MOBERLY, Mo, August 19.-Rescue
workers were baked today in an effort
to reach through an escape hole four
men trapped in the Sexton Coal Mine
near here by a fire and cavein late
yesterday afternoon.
Arnold Griffith, chief State mine in
spector, who led six rescuers into the
mine through the escape hole at am,
returned to the surface three hours
later and reported they had reached
the cavein in the main shaft, but could
not work because of the bad air there
Griffith said it would be necessary to
pipe air through pool Of water at
the bottom of the escape hole. He
could not estimate how long this
would take.
Meanwhile, other rescuers were
building temporary cribbing and at
tempting to open the main shaft in
order to reach the men who were be-
lieved, to be in one of the two hori-
zontal tunnels leading from the main
shaft. Indications were this work
would take several hours.
The rescue workers had gone down
by ropes through the escape hole.
Cites Danger in Mission.
I'VE are going down on dangerous
mission" Griffith told the group.
ANY one the least bit afraid should
say so now and he will not be asked
to go. I want you to know you might
not get back We don't want any one
to get excited down there. I am con-
fident there is not enough black damp
to bother us greatly"
The crowd, which reached 5000
early last night and dwind!ed to
about 20 in the early morning hours,
began to increase rapidly with day.
break. Fifteen c. c. c. youths helped
direct traffic and handle the crowd.
Surely the men must be dead by
now," said Evan Jones, deputy State
mine inspector, after a night of ac-
tiNty at the mine near this Central
Missouri city.
The four, trapped more than 100
feet underground by fire while getting
the mine ready for operation. were:
Demmer Sexton, 81, married and
father Of one child.
A. w. McCann, so. unmarried.
Edward Stoner, rs, married.
George T. Dameron, 27. colored,
mule driver, married.
Yesterday was the first day in the
mine for Dameron, bridegroom of q
week.
Friends and relatives of the miners
were among those who maintained
an all-night vigil as close to the tragic
scene as State highway patrolmen
would permit.
Jones believed that an automobile
motor, used to operate a ventilation
fan, started tine fire in the tipple over
the main shaft. The flames spread
through the mines superstructure be-
fore they were extinguished. Dyna-
hitting, carried on by the four while
unaware Of the fire, probably aided
collapse Of the main shaft, Jones
said.
Six men who earlier attempted to
enter the escape hole were turned
back by black damp.
