Is MINE RS KILLED
IN WYOMING BLAST
Score of Others Entombed
in Soft Coal Shaft
at SubIet.

HKemmerer, Wyo.-An official check
up of the number of miners and work
erS entombed in Sublet Mine No. 5
by an explosion shows that AZ men
were in-the mine at the time of the
blast. according t. officials of the
Kemmerer Coal company, owners of
the property.
AT late hour twelve miners had
come out alive and bodies of only
three dead had been recovered. Crews
equipped with gas masks are endeav-
oring to effect new rescues.
The dead are William Hood, Harry
Be nnett and Paul Bahem. All three
me N were married and, with the ex-
cebtion of Hood, all leave children.
Bahem had two small daughters and
Bennett a family of several partly
grown children.
Twelve Escape. Unframed From Mine.
The twelve who escaped alive were
unframed. They were caught Just
above the seventh level and a cave-in
of the retaining wall saved them from
0SoIh w 6OS anu LII
Another group of twelve was prob
ably instantly killed when the explo-
sion occurred, according to conjecture
by mine experts. The men were COM
Ing to the surface for the noon hour
when the blast wrecked the mine. It
is believed they were thrown to the
bottom Of the shaft and killed before
gases accumulated.
Rescue work proceeded slowly be-
cause Of roads made impossible by a
heavy downpour, which hampered
transportation facilities in bringing
i'd and rescue apparatus.
First Big Disaster in SubIet.
Despite the torrential rains, how
ever, the mouth of the mine was
choked with weeping wives and chill
dren, and relatives of the entombed
men.
A roar that reverberated throughout
the little mining camp nesting in the
mountains broke through the sound
of crashing thunder at II :45 o'clock,
bringing to Sublet the news of its first
great mining disaster. AS the sound
OF the terrific explosion died out resi-
dents of the little community of 500
persons rushed from their homes
through the binding rainstorm to the
mine shaft to claim their dead.
