THE LAsTeoF THE FAMILY.
Out of thirty-two members of three
generations Of this rural Kentucky
family, this one survives. At least
sixteen died Of consumption, all in
the same house. There was no mon
~ to give them adequate care. A
county tuberculosis hospital, which
could have cared for the first cases
and prevented the infection of the
others, might have saved several
lives In this one family.

New Castle, Colo. Dec. 17.-All but
nine Ut the thirty-sevon bodies had
been removed from the Vulcan mine
near here early today where every
person In, the main workings Of the
mine was killed Instantly Tuesday by
an explosion Of mine gas.
Nine bodies remain in the upper lift
above the west entry and In this man
ner all the bodies were accounted for.
One Of the rescuers, overcome with
fatigue which followed prolonged use
OF the oxygen helmet, fell in chamber
23west, but was taken out alive by his
fellow crewmen who were following
close behind in the exploration work.
They carried him to the air shaft,
where he was quickly revived and
taken to the surface.
Scores of relatives and friends OF
the victims stood in the snow at the
entrance watching the rescuers carry
out the bodies, one at a time.
The scene was unlike that OF most
mine disasters. in that there was not
the slightest hope that any Of those
caught In the terrific blast had sur.
vived. The chief desire OF those who
waited was that their loved ones
might be recognizable. In a majority
Of instances. even this hope met dis.

Virtually every one Of the dead min.
ers was born In Colorado.
All were Americans and many Of the
unmarried were sons OF ranchers and
had lived In the vicinity OF New Gas.
tie all their lives.
Sixteen Of the men were married.
In casting up the situation 1t was
found that fifteen women were left
widows and thirty.four children made
fatherless by the explosion. One Of the
victims became father at almost the
Identical moment that he was hurled
to his death by the blast. This one
was Herbert Woods, twenty.eight
years old.
The exact cause OF the explosion is
not known definitely but 1t is the opln.
lon OF the mine officials that the &C.
cumulated gas was set off by q min.
er's candle.
They went to work In the mine
after the union workers had struck.
The Vulcan mine, now owned by the
Rocky Mountain Fuel Company, has
always been known to be dangerous
on account Of the great quantity of gas
that forms in its workings. The men
employed there knew Of this danger.
The two meh In the upper level who
escaped injury were w. ]. Finley and
John Dawson. An air passage In their
part OF the mine prevented the gas
from forming there.
Since 1896. when forty.nine men
were killed In an accident much sim.
liar to that OF yesterday. the Vulcan
has been the dread OF all workers In
the coal region.
