FROM THE MINE. * ROPER'S BODY IS FOUND ' ti ? s Kesultfi of Rescue Work Up to Eight ^ O'clock Thursday Night, Following a c Explosion in Oklalioma Coal Mine, jj Entombing Some One Hundred and j Sixteen Underground Workers. r A dispatch from McCurtain, Okla., says up to eight o'clock Thursday night twenty-six men had been res- ? cued alive from the wrecked Sans Bois mine, fifty-five of the dead had been brought to the surface and thirty-five miners were unaccounted for. 8 Rescue parties continued their exploration of the debris throughout the night. 11 Fifteen of those who came from v the mine alive were found Thursday s morning huddled about an air pump p in the south thirteenth entry, which had remained intact. The others 0 made their way out of the mine or 0 were rescued shortly after the exlosion occurred Wednesday morning. J1 With the exception of two, who are in a precarious condition, those rescued Thursday aro little the worse st for their experience. aI When the rescue party entered the 111 mine Thursday morning they heard faint rappings on an air pump lead- at ing to a room in the thirteenth en- cc try. When the rescuers made their ^ way to the room they found the men ^] piled in a heap about the air channel. Tom Farrimond, one of those rescued, told of the experiences of hi himself and his fourteen comrades, who were found near the airshaft. w He said: ri; "We had almost given up hope *n when the rescue party reached us. How we ever met in the room I he don't know. As soon as we felt the vc explosion wo rushed to the nearest B1 pump, knowing that we were too far he from the entrance to escape if tne he explosion was severe. We had just wi put up a curtain when a big sheet he Df flame, traveling with great speed, passed our room and sent a suial! dr putf of its deadly breath at us. The 6r minutes teemed like hours as wo he 2lung to the pump, straining every rflort to inhale every pa.nicle of the of f- esh air. Wo hardly spoke.

C., who was chief survey- fl5 or for the Sans Rois Company, who, fQ with two assistants, met death in the mine. The force of the explosion had rI blown off the head of young Roper, jj, Mr. Roper was only twenty-six years jj, old, and was a graduate of the Cita- |j del at Charleston, lie was a talented ^ young fellow and was doing well. ^ A dispatch from Chester, S.

When ho was kill- j. ed it is said that ho was in the mine performing his regular duties as a 0 civil engineer of the company. H Mr. W. 1). Roper was twenty-six y years of age. He graduated from tim rut mini in Charleston in 1 907. After teaching for three years, part ^ of the time being associated with the ( faculty at the Staunton Military f Academy , at Staunton, Va., he de- j elded to undertake his chosen profession of civil engineering.

John Dowd and John Taylor, two ! the convicts who escaped last hursday from the State penitentiary ; Lincoln, Neb., and ltoy Blunt, an nocent victim' of their murderous tempt to gain liberty, are dead as le result of a battle between the audits and oliicers Monday aftoroon. Charles Morley, the third member f the trio which escaped from the tate prison after killing three olliials of that institution, saved liis fc by surrendering to the oilicers, ith whom he had fought a running attle over two and a half miles of ountry with horses 011 the run. The three escaped convicts were 'ithin striking distance of the goal f safety when tho final struggle for iberty took place. They had covred the stretch from Lincoln to dtliin ten miles of the Omaha 1 inits, where they had expected to reeive protection of friends. From the moment of their escape lie three men had employed the ame desperate methods to protect hemselves from recapture which eatured their escape from prison, nd they did not hesitate at the cruial moment to attempt to sell their ives as dearly as possible. It was futile attempt, however, because hey were armed with shotguns and evolvers, while their pursuers had full supply of repeating rifles. Early in the day the telephone perator at Gretna, about 15 miles outh of this city, reported tho presnce of the desperate men. It had he result of bringing to the vicinity ix organized posses. Chief Briggs f South Omaha and his deputy, ohn C. Trouton, were leaders in he party which finally overtook and anquished tho three convicts and hot an innocent victim of tho deserate dash for liberty. Briggs left South Omaha on an arly morning special train with sevral Omaha police officers. They left le train at Springfield, about 15 liles south of that place, and there ;arned of the movement of the conIcts. The men had broken into a ore at MuruocK, oetween mis city nd Lincoln, and stolen guns, ammuition and clothing. Chief Briggs got a fast livery team ; Springfield, Sheriff Chase of Saipy >unty had a good span of horses and leriff Hyers of Lincoln also joined ie party. Three miles out of Springild, the posses learned that the concts had forced James Blunt and s wife to give them breakfast, and furnish a team and wagon, with hich they hoped to escape to Alght, a suburb of Omaha, compell- 1 g Roy Blunt to act as driver. Reaching a point eight miles from >re, the officers caught up with the hide carrying the convicts. Young 1 unt was compelled to lash his 1 >rses into a run, but the officers ' pt up the pursuit until they were 1 thin a few hundred yards of the eing desperadoes. Then Chief igg's driver balked and refused to 1 ive further. Briggs himself ( asped the reins, and whipped the ' irses into a gallow. When they were within 100 yards 1 the pursued men Briggs and Troun opened fire with their rifles. From J at time until Morley finally surndered it was a dashing fight over ' reo miles of rough country roads. Finally there came a halt when mng Blunt toppled back in the wain, the victim of a bullet. Chief rigg8 instantly jumped from his iggy and taking deliberate aim, ed at the men in the wagon, eantime, other members of the jssg came up and joined in the 1 - 7 ^ T"\ rv u? tlf e a pnYt to IHlllilUU. ifUUU iyunu n<v? uv?v 11. It was at first reported ho had tak1 his own life, but Chief Brlggs hooves he was a victim of one of tho li 1 lots from tho posse. Taylor was 10 next to fall, and then Charles torley, tho third convict, threw up is hands in token of surrender. Chief Briggs shouted to Morley to rop his weapon or ho would meet istant death. Morley, who held loft a big revolvor, dropped it, and triggs ordered him to come forward ritli his hands up. This Morley did, nd Briggs took a second revolver rom the man's pocket. Not knowing just what had hapnod, Briggs demanded of Morley the urrender of the other men in the ragon. "They are all dead," dclared Morley. Briggs then went to tho wagon,' aking Morlej' with him, and found he lifeless bodies of the victims of he battle. Morley was taken hack to dncoln on an afternoon train. I.oft Tube in Mis Clicst.

TAKES HER LAST SLEEP Solemn and Impressive Ceremonies Mark the Towing to Sea ami Sink* ing of the liulk of the battleship Maine From llarhor of Havana, ? Where She J Ia<l Latin for Years. Under lowering skies and in a heavy, tumbling sea, the old battle- i ship Maine, resurrected after four- | teen years' burial in Havana harbor, Saturday plunged, with her colors llying, to her everlasting rest, six hundred fathoms deep in the sapphire waters of thy Gulf. The sinking of the hulk was carried out precisely as planned, marking the end of the great work begun more than a year and a half ago. After imposing ceremonies in the morning, which ended with the formal transfer of the custody of the bodies of the heroic dead sailors, by the mayor of Havana, Julio D. Cardenas, to Brig. Gen. W. II. Bixby, chief of the engineer corps, U. S. A., as the representative of the United States, the coihns were taken aboard the armored cruiser North Carolina, where they were deposited on the quarter deck completely covered by a great mound of floral tributes, under a guard of honor composed of marines. Minute guns were fired by the North Carolina and the scout cruiser Birmingham and the batteries of Cabanas Fortress until the ships cleared the harbor. Soon after 3 o'clock the navy tug Osceola, aboard which were the United States minister, Arthur M. Beaupre, and the staff of the legation, Big. Gen. Blxby, Col. William Black, Lieut. Col. Mason Patrick and Major Harley 13. Ferguson, constituting the Maine commission, passed lines to the stern end of the wedgeshaped wreck and started seaward. Two flanking tugs attached lines to either end of the bulk-head, which then became the afterpart of the hulk, to steady and steer her. Her decks covered with flowers and palms and a great American ensign floating from the jury mast, where the mainmast formerly stood, the Maine was taken to sea on her last voyage. On deck stood Capt. John O'Brien, famous as "Dynamite Johnny," skipper of the filibustering steamers Dauntless and Three Friends, acting as the Maine's last pilot. As the wreck passed the American squadron the crews manned the rails, the marines presented arms, the scarlet-coated bandsmen on the quarter deck played ? the national anthem, while minute guns boomed a requiem. Passing out of the harbor, salutes were fired, the flotilla, headed by the Maine, proceeded in silence with the flags at half-mast. At 4:35 o'clock the three-mile limit was crossed. The (\inerican cruisers took up a position to the west and the accompanying ressels to the north and south. Meanwhile, the wreckng crew went aboard the hulk and made ready to carry Dut the airangement8 for the sinkng. At 5 o'clock another whistle from the North4Carolina sounded and another gun was fired. The cruiser instantly threw open the vales and Capt. O'Brien jumped aboard a tu^ alongside, which steamed a little distance away. Then all eyes in tne great fleet were fixed on the wreck; the crews of the warships were lining the rails. All was silence but for the washing of the heavy seas. For ten minutes no change was visible in the trim of the great battered hulk, which pitched heavily as the huge rollers struck her. Then she was seen to be sinking at the bulkhead end. Soon tho waves began to wash ovor her deck. As she remained pitching and wallowing, each moment getting deeper and deeper, the stern was seen to rise. In a few seconds tho hulk was almost vertical, showing first the propellers and then tho full keel. The next moment there was a flash of black and white, as the great ensign flying from the mast struck the waves and disappeared. Simultaneously jthe decks wore blown up by the air pressure and with incredible velocity tho Maine plunged down, leaving no trace, save flowers tossing on tho surface of the seas. ?
