MAN’S HEAD IN A BASKET

All That Could Ba Found of Him—Chamber of Horrors. One of the most gruesome sights witnessed was a man’s head being carried out of the mine in a dinner basket It was found in this position and the flesh was almost entirely burned away from the skull. Legs, arms and mangled trunks were brought out in succession. After nightfall the entrance to the mine was converted into a veritable chamber of horrors, the awfulness of which was Intensified by the flickering of the lamps, as the feeble rays fell upon the mangled and bleeding fragments of human flesh strewn about the entrance. Many stout-hearted man who had been assisting in the work of rescue were forced to give up the task, and numerous persons have fainted upon seeing the ghastly array of bodies. Several women became hysterical, others fainted and still others had to be placed to the hands of attending surgeons, being completely prostrated by the terrible scenes. When bodies are Identified a tag is placed on each and special ambulance wagons convey them to Bessemer. Out of the bodies recovered up to this time one was found which was hnrely alive. The man was carefully taken from the mine, and heroic methods resorted to to bring him to consciousness. He is still nlive, but scant hope is held out for his recovery.
