THE bodies of twenty-seVen

wyoming Coal Company. today lay
side by side in various undertaking
establishments in Mullens. this
county. where they were taken in a
special train after having been recov-

tomb.
The last body was brought to the
surface late last nlgnt 1ust as
T.. f. Morgan, arrived from Charles
ton. They had left the state capital
when news of the disaster reached
there.
Blast Cause Unknown.
Meantime an investigation was
being conducted by r. NJ. Lambfe.
chief of the state mining department,
but 1t was considered improbable
that the cause of the accumulation
of gas in the entry or how II became
ignited would ever be explained All
the men killed We're working in the
single entry where the explosion oc-
Cured and only the fact that the
mine was equipped with three sep
arate ventilating systems enabled
thirty-six miners in other headings
to escape.
In terms of human sorrow the fatal
blast meant that thirteen women to-
day are mourning the loss of hus-
bands and forty-two children were
fatherless because of the catastrophe.
Thirteen of those killed were single
and one widower with dependent
children. Not only the state COM
pensation will aid in the support of
the dependents. but most of the fam
lilies will benefit from insurance pol
icieS of $500 or more taken out by
the Raleigh Wyoming Company on
lives of all men who have been in its
employ three months or more.
Ship Bodies to Homes.
Preparations were under way to-
day to ship all the bodies away to the
mems homes as requested by their
relatives. and under these circum-
stances it was doubtful whether any
funeral services would be held here.
Coroner w. S. Thompson of Wyo-
ming county announced that an in
quest will be held Monday.
Gov. Morgan, who hurried here from
the capital yesterday, when he heard
of the explosion, was a spectator of
today's activities. but declined an in
vitation to go down in the mine. ex-
planning that he had no business
down there and would be only an
additional PRISON in the way
