Sixteen Men Who Lost Lives in Elk
plosion Identified by Relatives
When Brought Up.
TO INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE.
State Mine Officials Will Probe Rea-
sons for the Disaster Wich
Brought Fatalities.

BELLE VALLEY. O., May lS.-
burned and blackened, the bodies Of
eighteen miners who lost their lives
early last evening as the result OF an
explosion of fire damp which partly
wrecked the Imperial mine, were
brought to the surface today by res
cuers.
Attempts were made to enter the
mine last night. but the gas did not
allow the rescuers to reach the bod
les until after daylight this morn
ing.
AS each body was brought to the
surface it was identified. Nearly
all the one thousand inhabitants OF
Belle Valley stood for hours watch
ing the work of the reseuers. The
grief of relatives was pitiable.
The bodies were found mile and
a half from the mouth of the mine
They were lying on their faces and
We're badly burned.
An investigation into the cause OF
the mine explosion will be started
tomorrow by the officials of the state
mining department. The Imperial
mine is owned by the O'Gara Mining
Company. which is composed princi-
pally of Cleveland stockholders.
Henry Fairhurst. a member of the
flrst rescue party to enter the mine
last night, was overcome by gas and
died soon after being brought to the
surface,
Fairhurst and his party found the
body of Roy Yader soon after enter
Ing the mine. Fairhurst went ahead
10 clear passageway for the cart in
which the body was placed and was
overcome by the gas. The other
members made their way out of the
mine as soon as possible after the fa-
tality to their leader, taking. his
body along with them.
Yader was discovered to be alive.
He had been thrown 800 feet by the
explosion. He attributed his escape
TO the fact that his thigh was brok-
en- aud he had to lie on the ground
and was prevented from rising, thus
avoiding the deadly poisoned air.
