werc leyeled, and Sheriff Doris esti-
mated the property loss at more than
$4,000, 900
Two National Guard units are in
control here. but the town has not
been placed under martial law.
Rivals War Scenes.
Dawn today in West Frankfort pre-
sented a picture of desolation that
rivaled the war-stricken portions of
France in the most hectic days of the
struggle. AS far as the eye could
see he landscape was huge irregu-
lar mass of twisted debris
1t was extremely difficult in many
instances at first to determine &C
curately details of the picture. Here
a whole house had been moved COM
pletely from its foundation, at an
other place a side had been ripped off,
while in other cases what had once
been homes were nothing but little
piles of twisted wreckage.
From the field north of the Orient
mine one of the towns chief sources
of livelihood, the dark outlines Of
rescue workers probing the debris
for bodies We're visible. Here and
there could be heard the pitiful cries
of injured, still pinned beneath the
wreckage.
One of the most pitiful sights that
greeted the rescue workers was that
of a mother lying, terribly mangled,
while a tiny infant, crying Justify,
crawled about her inert form.
Finds Wife in Debris.
At another home the body of
woman was found on the porch,
deep cash in the head. She appar
emily met her fate while endeavoring
10 fee from the fury of the storm. In
one instance a miner, still in his pit
clothes and carrying the limp form
of a five-year- child, walked de-
jectedly in the path of rescue work
ers to a pile of wreckage that until
yesterday constituted his home. In
the debris were found his wife and
another son. both terribly Injured.
The morgue was filled to overflow
ing with bodies of victims. On one
side of the structure the bodies of 1s
babies were in one group.
Practically every delivery truck in
the city was converted into ambu-
lances, while scores of private ma
chimes were pressed into service.
Business houses were closed and all
joined in the-work of rescue.
One hundred special policemen,
sworn in Immediately after the
storm by Chief of Police Norman. pa
trolled the stricken districts.

their struggle today to reach the "a

sion that. Tuesday night, wrecked
mine No. Al of the Bethlehem Mines
Corporation at Barrackville, three
miles from here. Late last night the

nor were there indications that any
of the men caught far in the work
ings were alive.
Hope that some of the entombed
men may be rescued has not been
abandoned, but it is the belief of ex-
perienced mining men that those in
the property at the time of the ex-
plosion have perished.

Virginia department of mines, an

the mine with a rescue crew, that fire
was burning in the right heading. He
said the flames probably would be
