Very difficult to get at the dea l and W mndod,
owing to the d imaged condition of the bot
tom of the shaft. Up to 0 p, m., Sunday, 00
bodies had been recovered, and it was still I e
llcved 50 others were In the mine. The greatest
difflcul-y prevails In the work of identification
as not only are most of the victim Italian and
French, but were total stranger in the local
ity, having been put to work within a woek
or so.
Tho scone around the pit mouth was never
paralleled in the State of Kansas. Some 8,000
women, attracto 1 to the spot by the explo
sion, crowded and Jostle I one another for prl
ority In examining tho mutilated remains
which were slowly coming up. All morning
from Saturday midnight a regular hurricane
prevailed, and as the winds swept the hyster
ical wailing of tho widowed women across
the wild scene, the effect was ln nrt-rondlng
In the extreme. Large fires built around tho
pit added to the wierd asjiect of tho scene,
and as theunfortunato women crept closer to
the blazing piles of coal for warmth tho fan
tastic light of the leaping flumes, blown wild
ly almut by tho storm, had the ffeet of mak
ing the women app -ar and disappear like su
jsTiiaturnl visitants from another world
rather than poor creatures bereft of homo,
husband and children.
Kcmoof the men who went Into the pit to
rescuo the living and bring up th dead,
fainbsl at the horrible sights presented. 1 he
holies were ranged in rows in the oven air,
where tho rnin and tho snow lat pitilessly
upon tho upturiie I faces. S' ineof tho bodies
wero horribly mangle I, ono trunk being
taken up devoid of head, legs or arms, and
every Isono In tho shnie'ess, pulpy msts
crushed. Men were at work all day Satur
day, digging graves in the little cemetery of
tho place, getting re idy for tho funerals, and
the work of recovering tho bodies is still be
ing pushed.
Additional particulars ot tho nppalling
mitio disaster nt Frontonae, on Frlduy eve
ning, are nboiit ns follows: Out of a total of
104, who ilocciided hit) the mine,
only 14 have I con taken out nlivn, tho
greater part of thorn Udug so t a lly burned
tuey cannot livo. Thirty-six bodies were
found on tho north and west sides whero the
work of rescue had to le stopo I until other
psrt of tho mine could lie strengthened, so
it could bo explored for tlio remaining vic
tims. It will pro" nbly lie three or four days
befc.ro the bodies can bo recovered, and many
being burned beyond lecognition, a fu 1 list
of tho names will never bo learned. Tho fol
lowing is u list of tho e who are supposed to
be still in tho mine: J. Groittz;er, Joseph

Rovier, Mo., reports a riot at the coal
mines at that plum Saturday night. A strike
hal been prevailing there for some months,
and there htve boon frequent rows butwoon
the strikers and tb now man. A short time
ago a number of Swede wore engaged to
take the p ace of the strikers, and Saturday
the bad feeing resulted in a pitched battle.
C. J. Anderson, a Swe le, was shot through
the breast ai d killed, and threo others,
Swede, were lightly woundeiL It is ru
mored that one striker was killel, but this i
not confirmed. Over one bundled shots were
fired during the riot and a number of house
were pierced by stray bullets. The fcituatioa
is critical, and the military will probably b
oalltd out. Thomas Waniell, owner of the
mine, was shot and killed by a mob of strik
er about six week ago.
