DEAD MINERS NUMBER 234 They Are Imprisoned Like Rats and Die Before Relief Forces Can Reach Tnem Frantic Wives Seek to Join Their Dead Husbands. 1 1 ANNA, Wyo. Two hundred and thirty-four dead and several others slightly injured out of 280 is the rec ord of the most fearful disaster which ever struck the mining camps around here. Shortly after 10:30 Tuesday morn ing a miner entered a closed shaft leading into the No. 1 mine of the Union Pacific Coal company with a naked light. Through years of idle ness gas had been allowed to escape and accumulate till it needed but a spark to set it alight and wreck the pit. This was supplied by the min er. Instantly there was a roar as if of echoing thunder. Mine timbers, rock and iron were torn down and hurled athwart the entrances, com pletely blocking tae escape of almost 300 men employed below ground. The sound of the report echoed and re echoed below and above the surface and brought men hurrying from every direction, fearing they knew not what, but knowing something unto ward bad happened. Gradually sur vivors began to appear, forty-six of them, ragged, disheveled men, with gaping wounds and clothes torn by the explosion. From these the first sto ries of the disaster and the closed condition of the various underground tunnels were learned. Almost before they appeared, how ever, rescuers had volunteered for the task of carrying succor to their strick en comrades below ground, and head ed by E. S. Brooks, superintendent of the mine, a hundred willing hands were speedily at work clearing away the debris and opening up an avenue of escape for the imprisoned men and a shaft whereby pure air might be conveyed to them. For a time it was feared the ex plosion had bred a worse disaster and rumors of fire sweepinghe workings were bandied about among the crowd of watchers and workers which head ed the pit mouth. Fortunately, how ever, these rumors proved of false or igin, and the entombed men, sur rounded with sufficient horrors with out, were spared a holocaust. All day long willing hands worked, while weeping wives and children crowded round anxious for news of those who had gone down in the morn ing full of hope and vigor to wring a living from the black earth. Hour after hour dragged on and apart from a straggling survivor, each with a worse tale of death and disaster to tell than his forerunner, no news came. Gradually, too, the innate hope a miner's wife carries ever in her heart, died out, making room for dull, aching certainty that the man belov ed had gone to his last rest, never more to return. Of the dead men two-thirds were married and leave large families. One hundred were Finns, fifty were col ored men and the others white Ameri cans. Potatoes Fail in Ireland. LONDON Reports from the west of Ireland, Lancashire and other points state that thousands of acres of pota toes have been ruined by the present frost and rain. , It is feared that the failure of the Irish potato crop will entail much hardship on the peasants. Six Skeletons Washed Up. TOPEKA Six human skeletons were found in a hole washed out by the water just west of North Topeka.

They were evidently buried there by some one, and un earthed by the water, which washed out a huge hole, in which the bones w'ere found. Invalidates All Its Acts. DENVER.

REGICIDES FREE PETER'S APPOINTMENTS AN EN DORSEMENT OF ASSASSINS. CHIEF MURDERER AT THE HEAD Colonel Michin High in New King's Counsels After Leading the Das tardly Plot King Issues a General Order. BELGRADE Tho German emperor has sent King Peter a telegram couch ed in cordial terms. The Austrian minister has resumed official relations with the Servian government. King Peter had a reception. Only two foreign diplomats, the Russian and Austrian ministers attended. The representatives of the three or four other countries apparently were will ing to reccgnize King Peter, but not the Servian cabinet, in which Colonel Michlin, one of the chief conspirators, holds a portfolio. The king's reappointment of the ministry is regarded as equivalent to a notification that no punishment will be meted out to the assassins of King Alexander and Queen Draga. Foreign Minister Kalievics has .sent a circular to the Servian representa tives abroad explaining that the king appointed the cabinet because he con sidered that he could not do better than entrust the government to the men in whom parliament had a few days ago expressed its full confidence. King Peter has issued the following general order: "To My Dear Army: On setting foot on the soil of our dear fatherland, my cradle and the cradle of my ancestors, my heart gives greeting first to you, tha hope of Servia, my. dear, heroic arjny. "On ascending the throne of my glo rious ancestors I also take supreme command of the whole Servian army, which, under the leadership of my im mortal grandfather, by its virtues and military successes, astounded the world and in the later war for the liberation of Servia afforded many proofs of its military merits. I feel happy that the supreme command has been entrusted to me. "Officers, non-commissioned officers and men, at this solemn moment I greet you with the words, God be with you, you falcons of the Servian people.' I am happy to see you all united around my throne, imbued with fidelity and loyalty to me and to the ideals of our fatherland. I will en deavor to maintain this spirit by judg ing and estimating each and all of you solely on your military merit. You are all equally dear to me. I merely ask that you will devote yourselves heartily to the calling jrou have chos en and that you will assist me to guide you in the path oi honor and glory. "I therefore cry: 'Long live the hope of the Servian people, the army!'" PLACING BLAME FOR KILLING. Say it Was King's Secretary Who Started the Shooting. BELGRADE, Servia King Peter at tended the services at the cathedral Sunday without any escort. me otnclal account of tne recent as sassinations, based on an investiga tion made by the war minister, is ex pected to be published shortly. It is understood that it will say the con spirators did not intend to kill their majesties, but only to deport them, but they were incited to the murder by the attack of Lieutenant Petrovics, the king's secretary, who fired the first shot. It appears that It was the king of Greece and not the king of Italy who sent his congratulations to King Peter on Saturday. DRAWS JAPAN TOWARD RUSSIA. Visit of Kropatkin to Japan Seems to Pave Way to Peace. ST. PETERSBURG.

"There Is a charm, a fa.se Ii.rMoii about circus life that is hard to ex plain," paid a veteran showman. "It Is surely a tough existence, being buf feted about from place to place, often without a bed to sleep In. and tho wages, outside of the salaries paid to a few stars, are amazingly small. Vet when a man once gets a taste of cir cus life "it's all up with him. He's never good for anything else, and never wants to be. There must be a germ, bred of the sawdust, that, gets Into the blood. Take the canvasser, for Instance. They get $2U a month and their board, which usually con sists of bad grub and an Impromptu bed In a wagon. Often they don't lake their clothes off for weeks at a lime. There's one fellow I know who ok Besses more than the average intelli gence. He has a trade, and during the winter he niai.cs, on an uverage, $20 a week. And yet just an noon as the circus season opens he throws up his job and goeM out on the road with a show for $20 a month. In almost "every town the management be sieged by men and boys who want to ;go along, and many of them offer their j services for their board. It's a queer state of affairs." KEEPS THE CHURCH FILLED.
