March 20, 1Q29. Death was due t > heart trouble with which she has been afflicted for seven weeks. Miss Moffitt roomed at the Michaud residence in Berne about nine years ago, for a period ot time, while she acted as general agent for a set of Bible Study Books. She returned to Berne about nine weeks ago, and again secured a room at the Michaud home, apparently to retire from work and reside in Berne. She had only been there two weeks when she was taken ill and has been bedfast since that time. The only known relatives which she has are a brother. Charles Moffitt, who resides in Miami, Florida, and some cousins in Richmond. The body is being held here pending word from the brother in Florida. o BLAST WRECKS MINE, TRAPPING NEARLY 300 MEN (CONTIXit'ED FROM I'ACIS ONE) night shift who were homeward bound the blast occurred. Houses for two miles about the mine were rocked by the explosion. Witnesses said a shaft of flames shot 200 feet in the air from the mine shaft. It was feared that many of the miners may have burned to death. A mine official said the explosion was caused by sparks flying from a conveyor belt as its steel rasps slid about a imlley wheel at the foot of the shaft. The sparks, the mine ofi'ioial said, probably found a gas pocket and the explosion followed. A fan house 200 yards from the main tipple was blown to bits and its framework burned by the flames which belched from the mine shaft. o MISSING FARMER IS FOUND ALIVE j (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) up with him. They insisted that he come on in the house, but he refused and started in the direction of his mother's home, which adjoins the Wullimau farm. The two men accompanied him. Mr. Moser seemed to be suffering from mental trouble, and. believing that the situation was caused by a possible fracture of the skull which he might have obtained in an automobile accident Tuesday afternoon, relatives brought him to the office of a Decatur physician, where a thorough examination was made. No pressure of any sort on the brain was found. However. Mr. Moser had been worrying greatly over financial troubles, and for the pas't three or four days, his family had noticed him talking rather peculiarly. It is believed the shock of the accident aggravated this condition, and caused him to wander from home. Mr. Moser was placed in the Adams county jail here during the night, and today, was taken to his home northwest of Berne. Mr. Moser is married, and the father of eight sons. o Inspects Holstein Bulls In Adams County Today C. W.
