The coroner's jury consisting
of Mr. McKay, Fred Wilson, L.
E. Bllven, E. C. Hall, Chas.
Lee and D. W. Small brought
in a verdict of "accidental
drowning."
Gust Bloom, aged about 21, Otto
Axelson, aged about 30, and Carl
Carlson, aged about 30, all employes
of the C. A. Smith mill, were drown
ed Saturday, shortly after midnight,
when a rowboat in which they were
rowing to the Eas.slde landing from
Marshllold capsized In the Bay. Her
man Back, the fourth occupant of
the boat, was saved by a small pet
dog, belonging to Captain Grimm of

taking parlors, and the details of the
tragedy will probably be brought out
more clearly than they have yet
been told.
All of the victims were unmarried
men. Bloom and Carlson were cou
sins, Bloom being a brother of John
Bloom, a well-knovvn Eastside man.
All resided In Eastside.
Mrs. Alex Hagstrom, who recently
died in Eastside, was a sister of Gust
Bloom, one of the victims.
Left Hero Late.
As near as can be gathered, the
four came to Marshfleld Saturday
evening to have a little fun and some
of them Irsisted on staying late. It
was after midnight before they start
ed home in their rowboat. While
going up the bay channel, the skiff
ourturned. Just what the cause
wa&. Is a matterof uncertain. y. Back,
the only one of the four rescued,
had but a hazy recollection of the.
eunit. When he was first rescued,
he could tell little or nothing about
It and first claimed that only one
was drowned. Even Sunday morn
ing, he was confused about what had
happened.
At any rate, there was a strong In
coming tide. When the boat over
turned, Back succeeded in catching
hold of it and holding his head
above the water. He "had a heavy
overcoat on and heavy boots. The
tide carried him up the Bay and he
evidently kept up a continual call for
help
Captain Grimm of the Esther
Buhne, says he was aroused about 1
o'clock by his pet dog, Mabel, bark
'ng furiously. He dashed out on
deck and soon discovered the calls
o' a man In the bay were the cause
of tho dog's disturbance. He quickly
called some of his sailors and bailing
out a boat sent them to the stran
Eer's aid. Tho latter were garbed in
tQelr night clothes, and it was in
tensely cold. They pulled Back in
to their boat, carried him to the pri
vate launch landing of C. J. Millls

NEW YORK, Nov. 15. No de
finite information was obtained to
day of the reported organization of
a new one-billion dollar corporation
to control the output of copper.
Numerous conferences of the copper
Interests have been held In the of
fice of J. P. Morgan and Company,

Appeal Will Be Made to Have
Temporary Writ Set
Aside.
A motion will probably be filed in
a day or two to have" the temporary
Inj unction restraining the Port of
Coos Bay from any and all acts set
aside. It is claimed that the Port
of Coos Bay is suffering an irrepa
rable injury by being so enjoined
and that the bond given by the
plaintiffs securing the injunction
does not guarantee to make good
any of this loss, the bond being to
the members of the port commission
personally and not to the port. If
tho temporary Injunction Is dissolv
ed, the commission will then be able
to go ahead and attend to minor
matters in connection with the port,
including the certifying of a small
tax levy to the county clerk for next
year. Of course, as long -as the
present suit is hanging fire, the com
mission will be unable to dispose of
any bonds, the bond houses refusing
to buy the securities until all such
matters are settled. This can only be
done by trying out the petition of Mr.
Bennett's clients for a permanent in
junction and this cannot be heard be
fore the regular term of circuit court
opening the second week In Decem
ber. Attorney C. R. Peck today filed
the Port Commission's reply to Mr.
Bennett's suit.

Judge Coko today fixed the hear
ing on the motion to dissolve tho
temporary Injunction for Wednesday

Worst Disaster In History of
Illinois Occurs at St. Paul
Railway Mines.
WOT OWE OF ENTOMBED
MEN YET RECOVERED
Practically All hope of any
Surviving Abandoned By
Rescuers.
LAST HOPE GONE.
(By Associated Press.)
CHERRY, 111., Nov. 15. An-
other outbreak of tho fire In
the St. Paul mine this afternoon
prevented any efforts to take
out tho bodies of the fire vic
tims. The mine was quickly
sealed' again, thus virtually
ending all hope that any of the
men would be rescued nllvo.
(By Associated Press.)
CHERRY, 111., Nov. 15. Shortly
before noon, hope was all but aban
doned by the relatives of the three
hundred or more men who wero
numbered as victims of the greatest
mine disaster In tho history of Illi
nois. That not one man of the hun
dreds entombed In the St. Paul Rail
way Company's mine will be taken
from It alive was tho opinion of
those at the scene.
The rescuing party is unable to
penetrate deep into the mine on ac
count of the smoke and gases, and
no bodies have been recovered. The
oxlgeu helmets of the rescuers are
useless in the smoke and gas-choked
chambers.
Those who entered the mine said
It was still on fire and caving badly.
That every bit of life-giving air waa
exhausted many hours ago seems
certain.
Bine fact tnat no uouies nave Deen
discovered uy me rescuers maicaiea
that when tho Imprisoned men real
ized they were penned hopelessly in
a pit from which there was no exit,
they rushed to the furthermost end
where some air might be found to
keep them alive until help came, but
ln all probablllles this meagre supply
of air was long ago exhausted, In
the opinion of those who are on tho
ground.
Tho St. Paul Company, owners of
the mino, will provide for the burial
of the victims and a committee has
been appointed by President Earllng
to devise plans for relief of tho des
titutes. Scaled Air Shaft.
Late last night, tho air-shaft, tho
only opening besides the hoisting
shaft, was hermetically sealed ln an
endeavor to extinguish tho flames.
All night, anxious men and women
surrounded tho openings of tho
mines. Tho women complained bit
terly as the sealing of tho shaft
seemed to cut off all the air, hut
mine officials say this was the only
possible chance of saving the men
entombod in the depths, becauso If
tho Are was successfully extinguish
ed, It would preserve tho supply of
any oxygen that might still bo In tho
mine. If tho flro was allowed to go
unchecked, It would eat up tho oxy
gon, and tho action taken Is consider
ed by experts the lesser of two evils.
Shortly after tho mine was re
sealed ,tho olllclals announced that
carbonic acid gas and steam would
bo forced through tho pipes to tho
bottom of tho mine, President Mc
Donald of the United Mine Workers
of District No. 12, said if this was
done evory man in the mine would
be dead In few minutes ovon if any
are alive at this time. He doubted
if any of the bodies would over on
recovored as the timbors aro cav
ing In. All hope of furthor ex
ploration of tho mine today has
been abandoned. Experts bellovo it
will ho several days before th re
scue work can be resumed,
