rdt explosion of gas occurred'. But
ono man Is known to havo escaped
death .wuo wob with this party. This
rwas Charles HarrlB, colored. After
olng to his home to notify his fam
ily of his escape, Harris returned to
the mlno with tho rescuing party or
ganized by State Mlno Inspector Ellas
to recover the bodies of the unforttt
utets who mot death In tho first ex

Hut resulting from tho second explo
sion. According to tho story of Camp
bell, who reached the entranco of tho
mine with tho bodies of Warburton,
Munson and Perry, killed lu the first
explosion, and thereby escaped death
liimself, Inspector Ellas scattered tho
mouthers of the rescue party through
I ho entrance for a distance of 1,500
foot, removing wreckage and making
temporary repairs of 'damage caused
by the first explosion. The firo at the
tenth level was raging furiously and
Inspector Ellas ami several others
with him discussed the wisdom of
ibratticlng No. 8 entrance. It was
decided that tills would lie suicidal

the fire at the tenth levol and would

explosion occurred, and although it lj
known practically that fifty-eight per
rons met death lu the two explosions,
preparations are being made to care
for more than this number of dead
bodies should It become necessary.
Already seventy coffins have been de
livered here. The reason that no
definite estimate can be made
ot the number In the mlno when the
second explosion occurred Is that the

person on Santa Fe train No. 115 be

murder was a very brutal one, with

It was not until daylight that the

head and one arm was blown off, anu
Huhtala's body was horribly mangled

found quite a dihtauco from where the

The dead body of Messenger Bailey
was found at 4 a. m., when tho train
reached Newton. It was stretched on
tho Hoor of tho car, tho head beaten to
(i pulp and lying In a pool of blood.
The back of tho skull was crushed
and the ond of the car lu which It
was lying was spattered with blooa.
There was no evideucu of any strug
gle, tho indications pointing to the
committing of tho murder while the
messenger was asleep, before he could
offer resistance. Bailey was last seen
alive at Strong City.
Tho custom of tho messenger has
been to go to sloop soon after leav
ing Florence. After bolng struck
whllo sleeping and rendered uncon
scious his body rolled to tho Hoor and
tho robber, after beating his head
brutally, covered It with tho dead
man's coat. Front the dead man's
pockets keys weie removed and the
bales ransacked.
Two theories are held by tho of
ficers. One is that tho robbers en
tered the car unobserved at Emporiu,
Strong City, or some other point along
the line ami' concealed themselves un
til a favorable opportunity camo, and
the other Is that Bailey admitted
somebody he knew and considered a
friend.
