Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 15.-More than
400 Welsh coal miners persisted, it Is
believed, from fire and afterdamp In
the Universal colliery near here j
A terrific explosion shattered the
works shortly. after 931 men had de-
seconded the pit. About 500 men
were brought to the surface alive by
rescue parties and the managers of
the mine then expressed the opinion
that there was no further hope for
those remaining below.
; The rescued miners, the members
Of the lifesaving gangs and the off
Gals of the mine declared that they
could hold out, no hope for those Of
the miners still below
The men brought to the surface
were found on the east side of the
mine, where the ventilation remained
fairly good. T., ..
On the west side, where the ex-
plosion occurred. fire: started and the
rescue parties were unable to make
any progress. u:
The officials of the mine found It
necessary to call a detachment OF po-
lice to keep back the women and chill

frances in hopes of obtaining some
news of their relatives. ~ ~.

A sman who had been working sixty
feet away had been decapitated by
the force of the blast. Rescue parties

The fiery reputation of the mine,
however, gave little hope that any Of

Why is Bemidji without truant

This is a question which, is often

Of Bemidji who are interested in the
work being done in our public
schools.
Il can see no reason why a truant
officer has not been named before
this" said a prominent business man
this morning. 81 understand that the
reason why one has not been named
is because of some petty Disagree
ment between the members of the
school board. 1t is a shame that we
have no officer to look after the lit

of school and run the risk of being
caught than to sit five hours a day

ANOTHER 10 MAN VERDICT
Jury in Pearl Marin Case Decides In
Favor Of Plaintiff Awarding Her
$3.50 For Property Damages
OTHERS WILL NOT BE TRIED

Three ten men veridcts have been
returned in civil actions tried before
Judge B. F. Wright, at the term OF
court which practically came to an
end today, the third being brought
In today when the jury in the Pearl
Marin case decided in favor Of the
plaintiff allowing her. $50 for dam
ages done to her property on Missis-
sippif avenue by grading.
Through their attorney Marshall
A. Spooner, four property owners Of
Mississippi avenue several weeks
ago filed damage suits against the
city because of injuries alleged to
have been caused by the grading Of
the street in front of their residences.
Because of the outcome Of the Marin
case the other cases will not be tried
but will in all probability be settled
out Of court.
The result of the case was graft
flying to Mayor William McCuaig,
and this afternoon he said.
II am indeed satisfied with the
outcome Of the case. The fact that
the complaint called for $1,000 and
the verdict was for only $3.50 is
pleasing
Judge . Wright completed his
charge to the Jury at six ao'clock
last evening. No agreement was ar
rived at during the night and at
noon today it was announced by the
foreman that ten of the jurymen had
arrived at a conclusion. He i'm
mediately received the verdict. P. J.
Russell, city attorney, represented the
city.
Several tax cases and court mat
tiers remain to be heard at this ses-
sion. Judge Wright and Court report
er Wyman will leave for their home
at Park Rapids tomorrow morning.
Judge Wright will probably return
to- Bemidji Wednesday morning.
