Miner Killed When
Dynamite Explodes

WILLIAMSON, W. Va, Jan. 4
George Hayes, a miner, WAS killed by
the premature explosion of dynamite
near the boarding house of the Chrystal
Book Mining Company, at Gates, near
here, last night. Mystery surrounds
the presence of Hayes at that place at
the time of the explosion, and civil and
military authorities are investigating.
Officials of the union in charge of the
strike also were inquiring into the cir
cumstances attending the death of
Hayes.
j. NJ Tully. general superintendent of
the Chrystal Block Mines, said threats
had been made to dynamite a boarding
house of the miners near Gates, and re-
quests had been made to place guards
around the house last Sunday He did
not take the threat seriously. The ex-
plosion occurred within thirty-five feet
of the company boarding house. Tully
has decided to guard the property.
Reports received by the authorities
indicated that the man had crossed Tug
River in a boat and that in climbing a
fence between the river and the mine
property he stumbled and fell, with the
result that the dynamite exploded.

ton was perfected on the same
division.
Two years ago, the combined anti
Non nPartisan League vote was only
thirty three, while four years ago
only twentynine votes were mustered
against the Non Partsans.
The Non Partisan Leagues majority

termined the success Of coalitionists in
electing Twichell that the Non-partisan
faction gave up hope of regaining
ground they lost in the election last
November. One man elected in opposi-
ton to the Non-P Partisan League quit
the coalition caucus last night, but he
stood by the caucus choice for Speaker
to-day.
At the outset of the session it is
apparent that the Non-Partisan League
