that certain county officers were short

ease of the county officers, the board of
commissioners was instructed to begin
suit against Speed to recover the
money paid to him. This will be n
civil action, but there is a movement to
begin criininal proceedings if proper
evidence can be found.
The charges against Speed are the
outcome of public feeling that lias been
intense iu Pawnee conuty for months.
The case has caused much comment
owing to Speed's prominence in Okla-
homa affairs. He has been twice

reputation for integrity and straight-
forwardness has given him strength
both at home and in Washington. The
present charges against Speed grew out
of a contract made in 1899 between him
and the commissioners of Pawnee coun-
ty by which he should receive a fee of
20 per cent of all delinquent taxes col-
lected in suit by him from cattlemen
and non-Indian citizens in the Osage

Johnstown, Pa.: Johnstown has
again been vetted with an appa lmg
disaster, only less frightful than the
awful calamity of May 81: 1889, In cost
of life. , . ..
A terrible explosion took place in the
Cambria steel company's roiling mill
mine under Westmont Hill, and how
many are dead it may take several days
to determine. That it is a long and
shocking list is certain, and it may
reach two hundred or more men.
It was nearly an hour after the ex-
plosion before any knowlege of what
hail happened got abroad. Men who
came from the mines, escaping with
their lives, told the terrible news, and
soon it spread like wildfire all over the
city. In scores of homes there were
most pathetic scenes. Mothers, wives,
daughters, sons and relatives were
frantic with grief, and hundreds rush-
ed to the scene. At the opening of the
mine the Cambria Iron company police
stood guard, permitting no one to enter
the mine, from which noxious gases
were coming.
Mining officials of the Cambria com-
pany stated that the explosion was one
of fire damp. The few survivors who
have escaped from the depths of the
mine describe conditions to be frightful
in their nature. Within the fatal
limits of the mine the havoc wrought is
such that beggars description. Solid
wall of masonry threo feet through
were torn down as though they were
paper. Roofs of tho mine were demol-
ished, and not a door remains standing.
In the face of these difficulties even the
most heroic efforts toward rescue may
well seem hopeless.
One of the officials said he believed
that as many as four hundred and fifty
men were still in the mine. It was his
opinion, from all that he could glean,
that not more than one hundred and
fifty men had come out.
