Hundreds of Men Caught in a Mine Set Ablaze by an Explosion. DEAD HAT NUMBER TWELVE BOO BE Somebody Goes into & Condemned Entry with Haled Lamp. Forty-Six of the Men Known to Hat Escaped Alive Only Two Bodies Recovered from Great Grave. Laramie, Wyo., July 1. A terrific explosion took place In the Union Fa-1 ific coil mine at Hanua, Wyo., known J as No. 1. Nearly 300. men were working in the mine at the time Forty-six of the men have been resCued from the burning mine. The rescuing party which was o:ganized Immediately has succeeded iu getting air into the mine, and it if- hoped soon to reach others of the Impisoned men. The explosion was caused by a man going Into a condemned entry of the mine. Quantities of gas had evidently accumulated, for a tremendous explosion occurred the moment the gas touched the mlner'3 lamp. Death Roll Will Reach 234. The party of rescuers has reached ihe surface with the mangled bodies of twenty-five mine.s who were taken out of the mines by the rear shaft, or manho;e. Most of the men were alive when found, but some will die. Those who can talk say that the men who were working further on in the mine 4ire probably dead. A conservative estimate places the number of dead at 234. The names of the unfortunates and those of the rescued miners cannot cow be learned. Flf ht Vada Against the Flames. Surface men who went to the tesrue immediately after the explosion occurred fought manfully and subdued the flames, which were confined to a few chambers. Many of the rescuing party were burned or injured. All efforts were In the direction of subduing th2 fire in one level at a time, so that the rescuing party could reach tha entombed miners, if alive, and their bodies if dead. Special trains were Tushed to Hanna from Rawlins, Carbon and other towns, having on board volunteers to fight the fire and dig for the'eutonibed miners, and docto:s and nurses to care for the injured that are rescued. ONLY FORTY-EIGHT ACCOUNTED FOH Of 283 Ui Who Went Down Into the Mia la tho Morning. Omaha, Neb., July' 1. A prcial to The World-Herald from Hanua, Wyo., fcjys of the mine disaster there: "Two hundred and eigtby-lwo men went down iu the mine at 7 a. in., and up to this writing only fortyvignt have been accounted for. Of this number two are dead. It was some time after the explosion occurred that the first man was brought to the surface. He was followed by others until 1 o'clock, when t'je last were brought out. The rescuers were unable to penetrate fur"therinto the mine until additional opening had been made to permit fresh air to reach the lower levels and clear away the foul gases. Horses and scrapers were put to work, hauling debris away from the shaft, and cars were pushed down the Incline, loaded and hauled back up the tipple and dumped. "The work is progressing slowly, owing to the narrow space in which the rescuers were compelled to operate.. A jparty of rescuers reached four mules ; that were alive, and this caused hopes to arise in; the breasts of the tired workers and the anxious women and -children gathered about the shaft It is faint hope, however, for experienced mine bosses and miners say that when the Imprisoned men are reached all will be found dead. "Some of the miners that escaped said they saw twenty, dead bodies In entry No. 17. They reported that many of the men were crazed by the explosion, and ran hither and thither in tie mine. Many of these could have escaped, but they laid down, buried their faces in their hands and gave up the fight Of the 234 dead about 175' were married and leave large families. About 100 wer? Finlanders, fifty were colored and the balance were Americans." ' COME OF IDE DEAD MEN . Cartlal List of Those Who Lost Thai I4ree la tho Catastrophe. Hanna, Wyo., July 1.

Hill had been an employe of the comptroller's office for ten years preceding Love's term of office, lie was leti out J Lve when the latter took charge, and it is presumed that this fact preyed upon his mind. He went to the capitol, ente.ed Love's private office, spoke to him cheerfully, shook hands, and handing him a letter to read sat down at the invitation of the comptroller.

The practice of bar te. bag department clerkships for private gain is a disgrace to the public service, and In this nefarious traffic you are a record breaker. You have robbed the state employes and your incompetent administration has piompted others to rob the state.

"If that be true you are a murderer of the deepest crime. Although I cannot help myself, before laying life's burdens down I shall strike a blow feeble though it be for the good of my deserving fellowman. For the right against the wrong, 'For the weak against the strong. "Yours truly, "W. G. HILL." Hill was a quiet and gentlemanly person, and was never known to have been addicted to any bad habits.

ROAST FOR A COMITY

Delaware "Catches It' in a Re port on Her. Prison and Almhouse. E01H AEE DECLARED DISGRACES Pacta Allesed That Seem to Prove tbm Case Farmer Break Cause a Bank Run Notes. Muncie, Ind., July 1. The report of the Delaware county board of charities and corrections, signed by the Chairman, C. M. Kimbrough, and secretary, J. Frank Mann, is a scathing rebuke to the county and county officers for allowing the county jail and infirmary to remain, after repeated warnings, In such a condition as the report declares to be "a disgrace to civilization." The report shows that the woman's department of the Jail consists of one cell, fourteen feet square, in which there are two cots. The cell is almost without light or ventilation and is in other ways unsanitary. Bow the Women Are Donitd. When the board visited the place it found five women in the one room, two of the five at least being girls of fair morals, thrown in with three degenerate women. Two of the women slept on the cots, while the other three were compelled to sleep on the cold stone floor, without pillows to their heads. This cell also adjoins tbe men's department, and the women were subjected to the remarks and jests oi the mal prisoners. Says the report: "The Influence upon the life of these girls (referring to the comparatively good young women confined there) may place the younger girls beyond redeeming influences; they may ever remain criminals, a blot upon society and if they do, Delaware county is chargeable with if Connty Infirmary In a Bad YTayT" The board says it found the county infirmary reeking In filth and the inmates compelled to do the work that the county is supposed to have don by outside people. The board sarcastically refers to the county making thousands of dollars yearly off the oil wells on the Infirmary farm, and being then too penurious even to hire sufficient help to keep the farm comfortable and clean." The superintendent's wife, the report says, is compelled to be dishwasher, cook, chambermaid and wait, ress, with only such help as weakminded inmates can give. "Inmates of Inferior mental order, who have no idea of cleanliness, are made to do the cooking," the report says. "We do not hesitate to say that this condition of things is a disgraee to the county." FARMER CAX8E3 A BUM OM A HANK Mistook the Significance of the Placard Cltal and Spread a Report of Suspension.
