THREE MEN TRAPPED THIRTY FACE DEATH IN HEROIC ALLY WORKING FOR THEIR RESCUE. Denver.—A News special from Sil verton Sunday night says; Six men are dead —five of them as the result of trj ing to rescue men trapped in the Gold King mine by the fire that de stroyed all buildings on the surface —and seven are in hospitals here re covering frt m the fumes of carbonic acid gas. Of these seven, five were members of the first rescue party that went into the mine. One of the three men caught under ground, prey for the dead'y and subtle carbonic acid pas. died as be reached the surface. His two comrades were brought up nearly dead at 3 o'clock this morning with the bodies and with five others who were near breathing their last for the sake of saving others. Silently Silverton paid her tribute to the dead today, when the special trains, bearing 300 volunteers of the second rescue party that was rushed to Gladstone last night, reached the city, with six bodies aboard and bear ing the seven men whose lives were near ended from deadly fumes. When fire, supposedly the work of an incendiary, swept through all of the buildings of the Gold King at Glad stone Friday night, it was believed that all of the meu underground had es caped. as well as those sleeping in the bunkhouses. A relief train that was sent from here soon after the fire start ed. brought back its passengers be cause it was believed that all wefe safe. With dawn of yesterday a check of the men returned three missing—Erick son. Flnstrom and Johnson. Nearly every man in camp volunteered to go below ground, and thirty were chosen to make a search of the gas-filled work ings for the three men thought to be either lost or helpless. With nearly every man. woman and child standing anxiously about the mine. In silent terror of the death-deal ing gases below, the thirty rescuers were sent down. Air could not be supplied to them, because all of the ma chinery was in ruins from the fire, and they Knew that their lives might be the price of reaching the three men somewhere far underground. The thirty rescuers went to the fifth level and began their search. They found their men but before they could be hoisted the rescuers began to suc cumb. On the surface the long wait caused a call for more rescuers, and then the two trainloads of men hurried from Sil verton. Assisted by some of the stronger of the original party, the new volunteers began to take out the living and the dead. By 4 o'clock thirteen of the first par ty had reached the surface, some of them seemingly nearly dead. The men then set to work with frenzied speed, and continued their efforts until 3 o'clock this morning. The dead are; Victor Erickson, one of three min ers entrapped In the mine following the fire in the tipple and tram house: Peter McEnaney. Roy Coburn. Axel Johnson. A. W. Burns. Gus Olson. Probably the miner who is in the most serious condition and who is not expected to live, is Herman Matson, who vaa one of the three entombed miners. John Finstrom. the third one, is very sick, but he will probably re cover. Others of the rescuing party who are In a bad condition bv being overcome by gas. are David Ixiuls. Otto Johnson.
