UTAH MINE HORROR
Several Hundred Lives Blotted Out
by Explosion at Scofield
Salt Lake City Two hundred and one
bodies had been recovered from the Pleas
ant Valley mine at Scofield up to Wednes
day night It is now known between 300
and 400 meh entered the mine a great ma
jority of whom were killed
This mine had been worked over twenty
years and had the reputation according
to State Mine Inspector Thomas of being
one of the best ventilated and protected in
the west He states that he inspected it
less than five weeks ago and believed it
entirely safe at that time It never had
bad air and always had been free from
gas and as the coal is all loaded with
shovels there could not have been a large
accumulation of dust Nine tenths of the
men killed were Americans and Welch
Thformer came mostly from Utah with
a small number from Teunessee and
Colorado
Whether it was a power explosion or a
dust explosion or both has not been de
cided in fact no one had any thought but
the rescue of the injured the recovery of
the dead and Jhe relief of the suffering
The financial loss to the company cannot
be estimated but it will be very great In
every way it is regarded as the worst
disaster that ever occurred in this part of
the country

SENIORS IN REBELLION

mont High School
When a session of the Fremont high
school opened a few mornings since only
nine of the thirty members of the senior
class were present and three of them left

one being practically suspended The

the clapper of the high school bell by a
committee of the seniors The bell was
recovered the day after it was taken and
the seniors owned up to taking it and ap
pologized
According to the rules of the school those
having a percentage of 90 or over in all
studies are not obliged to take the final ex
aminations Superintendent Laird in
formed the class that all of them must
take the examinations or they would not
be allowed to attend school and required
them to decide at once Only three agreed
to take the examinations There are six
who would be obliged to take the examina
tions anyway as they have not the required
standing

is unjust as it is no punishment at all for
six of them and also say that the juniors
have been guilty of much worse conduct
than they and have escaped punishment
The matter will come before the school
board and it is probable some kind of a
compromise will be made The seniors

publican columns at the November elec

While we aro opposed to imperialism wo aro
not unwilling to accept all legitimate results of
