Wife's Dream Saved Him.

Wife's Dream Saved Him.
Briceville, Tenn, Dec. 9.-Hugh La
rue. a miner employed in the Cross
Mountain mine, in which there was an
explosion today, believes he owes his
life to a dream his wife had last night.
Wh:n he awoke this morning and pre-
pared to go to his daily task in the
mine, Mrs. Larue told him she would
not prepare dinner for him to carry
to the mines, as she did not want him
to work today. She then recited
dream she had, giving this as her rea-
son for asking that her husband stay
out of the mine.
Mrs. Larue said that last night she
dreamed she saw scores Of miners,
with their heads blown off, being car
! ried out of the mine entrance; that
she and her little children (and she
has saveraD stood at the mines mouth,
watching the horrible sight. Despite
the fact that he had not missed a day
from his work for many months, he
was prevailed upon today to remain
out Of the mines. 1t was only a short
time after Mrs. Larue told of her
dream until the explosion was
announced. With tears Of JOY stream
! ing down her face, she embraced her
husband and thanked God that she
had had the dream last night.
Mining Town Scene Of Sorrow.
Briceville, Tenn, Dec. 10.-Some-
where in the depths of the Cross Noun
tain coal mine probably one hundred
men lie dead tonight, while their sor-
row stricken families keep vigil at the
mouth of their tomb, hoping against
hope that their loved ones may be-
alive when rescuers reach them.
Eight torn and mangled bodies had
been brought forth at nightfall, when
search was abandoned for the day.
Outside of the immediate families Of
the entombed nrsn no one in this little
mountain village believes that any liv-
ing thing in the mine yesterday morn
ing survived the terrific explosion of
coal dust that wrecked the workings
Heroic Work of Rescuers.
For more than SO hours every sur
viving miner in this region had toiled
with no thought of food, sleep or pay
to remove the debris and force fresh
air into the innermost recesses of the
mine. They practically have penetrat-
ed to the main entry head nearly three
miles in. Toomrrow they expect to be
ready to work the cross entries, in
which the other bodies have undoubt-
edly been cast by the force of the blast.
Black damp developed today and re-
tarded progress, but the silent force
pushed dauntlesSly on, some of them
till they were carried out, overcome by
the noxious gases.
Thousands of the morbidly curious
focked into the village today and
crowded about the main entry of the
mine. They saw nothing because
there was nothing to see but the pitia-
bic grief of the stricken families.
Many Stricken Families.
All of the bodies recovered have been
identified. Among them was that of

Distress of Families.

Brlceville tonight is a house Of
mourning, as the fact has dawned up
on women and children that there is
scarcely the slightest ray of hope that
a. single miner lives in ill-fated Cross
Mountain mine. In scores of homes
the pitiful walls of women and chill
dren are heard by the passersby, while
at the mouth of the mine fully so wo-
men, some with babes at their breasts,
and others with children pulling al
their skirts, still battle bravely to keep
up spirits and hope against hope.
At 10 o'clock it had been definitely
determined that the number of men
at work in the ill-fated mine was be-
tween 1876 and 156. Little hope is en-
ter+ained that the entombed men can
be reached before Sunday morning.
and few there are who entertain the
slightest hope that there is a living
man among the entire number. The
bodies of the two miners recovered,
Lee Holston and Pearlie Rolen, show
that the force of the explosion must
have been terrific.
Work to Free Loved Ones.
In the rescue room fathers and
brothers Of men who were entombed
worked feverishly, refusing to leave
their posts even though urged by 9TH
ers, and although volunteers for the

Briceville, Tenn, Dec. 9.-BetWeen
126 and 1856 men, living or dead, is the
probable number of men entombed
here tonight in the Great Cross Noun
tain Coal Mine of the Knoxville Iron
company, as result Of today>s eA-
plosion, according to the count made
tonight by an official of the United
Mine Workers of America. They had
entered to begin the days work when
a terrific explosion wrecked the work
ings.
Three only have come out alive.
They had entered a lateral off the main
shaft and succeeded in getting into the
open before the flames and smoke
caught them. The body Of Lee Hol-
ston, operator of the mines fan plant.
was found buried and mangled under
the cave-in in the main shaft.
Rescue Work Slow.
Rescue workers are making scarce
ly any headway. The governments
rescue car and force is at hand, as are
many rescuers and engineers from all
over the district
The shafts extend more than two
miles into the bowels of the mountains.
According to President T. I. Stephen
son, of the Iron company, the men, If
they had reached their posts, were in
lateral shafts when the explosion,
which blocked the main shafts, occur
red. This encourages those on the sur
face to hope that many may be living.
Late this afternoon there was little
prospect of an early rescue. Workers
have encountered dense and compact
deposits of slate, earth, rock and coal
il the main shaft of the mine and alss
in an bandoned entry which has been
used for an air shaft.
Removing the Wreckage.
About the mouth of vertical ven
tilator, leading to the top of the noun
tain, fires have been built to create a
circulation Of air from within the mine.
if possible. Rescuers are engaged in
digging the debris from the shafts and
this must be removed about one mile
to the mouth of the mine
1t is not yet possible to determine
whether this blockading of the entry is
shallow, or whether it extends hun
dreds of feet, or mile or more. Wood
posts and trusses in the shaft have
been blown outward and this, miners
state, is Indicative of serious explo-
sion beyond. Brattices are now be-
ing constructed by means of which air
is being .forceu into the channel as
fast as it is possible to remove the
debris.
Cause Not Determined.
There are three theories as to the
cause of the explosion. One is that in
some manner powder or dust explod-
ed; the second is that an electric wire
came in contact with explosives, and
the third is that the explosion was
caused by poor tamping of a drill.
The mine was thoroughly inspected
Friday of last week by J. F. Hatmaker,
who has been inspector of the mine
for eight years. He remained in the
mine nearly all of Friday night. He
said there was no trace of gases
when he emerged.
