The others died from the after-damp that followed the ex- Plosion, = State and county investigations to- day sought to fix the explosions cause, A, D, Lewis, sf director of mines, who put on “pit” clothing and made a personal inspection, was eonducting the state's investigation, Whila Coroner Joe Hill of Franklin tounty impanelled a jury to investi- wate the disaster for the county. L Coming without warning shortly after 600 miners had taken their places at 7:30 a. m., the exploaion killed all the men working in four adjoining rooms. “Three mine rescue crews fought their way through gas and crumbled walls of coal and timber to bring the Lodies to the shaft where they were lifted to the surface last night. Two of the dead men were found within & few feet of fresh air and safety. Another had made his way " fearly, to a trap door where he could have escaped. A brave effort by David McPhail Yo save his brother Robert failed. David upon hearing the blast rushod into the passage and after three dashes ipto the deadly gas found his brother but was forced by the gas to drop him within 15 feet of fresh air. Evidently realizing his doom, Ray Farrell chalked the number of his mine reom on the soles of his feet Where it was found when his body was discovered. The other hodies were identificd by the numbers of their safety lamps. Many were mutilated and disfigured by the ex- plosion. B.

The first was an explosion in 1920 which resulted in loss of life and gave the mine a reputation of be- ing “hot,” an adjective applied to gaseous mines. In 1926 the tri-state tornado swept away the tipple and men at work wers forced ta climb to the surface through the air shafts. | The mine was flooded with water for {wo-years by the management after the 1920 explosion in an effort to extinguish .aslow fire, It was found necessary later to wail off a large portion of the under- ground workings because of gas and yesterday's explosion was within a shert distance of the 23 inch con- Jeréte wall, Youthful Crime Artist Plunges to His Death New York, Jan. 10 (W—A 16-year~ The Ladies’ auxillary, A.
