The Three Star Mine was the scene of a terrible accident at 12:10 a.m. yesterday morning. As near as could be learned by Coronor W.J. Burne the following appears as correct a statement of the circumstances as will ever be made. The real cause will never be known. It appears that Chase and Scadden, the two young men that were killed, went to work at 11 p.m., and that fourteen holes had been charged and fired by the off going shift at 9:30, but three had missed. The young men were duly warned. At 11:30 they were hoisted some ten feet to bar down the sides of the shaft. At 12:10 they were lowered and simultaneously with the striking of the bottom of the shaft by the bucket the explosion took place. Chas's body was terribly shattered. Scadden's hurts were chiefly about the head. Chase's funeral will be held at 12 o'clock Sunday at this home at Mr. Pleasant, and Scadden's Monday at 10 a.m. at the family residence in Auburn.
