killed and two seriously injured in a
double explosion in the East Brook
side Mine of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company, near
here, 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 a heroic at
tempt to rescue the first victims. One
of the rescuers escaped.
Bodies Widely Scattered.
1t is not known exactly what caused
the explosions, but. the miners at the
Colliery are inclined to the belief that
the first one was of dynamite and the
second was caused by gas which had
been liberated by the dynamite ex-
plosion. The dead were scattered
about for about quarter of mile
Only three men were taken out alive
and one of these died on the way to
the hospital Superintendent John
LOrenz, 90 years old, tas in the mine

Lorenz has only a slight chance of
recovery.
superintendent Lorenz was found
crawling along the ground trying to
make his way through the debris to
safety.
All Near Explosion Dead.
1t is possible that the real story of
the explosion may never be told, as all
who were in position TO know we're
killed
Superintendent Lorenz was about
500 feet from the first explosion and
it is not thought that he knows the
cause.
When the rescuing force came upon
Superintendent LOrenz after a walk in
a circuitous route of about a mile
they found him barely able to crawl
Asked how he was, he replied
"Oh, | am pretty sore and tired, but
never mind me, go and help Jack
Farrell; he needs your help. Leave
me alone and take care of those who
need help more than do
The men were killed in three diff
ferent ways. Some of them were
hurled violently against the side of
the tunnel in which they were work
ing and crushed, some were burned to
death by the explosion of gas and
others were suffocated by the after
damp which always follows an ex-
plosion in the mine.

Some miscreant or other with AZ
idea Of taking revenge for some wrons
he believed he was the victim Of, en-
tered the factory Of the wet process ce-
ment plant In East Cedar Falls during
Monday night and broke several at
tachments on the engine and removed
several fixtures which could not be
found leaving the engine in useless
condition when found by the employees
Tuesday morning. The matter was in-
mediately taken up with Sheriff Shores
and the bloodhounds were hurried to
the scene and taking up scent they
followed across the field directly to the
home Of q citizen and from the house
they went to the barn and again re-
traced back to the house. where they
sat down on the porch evidently satis-
fed that they had accompanied their
mission. In the meantime the lady
Of the house sent . telephone call to
her husband apprising him Of what
was going on and he hastily left his
work at one Of the local gate fac
tories and upon his arrival 1t his home
became very indignant At the proceed
ings and ordered the officers and the
dogs to dispense at the same time
stoutly protesting his innocence Of
any wrong doing. After considerable
time spent in arguing the officers re-
turned to the factory where measure
ments were taken Of the footprints be-
lieved to have been made BY the guilty
party and also had photographs made
OF the finger marks made on differ
ent parts Of the engine which they hope
will be the means Of eventually land
ing the man.
