EIGHTEEN DEAD
IN MINE HORROR
EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE AND
GAS IN PENNSYLVANIA
MINE KILLS MEN.
FIVE REScUERS PERISH WHEN
SECOND EXPLOSION OCCURS.
Cause Of Accident Unknown But
Theory Is That Dynamite Explo-
sion Liberated Gas Which Was
Responsible for Second Blast.

Eighteen men were killed and two
seriously injured in a double explo-
sion in the East Brookside mine of
the Philadelphia & Reading Coal &
Iron company, near Tower City, Pa.
by a double explosion of what is be-
lieved TO have been dynamite and
gas.
Thirteen men died in the first ex-
plosion of what is believed to have
been dynamite and gas.
Thirteen men died in the first ex-
plosion and five went to their death
in the second blast after an heroic
attempt to rescue the first victims.
Ono of the rescuers escaped.
1t is not known exactly what caused
the explosions, but the miners at the
colliery are inclined to the belief that
the first explosion was that of dyna-
mite and the second was caused by
gas which had been liberated by the
dynamite explosion. The dead were
scattered about for distance OF
about a quarter of a mile. Only three
men were taken out alive and one %
these died on the way to the hospital.
The men were killed in three diff
ferent ways. Some of them were vic
lently hurled against the side of the
tunnel in which they were working
and crushed. Some were burned to
death by the explosion of gas ana
others were suffocated by the after
damp which always follows an expls-
sion in the mines.

RED -oLAKE As A SUMNER RE-
SORT.

The beauties of Red lake and it's
possibilities as a summer resort are
more in evidence this year than ever
before.
Last Sunday evening as the writer
stood upon the Gudem pavilion as
a vantage point and viewed the then
calm waters which glistened and
sparkled like a. jewel, while the set
ting of bluffy shores and fringe OF
trees with their beautiful foliage OF
emerald green still further enhanced
the scene, we came to the conclusion
that here almost at our very door, is
a beautiful sheet of water and that
we are only half awake to its beau
ties and possibilities.
Nature has done her part toward
making this a beauty spot. but there
is work to be done, work on the part
Of man to furnish the proper con
veniences and improvements before
this place can be enjoyed to the full
est extent.
1t almost seems that the awaken
ing has come, the summer cottage
and pavilion on the bluffs of the
