Raleigh, n. C.-Seventy-0ne men. al
Of whom are thought 10 be dead. were
entombed by gas explosion at the
mine Of the Carolina Coal company
eight miles northwest Of Sanford, n
G. Two more explosions occurred
subsequently. Hope that any Of the
entOmbed men would be found alive
was abandoned by rescuers.
So far. six bodies have been re-
moved. Two n these dead were iden-
titled as Archie Hollins and Hollis
Richardson.
Removal Of the six bodies brought
to light an attempted rescne by How
ard Butler. son Of the vice president Of
the company. and Joe Richards, an
employe. Immediately after the first
blast, they penetrated the mine TO the
first lateral. where they found six men
partially overcome by gas. Together
they dragged the miners 20 the main
shaft and left them while they went 10

Richards had reached the surface
before the second and third explosions
occurred. while Butler was caught in
he lateral. He escaped the full force
II the explosion, however. and erawied
% the main entrance nearly an hour
alter. He was taken to Sanford hos
lital, where doctors sllid he would re-
over.
Fire has handicapped the efforts Of
escue parties. and great concern is
cit for the safety OF the miners.
