As the funeral car and a mail truck, impressed into the somber service, have alternated during the day in their tragic journeys from mine to morgue, the town has watched their comings with ever recurrent fear on the part of nearly everyone that a member of the family or a friend will be found at the journ- eys end. Yet every time one of these carriers of death came halting at the morgue door the throng would press about until men of the American Legion were enlisted as guardians to hold the crowd in check. Thereafter the waiting people hurried at each new visitation of the hearse to read the growing list of identified dead posted in the lobby of the postoffice near by. And out on the hillside, almost over the tunnels where lost miners now lie dead, graves were dug to give them places for their eternal rest. A possible seventy-fiv- e men of those buried in the No. 2 mine of the Utah Fuel company at Castlegate have a chance of being rescued alive, and may be even now waiting and aiding their rescuers, according to local officials of the company. Estimates of the company show that approximately that many men were working near the areas not susceptible to being readily filled with gas and the probabilities of men from the trap were increased when officials of the company explained the lay of the ground. Although it is not known who the men are or exactly what their number may be it is reported that about forty were working in section C and that a possible thirty-fiv- e were at work in or near the part referred to as section B. Men closely identified with the company explained that these two sections are approximately a mile distance from section A, from which the more than forty bodies were taken up to a late hour Monday night, and that the sections are much higher than those in which the men are being found dead. tear-eye- " ' :A r lust-minut- n - (No. 2) si-e- k (No. 3) . :?rw w, , fjv. ir-- vv u F.Vl - ;X pF .l f JL ., his appointments to the office ol juvenile Judge meets with the approval of the faculty and , the board ol education.

Fathers and Sons Perish In Mine Castlegate. Youths born and raised in Castlegate, sons of coal miners all, together with their fathers, perished in the explosion that snuffed out 173 lives in Mine No. 2 of the Utah Fuel company Saturday. Records of the company kept in the company offices a mile and a half away from the scene of the catastrophe, reveal the fact that in seven instances fathers and sons perished. In two instances the deadly explosions followed by the accumulation of gases claimed as their victims a father and two sons. The youths in man yinstances were scarcely out of their teens, but they had taken their places at the side of fathers and with them went to their death. William Morrison and his two Dan and James, are recorded as missing, while in the second instance the bodies of George and Norman Harrison have been reclaimed from the death chambers, while that of their father still is carried on the companys roster as missing. The body of George Harrison was the first removed from the mine, while that of his brother was the eighth. Other fathers and sons were Thomas Pelly, Sr., and Thomas, Jr. David Evans and his son Frank; Basil s and his son, Brinley; Robert Dodd and his son, Harry and Horace Simpson and his son Clarence. Simpson went through the disaster in 1900, which cost 200 lives. He had served in that property as a fire boss and also as a mine boss. Because of his advanced age he was employed in the Mine No. 2 as a track man. Rescuers entering the mine early Monday morning found his small tin pail in which he carried rail and his tools along the side of the track in the main entry, but were unable to find any trace of his body. It is believed that it is buried beneath a pile of fallen coal. .r , Castlegate, Utah. The agony of suspense as to the lives of the 173 miners entombed in Saturday mornings explosion at the Utah Fuel company's coal mine here is ended for the families of many of the victims. The worst is the news that they have feared. For the others, while fie worlt, too, will probably be their mete, hope none the less will linger while yet the outcome is at all uncertain. Bodies are being rapidly recov- - ered but it is thought it will be several days before all have been found. Out at the mouth of No. 1 left escapeway, where the work is being carried on, encouraging word of progress brought the best news since the disaster happened. Yet rapid as was the progress of Monday as compared with that of the hours before, the dangers which beset the rescuing squads call for the utmost caution.

The appointment is effective ns ol February 23. Mr. Taylor has accepted the appointment. He has at all time taken an active interest in the wei fare of the schools of the country and way in the searchings of the inward chambers of the mine, followed by those who bring fresh air, water line and the means for clearing the passageways as they are encountered. The search must extend into even the most remote recesses of the labyrinth below ground before it will be possible to say with certainty that all is known that might be known about Utahs greatest tragedy in more than two decades1 one of the worst mine disasters in the history of western mining. While sober judgment holds to the fatalistic conclusion that every man caught within the mine is dead and possibly has been dead for two days and more, the hope of safety for a few at least can not be downed.
