POCAHONTAS IN TIE OLDEN
DAYS.

Speaking of the explosion, John
w. Owens, of Pocahontas, was one of
those put in charge of a number of
men engaged in the work of rescue.
1t was over 81 exewxzfiflffxzfflfffliffi
1t was over six weeks before the
men could be gotten out. The mines
were dommed up and water pumped
in to stop the fire. This all had to be
done, of course, before the rescue
work could begin. Owens says this
was the worst job he or any of
those men ever had, owing to the
stencil caused by the dead mules and
dead men, they having been dead
many days. None of the men could
stand it for over half an hour at
time and even then had to be pro-
tected by masks over their noses.
After the explosion there was n
fall later on which did much dam
age and hindered the work consider
ably. WILLIAM L. Moody was mine
foreman, William Jones assistant
foreman. AL. Coburn was driver boss,
Tom Brewer and William Smith
were fire bosses, Ed. Anaheim fore
man of the machine shops.
On the morning that the section
of the mines fell in "Bill" Moody
on his tour found the top working"
and warned all the men they had
better get out. Just prior to Moody's
arrival Albert Tabor and James
Tate, who did company work, went
in 3nd found the top beginning to
"work" in the section calleS "Jerusa-
lem." They hurried out to get pillars
in order to prevent fall, but while
they were out the crash came, bury
ing 10 mules, about rs mine cars,
and three or four men. Most of the
men had taken Moody's advice and
had gotten away. Tabor's half bro
ther Leonard Scott was in charge
of the mules when the fall came, but
the support seemed to be strong
where he was, and he managed to get
to the outside by crawling through
debris, mine cars, etc. When Scott
reached the outside of the mines he
was amazed beyond description to
find his mule on the outside. The
mule had gotten out first. 1t is not
known to this day how that mule
ever got out. Will Owens was killed
in the fall, and another man. Abe
Bouth, track cleaner, was caught in
the rubbish but not killed He was
hemmed in, and hardly expected to
be rescued but Bill Moody in passing
through got "next" to him in pecu-
liar manner. Moody's lamp shone un-
der the mine door, on the water, anc
Abe gave the alarm. Moody succeed
ed in rescuing him. jim N.

WANT THE SCALP
OF POSTMASTER
Republicans File Bill of Particu-
lars Against A. B. Buchanan,
Charging Political Activity
and Inefficiency.

Inspector Hoback, of the Post Of
flee Department, has been here sew
eral days this week in connection
with the charges brought against
postmaster A. B. Buchanan by Re-
publicans in this town, asking for
his removal from office on the
grounds that he has been active po-
litically, has been instrumental in
paying poll taxes and other charges
as ridiculous and adsurb as those
mentioned.
Postmaster Buchanan's term Of
office does not expire for two years,
and this is the only method left by
which the Office can be obtained by
one of the faithful workers, and
the method that has obtained in the
postoflice politics of the country for
many years. Instances are on record
where charges have been preferred
against postmasters and their remo-
val effected without the postmaster's
knowledge of the charges, but in this
instance the inspector is permitting
the postmaster to refute the charg-
es and is virtually being faced by
his nccusers.
No charge of inefIicicncy can be
made and sustained against the ill
cumbent of the Tazcwell postoffice,
and no charge of undue political ac-
tivity will hold in court of Justice.
1t is puerile to charge that the post
master here has been inefficient.
There is not 81 patron of the office
who can truthfully say that the post
master has not conducted the Office
in an efficient manner, nor one who
can say that for service, accommo-
dation or courtesy to the patrons, the
town has ever had an official who
has been SO acceptable to the public
generally. 1t will be a great mis-
take for the postmaster's political
enemies to file charges of inefficiency
or any other charges in that connec-
tion, for it is pretty generally ru-
mored that the postmaster will be
given opportunity to file counter
charges. w.
