R SIXTY WERE KILLED. AWFUL DEATH ROLL OF A MINE DISASTER. Red Canon, Wyoming, the Scene of the Most Horrible Explosion in the History of Western Mining—Two Fires Costa Million. A Blast of Death, The details of the explosion at the Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron Company’s mine No. § at Red Canon, near Evanston, Wyo.,, Wednesday evening mark it as one of the most horrible in the history of coal mining in the West. Thers are over sixty widows and 250 orphaned children as a result of the disaster. The names of the dead as gathered from the company’s pay-roll are: Willard Brown, Charles Kazola, James Bruce, Marshall Langdon, Aaron Bull, Wm. Langden, Sr Henry Burton, John Lapar, Albert Clark, John Lester, - Charles Clark, Joseph N. Lesti, James E. Clark, James Limb, James T. Clark, David ILiloyd, Samuel Clay, John G. Locke, W. E.

W., in which corder they were insured for $2,000 apiece. It is estimated that sixty men perished in the disaster. Seven were killed on the outside. The slopes and entrances to the lower workings are blockaded by wreckage, and several days will be required for res'cue parties to reach the bodies in the mine. The explosion in the mine shook the whole ccuntry around, wrecked the power plant, a fan house, and several other buildngs, entailing heavy loss, but the death roll far overshadows other considerations. Immediately after the explosion Supt. Bradbury telephoned for physicans. Brave men tried to descend some of the air shafts and escape slopes without suceess, and it was not until three hours after the explosion that a volunteer party entered the main entrance to the slopes, and soon afterwards returned with two bodies. Then reported caves stopped further progress down the slope. Then a party went down to shovel out the caves, after which the searching party again entered, and work in that line is now going on. The explosion is described by many as { most terrifie, shaking the whole town ! and causing women and children to run | into the streets imploring for the safety of the beloved ones. Though there is no fire in the mine, the explosion is supposed to have come from a blast setting fire to i dust, making a dust explesion.

Fire Causing Nearly Half a Million T.oss in Sioux City, Towa. | The destruction by fire at Sioux City, | Towa, of the Western Transfer and Im- | plement Company's warehouse and the | storehouse and e¢levator of Hubbard & | Gere'slinseed oil mill Thursday caused an | agarecate loss of $400,000. The storage : building was an immense structure, 150 x GO feet. including a brick oil sterage annex. The main part of the elevator was i five stories high, and had a eapacity of Y 150,060 bushels of flaxseed. In bins at { the time were stored 100,000 bushels, | and on the lower floor several thousand t tons of linseed-oil cake were ready for | the market. In the annex the oil was in ! huge tanks, having an estimated capacity |of 120,000 gallons.” The huge warehouse | of the Transfer company, 100 by 150 feet | in size and with four stores besides the | basement, was filled from top to bottom with farm implements and machinery. | Ths machinery was owned by about twen- | ty implement companies in different parts |of the United States. The contents of { the burned warchouse were covered by | insurance ageregating $31,750. The | warehouse building itself was covered | by $30,000 insurance in Liverpool and | London and Globe Insurance Company. | The insurance on the oil mill cannot be | obtained, as the National Linseed Oil | Company handles the insurance on all | ite plants. Franklin and Pennsylvania | companies carried $3.000 each and the | Commercial Union $6,000 on seed in the | elevator. o ‘ A Distincet Loss in Advoirdupoie, ; <y % rp \% 7 z ‘N R v N =T ' b ‘\\ | [ ™ [afidi Sk !Z‘“ oil - %fi5: e 'm.&hl I'H } HA! 1) ’-&] g I{/ | \'/g \\-J T Lo /] \ - > f = / & | J | / | In exchanging a 300-pound PostmasterGeneral for a 120-pound successor the ‘('un::rr"\' still hopes to get its mail reg- ; ularly as usual.
