“Mystery Couple”
Sought in Fremont
Crumpled Marriage Certifi
cate and Clothing Left in
Room by Missing Pair.
Fremont. Neb., Feb. 9.—(Special.!—
A crumpled marriage certificate,
two traveling bags and a quantity of
clothing, are the only traces remain
ing of a young couple >\vho left their
room at a hotel here nearly a week
ago and have failed to return.
The marriage document united in
marriage Arthur C. Housnmn and
Lillian M. Tuthilt at Mitchell, 8. D..
on December 23, 1922. Witnesses at
the wedding were Ruth Elliot and
Dora McManus. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Charles McManus.
The husband gave his home as Huron,
S. D.. and the bride, Whiting, la.
Tlie couplo disappeared about a
week ago. Believing that they woyld
return daily, M. M. Mohney, the pro
prietor, failed to report the matter
to the police. They had been a "mys
tery couple" at the hotel and their
plans or affairs were unknown to
anyone.
When employes of the hotel forced
an entrance into the abandoned room
today, wearing apparel was strewn I
about the room. All of their posses
sions remain, thus adding to the mys
tery.
The marriage certificate, apparently
crumpled and torn in a fight, was left
lying on the floor of the room.
Police were called In for an inves
tigation. The couple left a board and
laundry bill amounting to *30.

Forty-Seven Bodies
Taken From Two Mines
(Continued From Pace One.)
mouth by rescue parties after heroic
endeavors, were taken to a hospital,
where they are still unconscious, hut
with a chance for life. Thcro were 300
men on the night shift, which was
on duty when the exploaion occurred.
Cumberland this afternoon was a
place of mourning. Women ran aim
lessly about the streets, wailing their
grief. As each body was taken to
the morgue, groups of men, women
an<l children gathered about, waiting
fearfully for identification. During
the long night, while rescuers work
ed feverishly with the determination
to save the lives of at least a few
of the imprisoned men. the groups
gathered, conversing in frightened
undertone*.
Rescue Work Slow.
The Work of rescue went on slowly.
The men could work only four abreast, j
Kach of oe rescuers worked until he
was exhausted. Then he waa relieved
by another. This afternoon the work
was still in progress.
Men familiar with the mine, said
the explosion w-as undoubtedly due to
the presence of both gas and dust. '
Work of penetrating the mine was at
first extremely dangerous with vol
umes of gns pouring through the
tunnels.
The first body found was that of
W. Mitchell, 15. Rescue workers saw
him in the hoist sortie time before
they reached hirn, but he died before
help arrived. Kike many of the oth
ers, he was bleeding at the nose,
ears and mouth and the skin on his
face and hands was scorched with the
head following the explosion.
The explosion occurred in No. 2
east drift, and that portion of the mine
was badly wrecked with many work
ing faces blocked. It was believed
that about IS of the victims were
killed outright: the others died of
- I
afterdamp. Officials expressed the
opinion that if alf of tho men had
remained where they were at the time
of the accident, many more of them
would have been saved, as survivors
deflated they van into the after
damp at the entrance of No. 2 west
drift, in their flight toward the mine
mouth.
Man Held for Murder Is
Fined for Intoxication
Fjemont, Neb., Feb. 9.—(Special.)—
Andrew Johnson, North Bend, under
$5,000 bond charged with first degree
murder in connection with the death
of William Jurging. was arraigned in
Justice court on a charge of being in
toxicated. He was fined $25.
Jurging and Johnson were indulg
ng in a drinking debauch at North
Bend when the fatal shooting oc
curred. Johnson was arrested on a
charge of murder when it is. alleged
that he procured a shotgun and fired
at Jurging during an altercation. The
men had been life-Jong fiends and pal*
and no reason other than too mu*
liquor waa ascribed as the cause of
the shooting.
Despite the fact that he was hel l
foi first degree murder, efforts to
secure his release under bond wen
successful. It was during this last
period of freedom that Johnson sga.
imbibed too freely.
