I113 N. MAIN ST.. BUTTE. MONT
Fifty-Four Men Entombed for a^While, but All Escape Through^Air Shafts-Hoisting Works^Burnod The Cause.
SpecialDispatch to the Standard.
Livingston.Mont., July in.^Thie city^was startled about ID o'clock this morning^by Ik* Information that Mm big plant of^the. Livingston Coal ^ Coke company at^''ek-dale was'being consumed by fire and^lhai th^ Humes had eomniuiitrated with^the mine, entombing the entire force of^underground worker!. In response to a^eall for aid the Livingston tiro depart^^ment loaded ail the city hose onto a flat^ear, and Ir onmpany with many citizens,^hurried to Cokedale l^y special train.^When the train reached the coal I imp^the tire was raging with relentless fury^at the mouth of the shaft, hut lis pro^^gress into the mine had been stayed by^the tire proof door at the entrance of the^l,3u0-fool shaft.
Thefire originated In the hutlding con^^taining the ponderous hoisting apparatus,^but from what cause is not known for ^^certainty. About ^:3U thlj morning a ter^^rific explosion took place at 'he holatlng^plant dote to the mouth of the shaft,^shaking the town of Cokedale and throw^^ing everybody into a fever of excitement.^A few mlnutea later flames hurat forth^from the building and spread with alarm^^ing rapidity to the shaft house and tram^^way ehede. So tierce did the Are rage that^when the Livingston relief party reached^the scene every building around the^mauth of the shaft was one rolling,^:-e( thing mass of flames, and the fire^v. as sweeping down the long Hue of tram-^nay sheds towatd the pumping station^ami washer and coka ovens. More than^MM feet of hose was h-i-rle H^' laid from^the washer to ih^ mouth o* th.a shaft and^the lire was confined to the shart fcouseen.^glue house and nolsting building, which^was burned to the ground
Asthe fire crept up close to the powder^magazine on the bluff close to the shaft^house, the alarm spread throughout Coke-^dale tha' the magazine, containing 2,000^pounds of black powder an 1 dynamite,^was doomed. A wdld stampede followed,^men, women and children fleeing madly^away from the camp to the open country^to escape th terrible explosion momen^^tarily expected. By hard and heroic work,^however, on the part of the Livingston^relief committee, th* Are wa* stopped aJ^'he very edge of the pov.d.r magazine^and a disastrous explosion was avoided.
Asthe flames raged the heavy steel ca^^ble melted and parted. This warned the^:A miners 1,000 feet underground that^something had gone wrong. Some of them^climbed up the main shaft, but finding^the Are proof door closed and nearly red-^hot, hurriedly retraced their steps, giv^^ing the alarm as they descended. All the^miners then rushed fb the air shaft,^climbing up ladders, and reached the open^air. At 11 o'clock 53 of the rd men known^to be in the mine appeared on the sur^^face. Two hours later a posse at work^at the mouth of the shaft heard some^one pounding on the Inside of the fire^proof door. It was opened and the miss^^ing man. nearly dead with fright, came^forth, his hair fairly standing on end.
Asthe lire died out the rause of the ex^^plosion was ascertained It was occa^^sioned by the head of the massive hot air^receiver and compressor blowing out. The^piece was found fully 2.i0 feet distant,^having been blown through the building,^scattering splinters all over the hill. It^was supposed that the frietlon caused by^the escaping air produced spontaueous^combustion and thus set the building on^Are. Everything is now a tnns-i of smoul^^dering ruins within a ^Oi-yard radius of^^where stood this morning one of the^largest and most expensive steam hoist^^ing plants In the state. The entire ma^^chinery, Including the 400- liorse power^boilers and engine, the double hoists and^the 3,000-foot steel cable, is practically^ruined. The loss is placed at Jvi.ivi, with^pi.nno insurance. The destruction of the^plant will throw nearly am men out of^employment and suspended operations .it^Cokedale for an Indefinite period.
Atthe time of the Are General Man^^ager Allen and Superintendent Wlckes^were both In Helena. They left for Liv^^ingston on receipt of the news, arriving^by special train this afternoon. Manager^Allen returned from Cokedale this even^^ing and will return to Helena In the^morning. To a Standard reporter he^stated that the loss would hardly reach^INyMl He said the company would not^wait for new hosting works, but would^immediately rebuild and begin the work^of placing the old hoisting plant, discard^^ed three years ago, Into position. The^mine pumps will he repaire 1 right av.ay^and put to work so a.i to keep the mine^from flooding. The company has a new^mine, rec ently opened, one mile west, and^th* small hoist there will be kept in ope^^ration so that the shut down will not be^as complete or for so long as seems to be^the general belief.

Louisville,July 30^The ca^e of Miss^Grace Daugherty, the 14-year-old^daughter of David Daugherty. is one^that is remarkable in many respects^Physicians are puzzled, and no cause^can be assigned f ir her present condl^tlon. In three month* ^he has grown^12 inches, and, if i't wer^ not that death^I* ^o near 11 hand, it Is possible the^wondetful growth would continue.
Sixmonths ago the girl, who Is very^pretty, was In porA M health. She w as^plump, and had never suffered from^disease Almost without warning there^was a decline In her physical condition.^Miss Daugherty grew worse as time^passed About three months ago she^was compelled to take to her bed The^disease did not yield to treatment, and^now she Is In a dying condition. Yes^^terday it was thougai that life had lie^come extinct, but she rallied. She is^now emaciated
Sinceher illness the family had no^^ticed that Miss Daugherty had grown^with strange rapidity. She formerly^nn isured in height about four feet nine^Inches. Now she is a foot taller. Her^growth was uniform, and she has al^^most outgrown the bed on which she^lies. Her heaiil 'almost loin-h. s one end,^her feet the other. The mother con^^firms the story of the strange growth^Physicians do not undertake to ac^^count, for the unnatural growtth of^Miss Daugherty. They say it |l unpre^^cedented.
