kuntich, Powa Batta and Matt
Dragatovich.
In another accident Pasquale Mar
| celia was instantly killed by a dump
train at the Butler brother strippings
| of the Nassau mine.
John Savella, employed at the Oliver
general shops at blacksmith, fell off
the Rust approach bridge and died
later as a result of the shock and in
juries to the head. The man was
rushed to the police station, where

die in Minnesota Towns.

Winona.-Severa1 of the nearby sta

means of victimizing railroads. Two
men check three suitcases to the sta
tion and one of the young men calls
upon the baggageman with check
for one of the suitcases and laments
that he has lost the other two checks.
His description, however, is so accur-
ate that he is invariably permitted to
take them.
An hour or so later the other of the
pair calls upon the baggageman and
presents the two checks for the suit
cases. Failing to get them, he at once
claims $50 on each. Several baggage
men have been known to pay the dam
age or portion of it in order to avoid
trouble with the company.

Paris, France. - The art world was
thrown into CONSERVATION by the an
nouncement that Frances greatest art
treasure Leonardo Da Vinci's master
piece "Mona Lisa or as it is popular
ly known LA Joconde," had mysteri-
ously disappeared from the Louvre.
The famous painting hung in the
place of honor in the Salon Carre Not
vestige of clew was left by the
person or persons who took it to aid
the detectives and police in trying to
trace it. A search of every nook and
Granny of the Louvre only brought to
light the valuable frame in which the
picture hung and the glass that GOV.
cred it. These were intact on a back
staircase.
M. Caillaux, minister of justice, was
apprised of the disappearance Of
Mona Lisa" and after a hurried con-
ference with M. Lepine, the prefect
of Paris, M. Lepine set off for the
Louvre accompanied by M. Hamard,
chief of detectives. Reinforced by the
entire staff of detectives, they remain
ed until night industriously searching
the Louvre for the missing master
piece.
The most remarkable feature of the
case is that the picture appears to have
been taken without it's absence being
remarked for three days.
Last Seen by Masons.
Two masons who passed through the
Salon Carre say they saw Mona Lisa. y
An hour afterward an attendant says
he noticed the picture was missing, but
believed it had been removed by one
of the photographers who have the
privilege of taking pictures in the
Louvre.
Georges Benedite, acting conservator
of the Louvre, is inclined to believe
the removal of the painting the work
of practical joker, pointing out that
such a world-famous art treasure would
be white elephant in the hands of a
thief, as it would be utterly impossible
to dispose of it.
