FIRE IN WEST KY,

Colored, Perish While Com
pressed Air Saves IL
(By Associated Press)

Darlington, KY, Nov. 17-Mine
rescue teams early succeeded ir
blanking the fire raging in the
Arnold coal mine near here today,
and made their way to the cham
Der where 10 imprisoned men
were huddled awaiting rescue.
They found five dead, three
white men and two negroes, and
l | negro miners. Of the survivors
three were able to mount the lad
der up the 95-foot narrow shaft to
the top. Eight were SO weak they
could not Immediately be taken
out and doctors and Red Cross
nurses descended and ministered
to them, awaiting the time when
the fire is extinguished, and they
will be able to take them around
to the main shaft four miles from
the scene of their imprisonment
A check showed one additional
negro missing He is believed to
be dead in remote portion of the
mine.
The dead are Leroy Carnes,
Hugh Mack Jenkins and Jack
Bond, all white; Alex James. and
George Andrews, negroes. The
lives of the II survivors were saw
ed by compressed air piped into
the mine.
At l o'clock this morning the
fire was reported under control so
far as its spreading toward the
mouth OF the mine was concerned.
This was done by means of ashes
tos curtains being erected. -.
Wallace Hines, negro driver,
who discovered the fire, escaped.
He collapsed from suffocation af-
ter making his way to. a place OF
safety and was unconscious for
half an hour. He could give no
clew as to the condition of those
he left in the mine, as they were
not near him at the time =. 3
The fire, which is, located three
miles from the mouth of the mine,
and mile and a half from the
shaft, is thought to have been
started by either defective wiring
in a nearby room or from an ov-
heated cable.
The opening of the shaft all af-
ternoon and tonight has been
belching forth column of heavy
black smoke, while families Of the
trapped miners, nearly all of
whom are married, look on help

Huguely has been spending several
weeks going over the deeds in the of

Maupin. He has made copious notes
OF the sale price of all land that has
been recorded during the year 1919.
If your land was bought as late as
1918, the price at which it was pur-
chased is compared with the sale
price in 1919 and note taken of the
buyer and seller. Then comparison is
made with his income tax report
for 1919, and in this way the govern

land owner and seller made proper
report of his profit made during the
yeal 1919. Income tax deputies went
over deed books all over Kentucky
and got their figures ready for the
drive, which started Monday.
