MRS. RICHARD V. NEGLEY
J. B. Hunsaker, of Alliance, was
the first man to file when the
doors of the land office were thrown
open at 12 o'clock Sunday night at
Valentine, Nebraska. There were
over b&00 people in the line. Mr.
Hunsaker gallantly surrendered the
head of the line to a Valentine wo
man who was anxious to he in first
Mr. Hunsaker had a card placed
across his breast on which were the
words: "No. 1, J. B. Hunsaker, Alli
ance, Nebr." He was 'photographed
standing at the head of the line.
A very comical Incident occurred
near the bead of the line Just be
fore the drawing started. A little,
weazoned Irishman was standing be
tween two heavy colored women,
each of whom weighed not less than
two' hundred and fifty pounds. The
Irishman was smoking a typical cob
pipe and was almost hidden by the
mountains of checkered gingham
which rose before and behind. The
crowd pushed up rather hard and
the Irishman began' to get squeezed.
He turned his head as far as possi
ble towards the rear lady and said.
In a voice loud enough to be heard
-clear down the line, "Be Jases, Oive
let you sqiiaze me enough now, my
dear. You back up a little or Oill

Cardiff, Wales, Oct. l Over 400
coal miners are believed to have
perished in a coal mine explosion In.
the Universal colliery at 8 o'clock
Tuesday mornilng. The mouth of
the mine Is today filled with noxi
ous gases and the rescuing panties
have only been able to Invade the
near parts.
The mine Is an old one and has
miles of underground tunnels where
the men were working. A total of
931 men were employed underground.
Over 500 of the mefl were rescued
during the night but the spreading
flames have driven the rescuers
away from some of the galleries
which were crowded with miners. It
is very probable that hundreds have
barricaded themselves In far parts o
the mine, In the hope that they may
be' rescued before suffocated.
After midnight the rescuing par
ties bcgnm to get the fires under
control and at 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing twenty more men were found
ailve at tJie bottom of the pit. This
gave hope that others might be
found, but there Is still a probability
that nearly 400 men perished.
Including the bodies recovered and
those killed at the pit head, the
known- death roll numbers sixteen
Doctors with oxygen and medicines

"I certainly like your western coun

a reporter of The Herald this morn
ing in the private car as It stood on
the' tracks at the Burlington station
this afternoon. The prince's car
came in on 44 and went east twen

"We had a great time tn the Big

feel repaid and much rested by my
trip. Although we did not get much
big game we got plenty to satisfy
the people who were with me. 1
must pay a compliment to Colonel
Cody for he is an excellent host."
When asked whether or not he had
accompanied Col. Cody to the mov
ing picture battle on Wounded Kn
battleground near. Hay Springs, Ne
braska, the prince stated that he left
Cody Tuesday noon. The man who
was in Alliance on Monday, October
7, who displayed $24,000 in thousand
dollar bills was evidently a moving
picture man, displaying a couple of
days' profits.
General Passenger Agent L W.
Wakely of the nurllngton aocoinpan
led the party. With the prince were
several of his foreign friends in
cluding an artist and a physician
who has charge of a hospital sup
ported by the prince.
The prince Is a man of refinement
and commanding appearance. He Is
to speak at the University of Chi
cago Friday evening and is mu -Ji in
demand as a speaker on literary
and scientific subjects.
The picture of the prince shown
herewith was taken on board hi
yacht near Monte Carlo. He is In
terested greatly In scientific marine
subjects and maintains very expeiis
