A BODIES TAKEN
FROM COAL NINE
IA Men Escape as Gas Blast
Skaters Pit-Cause of Ex-
pIosion Unknown.

Clymer, Pa.-The explosion which
occurred at the Clymer mine of the
Clearfield bituminous coal corporation
apparently has crushed out the lives
of A men. With Al bodies recovered
from the blasted workings mine off.
Gals expressed the belief that three
others unaccounted for were dead in
the debris-swept ruins of the mine.
Figures given out by A. J. Musser,
vice president and general manager
of the corporation, and DR.. Fred St.
Clair, coroner of Indiana county, re-
vealed that So miners were trapped by
the explosion.
Ten miners escaped with their lives
and four others are in a Dixonville
hospital suffering from gas and
shock. Volunteer rescuers, who en-
tered the gas-filled stope in their he
roic effort to rescue the entombed un.
derground toilers, were driven back
time and again. Great crowds Of men.
women and children focked to the
mine from nearby villages shortly aft
er they were startled by the heavy ex-
plosion, which was felt half mile
away. The crowds hampered the vol
unteer rescuers at the outset, but
state troopers from Greensburg finally
controlled the throng, forcing the on
lockers to take to the hills danking
the mine mouth. Here, on the outer
edge of the crowd, stood many women
and children whose husbands and
fathers were trapped in the mine. Gen
eral Manager Musser refused to haz-
ard an opinion as to the cause. He
said the deadly after damp was so
heavy in the workings that the res
cuers had not been able to get in very
far, and that, therefore, they did not
know the condition of the mine or the
spot where the explosion occurred.

Dan Moody SWamps "Ma"
In Texas Primary Election

Dallas-Dan Moody, youthful attor.
ney general of Texas, swamped Gov.
ernor Marian Ferguson in run-off
primary for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor. Moody took big
lead right from the start and when
half of the counties had reported he
had lead of almost 10000 votes. De-
feat of "Ma" Ferguson was indicated
on the first returns which showed
that Moody was piling up a bigger
margin that he did last month in the
regular primary. Throughout his en-
tire campaign, the young attorney
general campaigned against the con-
troll which he claims former Governor
Jim Ferguson-who was impeached-
has held in the state. In several
speeches he intimated that "Pa"
Ferguson had been the governor al.
though Mrs. Ferguson held the title.
In the regular primaries Moody scor-
ed an easy victory to obtain the dem
ocratic nomination. His margin,
however, was not great enough for a
majority and the run-off primary was
necessary as Governor "Ma" Fergu-
son refused to withdraw from the
race.

of high school work. This military
training put them in fine shape for
their winters work.
The tourist park that has been
rented by the village from Mrs.
Wolf has been bruised and the trees
trimmed and other work done during
the past two weeks. This is located
on First lake, one half mile east of
our village and will be very pretty
place for anyone to pitch a tent and
spend few days. The west shore
of the lake nearest the park is sandy
and affords a very good bathing
beach. 1t has been very popular
with the bathers and swimmers this
summer and in years past was the
favorite swimming hole. There will
be some work done yet this year,
but as the season is getting late,
tables and benches and such things
will not be put in until next season.
Scott and Park Linsley, sons of

day with the Linsleys who had made
previous arrangements to meet their
friends, Mr. and Mrs. w. T. Coe of
Minneapolis, at Tony Anderson
cabin where they all spent the night.
There are many interesting places
to visit at Mile Laos lake; among
them is the Indian trading post where
many beautiful and useful articles
that are made by the Chippewa In
dams are placed on sale. Also
numerous articles are On exhibition
that have been brought there and
left for that purpose. 1t is worth a
great deal just to visit this museum
of Indian relics. Spirit Island which
is located four and one half miles
from shore at Clough's landing is
visited by great many. 1t is a
great mass of large rocks and is set
apart as bird refuge. In early
days this is where the Indians
would leave their prisoners and that
is no doubt where the island got its
name. Clough's landing is one of the
Fairgrounds of the lake where large
numbers find recreation.
