Only one man escaped he being blown
out of the mine. About three hundred
men were at work in the mines. Flames
are now issuing from mouths and vent
holes.
George N. Camp. superintendent of
the Thistle mine gave out an oiliclai
statement estimating the number kill-
ed in iroth mines at 150. None has
been rescued.
The Fraterville coal mine is located
it is own-
ed by the Coal Creek Company, of
which Major E C. Camp, of this city,
is president and general manager. This
is the oldest mine in the Coal Creek
district. having been opened in 1870; A
large area has been developed and
worked. The Coal Creek coal seam is
acious top averaging four and one-half
foot in thickness. The Fratervlllc
mine has always been considered one of
the safest mines in the Coal Creek belt.
A special to The Sentinel says: Two
rescuing“ parties were started into the
Thistle and Fraterville mine entrances
‘ as soon as possible alter the explosion.
The Thistle party was unable to make
any headway whatsoever. as the gas
' stifled the men almost as soon as they
entered the shaft. The Fraterviiie
party succeeded in entering for some
distance. but ,found further advance
blocked by a heavy full of slate. This
cut off any further progress into the
mine until the obstacle can be removed.
The intense heat indicates that the

church on Sunday night. and told ev-
ery one he met that he was to be mar~
rled that night About 3 o’clock this
morning several pistol shots were
heard but no one went to inverItlgate
When Wilkinson failed to appear this
morning, at a neighbor a house where
he was engaged in harvesting in crop of
potatoes, John Keller, a farm hand, was
rent to learn the cause of his absence
He found the wholé family murdered
and Austin with a bullet hole in his
left breast and the revolver clutched in
his hand. Word of the tragedy was
brought to this city and Sheriff Pewrry
