HUNDRED MINERS
DOOMED TO DIE
HOPE ALMOST ABANDONED FOR
RESCUE OF ENTOMBED
WORKERS.

Special to The Herald.
TRINIDAD, Colo, April 28.-Hope
of rescuing the more than one hun
dred miners entrapped in the Has
tings mine, has been almost aban-
doned. The miners are entombed in
the Hastings mine of the Victor Amer
ican Fuel company, near Ludlow, over
1000 feet below the surface. Efforts
of the rescuers, who penetrated 1000
feet into the workings of the mine,
were rendered vain by the intense
heat So great was the heat that it
was impossible to make any further
advances and there is now seemingly
no hope that any of the entombed men
can be gotten out before they perish.

GREAT DEMAND
Fer SEED CORN
PROBABLY 1900 BUSHELS OF IT
HAS BEEN SOLD FROM
THE COUNTY,.

Paymaster seed corn is still in great
demand. Shortly after noon today
Prof. Farris, the county agent, re-
ceived a telegram from Murfreesboro
asking him how much Of Paymaster
corn Maury county could furnish and
the price asked. Prof. Farris located
a small amount in the hands Of Mr..
Mayberry, at Sawdust, which he di-
rected be shipped to Murfreesboro. In
spite of the big increase in the price
OF corn, Mr.. Mayberry priced this at
the figure at which it has been selling
all the season. Mr.. Farris estimates
that not less than 1,500 bushels OF
Paymaster seed corn has been sold in
the county.

saturdays Daily.)

II Maury county farmers could get
within the next day or two an abun-
dance of rain they would be pretty
well satisfied with conditions. Oats
are needing rain badly and pastures
are very far behind the usual condi-
ton at this time of the year because
Of the lack of moisture following the
plethora of rain that fell during the
early spring.
1t is estimated by farmers compe-
tent to judge from all sections of the
county that already more than nor
nal corn crop has been planted in
Maury county. Not near, probably
not over sixty-five per cent Of the
acreage that will be planted, has been
planted. This means that the normal
acreage will be increased fifty per
cent this year. This is, from inquir-
les, made all over the county, very
conservative estimate. 1t may be
even larger.
The reason for the increase Is not
hard to find. The wheat crop is al
most hundred per cent failure. Less
wheat will be grown in this county
this year than it has produced since
the forest primeval was cleared. In
fact, very few wheat fields will be cut.
Nine-tenths of the acreage sown to
wheat last fall is being sown to oats
or planted in corn. The latter crop
is king. 1t is going to be practically
The one crop of the county
The hay situation is going to cause
he farmers worry The clover and
grasses were badly killed out during
the severe winter and farmers this
year must depend on peas and beans
and crab grass and corn stover for
roughness. The high price of beans
and peas makes the seed for those
crops almost prohibitive and will cut
down the acreage.

When DR.. Bishop spoke at that place

by the edition of The Herald issued
by that organization on Monday. The

Purchasing the Thomas planning
mill on East Seventh street, the big
mule and horse Arm of R. F. Moore
g. Son is preparing to erect one OF the
most modern and large feeding and
.uction and sale barns in the entire
south. There are nearly two acres
of land in the property purchased and
the building on it is about 2OOx250
feet.
The large building already on this
property, with few changes, can be
made one of the most complete auc-
ton and horse and mule feeding barns
in the county. In the center Of it and
on the main floor will be erected the
most complete auction ring in this
mart of the South. 1t will have every
facility and every possible convent
ence. 1t will be admirably lighted and
perfectly ventilated SO that 1t will be
comfortable both in the hottest and in
the coldest weather.
Additions will be made to the build
ing until practically the entire two
acres of land purchased will be COW
cred with barns. It's capacity will be
several hundred of both horses and
mules. There will be separate COM
partment for handling nothing but
horses. The firm expects to make the
buying and selling of horses one OF
the big features of it's business.
The present establishment on the
north side of Seventh street, will also
be operated and by removing the auc-
ton ring from the rear will be made
to accommodate much larger num-
Der of horses and mules.
Work on the changes and improve
ments will begin at once and long be-
fore the mule season begins again In
earnest in the fall everything will be
in complete readiness for occupying
the building.
This is one of the biggest mule con-
Germs in the country, its business last
year aggregating million OF dollars,
and it has grown so rapidly that larger
quarters are absolutely necessary to
take care of the increased business.
