one-half mile east OF here. has en-
trapped sixteen men, and with the con-
fagration growing in extent little hope
exists for rescuing them.

wiring in a room near the opening and
spread quickly. The mine is drift

possible only through the one opening.

ground, and smoke is pouring out in
volumes

nard Coal Company, of Evansville, Ind

BREAK ATTEMPTED
AT BURT BROTHERS
Thieves Smashed Rear Window but
Apparently Gave Up Effort to
Enter Buildinu.

An attempt was made during We'd
nesday night to burglarize the Burt
Brothers clothing store on Main street.
An entrance into the building was not
effected and it is believed that the
thieves became frightened and left
without causing any damage other
than the breaking OF large light Of
glass.
Judging from appearances, one of
the would-be thieves broke the glass
in the transom over the door in the
rear OF the store with a stone The
stone was APPARENTLY thrown through
the window from the alley in the rear
of the building as it was later found
upon the floor
After shattering the glass it would
appear that Cne OF the pair or more
climbed the door and picked out the
pieces Of glass from the transom
frame. With the glass removed it was
an easy matter to move bolt at the
ton OF the door This Is apparently as
far as the thieves progressed for the
'o~oe bar which held the door in ad
dition to the bolt was not moved.
