Near Cherry, Illinois, there has been
one of the most disastrous explosions and
fire in a coal mine that is on record.
Four hundred men are believed to have
perished. Some hay caught fire in the
mine. Those in charge failed to use the
necessary precautions, and nearly all that
were in the mine fell victims to the fire
and smoke. Fourteen brave men went
down in "the cage" to rescue those in the
mine. They rescued many, but thirteen
of the rescuers perished. There is much
criticism of the engineer in charge of the
cage for stubbornness in its management
during the emergency, resulting in the
death of these thirteen men.
