Conrad and w. H. Graham, two coal
miners, were instantly killed in the
explosion of windy shot in the
Peabody Coal Company, mine No. So.
Debris, stoppings, props and pit cars
was, scattered in the vicinity of the
explosion and poisonous gas, known
as, black damp, held back the rescue
work for six hours.
Conrad is survived by a wife and
twea children. Mrs. Conrad, notified
Of the explosion, came to the mine
and waited for several hours for the
resone party to come to the top, hop
ing that her husband might still be
living. She was nearly overcome,
however, before the rescue party
came up with the dead bodies and
was taken to her home in a state of
collapse.
Needless explosions of this kind
can be prevented by simple safety
measures, chiefly the sprinkling of
the mine workings with powdered
shale, rock-dust, or water. But why
should Peabody Coal company worry
about safety measures, when the
state mine Inspector, who is appointed
by Governor Len Small, always re-
ports in favor of the operator when
explosions Of this kind occur by pro-
nouncing this is a unavoidable acct
dent and due to the carelessness of
the miners themselves" And even
our dearly beloved" President Frank.

official family organ the Illinois Miner
