gas could have caused the death of
Frank Hora, a coal miner. employed
here Hora's death occurred Janu-

Of the explosion.
Several days ago the officials de-

had the entry in the mine where the
accident occurred closed for 24O
hours. and when IL was opened
Wednesday afternoon IL was filled
with gas. Samples. OF the gas were
taken and sent 10 Columbus, where

soon as the lamp on his cap came
IN contact with the gas the eNplO-

IL will be remembered that IN
the day mentioned Frank Hora. a
