While fighting the fire in the Glendon section of the Primrose mines, yesterdav, Fred Benfield, Richard Bentleld, Thomas Lamb, James Doyle and James Bradlev. of Centralis: Hugh Poland, Dennis Uallagher, Condy Gallagher, Harry Val | entine and William Rupert, of Xuden- I tied, and Thomas Matthews, of Maha noy City, were overcome by the fumes | of white damp and dropped unconsc ious in the mine. A searching party I ' latfr found the eleven men and brought j them to the surface, where they are being treated in the mine rescue car. It is thought all will recover. ] The men were sent out from the sup-. : ply base properly equipped with hel mets. and when they failed to return ! rescuers were sent over the same route. : It is believed that the oxygen failed to work properly. | The fire is still raging with unabat i ed fury, though volumes of water are j being poured in upon it.

All-j good Nettervllle became a bigamist so! j that her four children might not starve, j she told Judge Barrett the other day. j Her husband, Frank Allgood, left : her, she said, so she married Jack Net-j j terville for the sake of her children. \ I Judge Barrett has deferred a decision j in the case, pending investigation. j Till: STRAPHANGER IN TOKYO \ After one has ridden for a few j j weeks on Tokyo trams, he realizes | that more than two million pec^ple,! living within a radius of three miles j of the Imperial Palace, require many j trams to carry them. Seats are al- j ways at a premium. Even the New | York subway is not as continually j i crowded. The trams are fast, well j I handled and plenteous. But a moving ; stairway or sidewalk covering all the i tram'lines in the city would scarcely I fill the bill. There are five or six stations from i : which trains depart for different parts I JANUARY 26, 1917, ; of the empire, but these stations are j only joined by city trams, so that if one wants to go from Tokyo station, ! the terminus of the Shimonoseki line to Europe, to Uena station, whence! j trains depart for Nikko, Karuibawa, I j Sendai and Hokkaido, he must take a j ricksha, a taxicab or a street car. or | I else circle the city for more than! | twenty miles in more than a hour to ! I reach a station that is only a mile f I and a half away as the crow flies.— j ; Maynard Owen Williams, in the Chris- | | tion Herald. Carrie's Hatchett Is Still Working ! Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 20. —Ten | years ago Carrie Nation, the militant Kansas prohibitionist, now departed 1 from earth's activities, delivered an i address on a square in Memphis, and jat its conclusion presented Police! j Captain John M. Cpuch with a hatchet I ;as a souvenir of her visit The hatchet j i had been used in many a barroom i : raid. Captain Couch threw the hatchet i iin a locker at police headquarters. | I Prohibition was not thought of for I ' Memphis in those days. The town I was wide open. Carrie was not taken seriously. | Recently Captain Couch headed a ; blind tiger raid, and linding it neces sary to batter down a door, sent to j headquarters for a hatchet. Carrie ! Nation's old hatchet was removed from the locker and with it the cap ; tain battered his way into the dive, where a vast quantity of liquor was I stored. Since that raid the hatchet has been in almost constant use | breaking flasks and knocking heads j out of casks and barrels of contra i band liquor. Memphis is dry legally ' and is being made dry in reality by the aid of Carrie's hatchet. <ssi "i v CMnrul" | ggggagi 5
