BAD EXPLOSION
AT NANAIMO
Twenty Miners Killed In Coal Mine
When Coal Damp Explodes—
Bodies Brought To Surface.
NANAIMO, B. C., May 28—As a
result of an. explosion of coal damp
in one of the mines of this city twen
ty miners were killed and several in
jured. The explosion happened this
morning and the night shifts were
immediately called to help in bring
ing the injured men to the surface
and also bringing the bodies of the
dead to their homes.
The news of the explosion caused
much excitement here, as it was re
ported that the prisoners at the Na
naimo detention camp had succeeded
in escaping and had blown up the
mine. Investigation, however, soon
showed that the explosion resulted
from coal gas.
The wives and families of the men
in the mine soon gathered at the en
trance to the mine waiting for news.
The scenes of sorrow as the bodies
were brought to the surface were
heartrending.

FLOODSJTS BANKS
LITTLE IiOCK, Ark., May 28.—
The worst flood in many years Is
sweeping down the valley of the low
er Arkansas river. Farms and towns
have been covered with water which
has carried away hundreds of build
ings. Cattle worth many millions of
dollars have been killed, railroad
tracks have been washed out and big
steel bridges carried down by the cur
rent. The loss of human life can
not be estimated at this time, but it.
is certain that many have died in
the mad rush of the waters.
Efforts are being made to reach
points where it is thought refugees
may be in danger and several boats
have been started on rescue work.
The property loss will be many mil
lions of dollars.
