Nh Hope Entertained for Men Buried by Explosions
 in Illinois Coal Workings.
pEsCUERS BRING
 OUT BODIES OF 27
uoro Than 300 Men at Work in Bowels of Earth When Explosion Oc. curs-Attempt to Quench
 Fire Fails.

Royalton, Ill.,, Oct. 27.-One hundred and six men of the 292 miners who were in the Franklin County Coal company's mine here this morning when the two explosions wrecked the main shaft, are still entombed, accord ing to the nearest estimate of the of fcials tonight.
 The mine is still burning and there ,s little hope that any of the 106 vii, survive. Twenty-seven bodies had been rescued up to g o'clock tonight One hundred and fifty-eight of the miners escaped between the first and second explosions, ill an interval of about 5 minutes. Many of these are badly burned, and in serious condi- ton from the effects of gas following the explosion.
 The cause of the explosion is not known. Ralph Mitchell of St. Louis president of the company, said tonight that as near as he could ascertain, the accident was caused by the ignition of gas in one of the west entries, and an investigation will start tomorrow.
 The men of the day shift had just started to work, but only twelve or fourteen had been let down as the explosion occurred.
 Those on the top say there was no warning. No jars or noise heralded the disaster and not until thin wreath of smoke, which gradually rose into cloud began to rise above the mines mouth, did they realize what was happening.
 Work of attempted rescue began al most as soon as the snake emerged from the mine. Fans were reversed and doctors and undertakers from all of the neighboring towns were sum- moned Eight mine rescue crews at Benton and Springfield and at Evans vile, Ind, were called.
 The state rescuers from Benton were the first to arrive and made an effort to get into the mine. They were successful only near the west entry, and there fifteen of the bodies which were brought to the surface were found huddled together, killed by the force of the explosion. Some of the others taken out had been over come by damp.
 Women and children gathered at the mine entrance. rendering the work o1 the rescuers difficult.
 A space around the entrance was roped off. and, as living and dead were brought out, they passed a line o1 wailing wives and widows from whose hearts hope fled when the news came the mine was burning.
 Water was poured into the shaft ir an effort to stop the flames. but il was futile, and it was reported tonight that sealing or flooding of the mine will be ordered tomorrow.
 The mine is mile from this tov'r and the explosion was heard here dis tinctly. Every one in town, except { woman telephone operator, hurried tt the scene.
 The explosion occurred in the north west corner of the mine, where from 100 to 300 men were working. Men ir tne southern part of the mine heart the explosion and hurried to the cages that took them to the surface.
 General Superintendent Mitchell said the 100 or more men in the lowe leVel doubtless had been overcome b! gas before it exploded and if they re salned consciousness, the fire that fol lowed the explosion would proven their escape.

| Paris, Oct 27-In laconic an- nouncement of less than twenty words the French war office tonight made known a gain by the allies which is weighty with significance. | After declaring that there is nothing to announce" the communique made | exception of some progress on our part in the region to the south of ! DiXmude."
 Taken in connection with unofficial details of the fighting in the inferno which 1t has come to be known as the balle of Flanders, publication of which Is not permissible until the l official announcement of the maneu- yer is made, the bare declaration Is of vasF importance.
 Since the fighting of Friday, the | battle which carried the Germans across the Yser in small detachments numbering from 1000 to 10000, the main effort of the Anglo Belgian forces. supported by the French, has been to cut through upon the left flank of the main body of the Ger. mans. The blows oi this great Tou- ton trip hammer were leveled at ] Dixmude and the region just north of that point.
 Today by supreme rally, the Bel gians and the French under orders from General Joffre to concentrate the force of their attack on this left flank position of the enemy, succeal- | ed in driving through and establish ing themselves in position to direct a deadly cross fire from the flank. which is calculated to relief the pres- sure against the allies positions, to the north.
 It would appear that the allies bv thus protruding their wedge-sha ped advance into the very maw of the enemy was committing stratigical error, but 1t has been the mystery of this battle, as of the battles proceed ing, that the great convex curves are remarkably flexible, and almost never break or are cut off by flanking. Be- sldesh even if these advance positions are reduced finally, the execution 1 they are able to do while occupying the advantageous ground thus gained Is ample repayment for the loss suf- fered in fighting strength and ma- iterial.
 At the extreme eastern end of the oattie front, the allies today reported another significant victory.
 German Line Breaks.
 Here, in the region south of Nans; the German line. which for six weeks has been stretched without yielding materially clear across France, has broken at last. The French official statement issued this afternoon says the invaders were driven back across the border on to German soil.

Naco, Oct. 27-Gen Benjamin Hill, commanding the Carranza garrison at Naco, Sonora, made formal demand today on Colonel Hatfield of the American border patrol to return Jose Islas, captain of the garrison, who killed fellow officer and Mexican private last night.

TO DECIDE p. MS. FATE
FUTILE TO SAY WHETHER ROAD
GOES UNDER HAMMER OR
GETS LEASE OF LIFE.

Whether the Pere Marquette rail
road will be able to renew it's long
fight for existence on an issue Of from
S4,000,000 to S12,000,000 receivers Ger.
tificate which the court holds must be
sold for par, or whether 1t will go under
for the last time and, at the expense of
the state of Michigan, suffer disintrega-
ton, is the question which United
States Judge Tuttle will be called upon
to decide following hearing which
starts in the district court Tuesday
morning at $3.50.
Receivers of the road have shown
that there is absolute necessity for the
issue of from S1O,000,0O0 to S12,000,000
in certificates to discharge old debts
and to otherwise rehabilite the line.
The court has determined that the
issue of certificates asked by the re-
ceivers must either be agreed to by the
first mortgage and underlying bond
holders as prior lien on the property so
that 100 cents on the dollar may be
raised or else they must submit to the
road being placed under the hammer. "

VOTE ON PROJECT MATTERS
Result To Date of Vote On
Lahontan Leasing And Derby
Fish Way Schemes.

Water users of the Lahontan Pro-
jeet have been asked in a circular
letter by Project Manager Cole to
vote on the question of building a
new fish ladder at the Derby diver
sion dam in the Truckee river.
The circular expresses the opinion
that the proposed wood ladder, to
cost $1,000, would be a good thing.
At the same time the letter says that
the fish are getting used to the
spawning beds below the dam and
will not again make SO much effort
to pass it, and also that after this
year only enough water for irriga-
ton purposes will be allowed to pass
the dam, so that it is doubtful
whether many Pyamid Lake trout
will pass the mouth of the river at
all in years to come. The farmers
are asked to choose between water
for irrigating and water for trout
when it can not be had for both pur-
poses.
Another proposal on which the
water users of the project are asked
to vote is the leasing of the power
plant at the conservation dam for q
ten-year period. A possible revenue
of 1000 to $4,000 per month is es-
timated. At present Fallon is using
sixty killowatts from the plant al
though entitled to 200 kilowatts, and
the plant is operating at a loss. 1t
has a capacity of 1000 kilowatts.
Owing to technicalities not being
observed a recent bid by the Nevada
Valleys Power Company was reject
ed, but new bids have been request
ed. The company proposed to
build long transmission line to the
mining camp of Rochester.
TIE votes received from the pro-
ject water users upon the two ques-
tions up to last evening were as fol-
lows: For the fshway, yes, Al;
no, 26. For the leasing of the La
hontan power, yes, Sc; no, IL.

CLEANUP DAYA SUCCESS HERE
The Movement Backed By The
Ladies of Draper Club
Results Beneficially

Cleanup Day in Fallon was a sue
cess, If judgment is based upon en-
thusiasm and results. Likewise, the
towns smallest ward, No. one,
eleansed itself most thoroughly un-
der the activity of its public spirited
citizens, whose energy was respons-
ible for the moving of eighteen wag-
on loads of dirt during Friday.
Ward No. Two managed to get Just
half as many loads hauled from with
| in 1t, or nine good wagon loads.
while Ward No. Three, the towns
largest and most populous subdivi-
sion slept upon its oars throughout
the day, but five wagonloads being
removed during Friday. This show
ing is due to the fact that a mis-
understanding occurred between
those presumed to be in authority,
no one person being particularly to
blame.
A resume of the day must bring
much credit to the ladies of the
Draper club, under whose auspices
the cleanup was inaugurated. They
worked fully as hard as the men to
achieve the results obtained. which
are not confined alone to the purging
process, but must be credited with
an educational lesson of great value
to us all. In the future Fallon will
have cleanup weeks, rather than
days, and there will be greater con-
cert among those entrusted with
cleanup tasks. The movement IL SO
highly laudable one that it must
not be allowed to die out or become
somnolescent.

MARVEL NOW OFFICIALLY DEAD
Deputy Sheriff Takes Possession
vi Seat of Spectacular Wild
cat Operations

The inglorious end that has Over
taken a multitude of wild cat min
ing camp promotions within Nevada
Is the portion of Marvel, an over
exploited district east of Fallon in
the Dixie valley. OF unholy con-
eeption, both Marvel and the men
behind 1t have come to grief and
with little formality. Put forward
less than a year ago as a town tribu-
tary to Alladin's cave; with wide
stretches of rich agricultural land
surrounding the civic center, a
bunch of Frenehmen from San Fran
cisco and elsewhere, thought to lure
the gold from investors back home
In Gay Paris. But alas and alack
1t was not to be so. for the folks
back home were wise in their gem
GRAFTON, which is one more than had
been put forward by Father Time,
when these gay promoters left home,
with the result that Marvel is i
miserable failure. Co-incidently,
there is a multitude of tradespeople
hereabouts who feel miCed over the
failure-the crouch varying In size
from few dollars to a good many.
The curtain was rung down on the
final act of this fiasco, with all of its
embellishments. including high
powered automobiles, flying ma
chimes and an aerial passenger and
mail service. last Friday when Dep
uty Sheriff c. N. Clark travelled
Marvelward in company with J. W.
Phelps, H. Kent and Harry Robin
son and served the ends of law and
justice by placing an attachment on
the Marvel townsite including ho-
tells. saloons, general stores, streets
and alleys and the advertised swing
ing garden. initiating a fresh Baby
lonian of mythology Not even the
white elephants In the Marvel city
park were sacred to this minion of
the law, and whatever was lacking
to make Marvel dead has been did
The last dash was added to the gen
eral compost and we are now author
lied TO officially announce that Mar
vel Is dead.
To be specific ] w. Phelps on be-
half OF himself and others and by
the instrumentality of the deputy
sheriff attached Marvel for about
$500 due from the promoters of the
failure. Whether there still re-
mains in Marvel materials of suf-
fieient value TO meet these demands
is a question. for Goldsmiths desert
ed village had nothing on Marvel.
