SEVEN MINERS BURIED
JOINT FUNERAL FOR OTHERS
KILLED AT HASTINGS.
Cause of Disaster Still Surrounded
With Mystery-Mine to Be In
spected in Every Part.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Hastings, Colo.-Funerals for seven
victims of the coal mine disaster on
Friday, April 81, we're held in Trini-
dad Monday afternoon. For the others,
| 1t is probable burial services for those
of each nationality will be held, and
great funeral for the entire list, at
tended by miners and their families
from over all the mining district.
The mine is to be inspected in every
part The disasters cause is sur
rounded with a cloak of mystery
seemingly as impenetrable as the
heavy wall of gaseous smoke the
searchers have been fighting against.
The manner in which. the men met
death is subject of talk today. Ply
sicians declare the belief that even
for those caught by the first terrific
blast of the explosion the end came
quickly and almost painlessly.
Carbon monoxide, or white damp,
the deadly fume of which the detect
ing lamps carried by each squad of
miners cannot locate in gaseous mines,
necessitating the carrying of canary
birds and mice to give warning of it's
presence, is said to have conquered
all those not killed by the explosion.
Many have been found as if fallen
into easy sleep. One was found on
his knees as if in the act of prayer.

foreign born, were present and gave
